The only one I don't agree with is Mass Effect 2. Granted, it is one of my most wanted titles in the near future, but Dragon Age really should have taken the prize imho. Either way, its a win for Bioware. :cheers:

I love the attention and gasps and cheers that Uncharted 2 got and is getting. Anyone watching the press conference knows what I am talking about. I don't recall ever hearing the crowd at a press conference be so collectively awed. The first Uncharted is one of the best "next-gen" games yet and the second seems to only be improving upon the brilliant first showing. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

I am also glad as glad can be to see the love for Scribblenauts. The game looks incredible and extremely fulfilling. It should be extremely interesting to sit down with that one when it releases. Imagine all of the possibilities!!

And congrats for Split/Second. Glad to see someone besides the big boys get some recognition and respect. :thumbs:

this sounds like best of e3 but the thread doesnt mention it

I loathe the new angle they've taken in advertising Dragon Age. Sure, there's a time and a place for Marilyn Manson, but playing the song "New Shit" in the latest trailer and acting like it's some kind snuff/exploitation game was probably the worst thing they could have done. Game still looks gorgeous but I can't say much for the latest adverts.

Confused. How can they give awards out for games that have not been released?
