Doom III Takes E3 Awards

Posted by michael on from the marines-taste-good-with-ketchup dept.

Talinom writes "This has just simply gone too far. CNN has a story that tells how the video game Doom III by id Software has won the "Best Of Show" award at the E3 convention about one year before its release. Does this mean that Duke Nukem Forever is overdue for its "Game Of The Year" award?" The awards site is E3Awards.com. I don't see how they can give an award called "Best Action Game" to something that doesn't exist as a playable game, but then again looking at the past awards I see Neverwinter Nights won in 2000... in 2001... and in 2002.

    How the hell did this get on the front page? Where is the story? So somebody doesn't like the fact that they give out awards for the games that look most promising. Who cares? I don't like the way lots of awards are done. If you don't like it, then don't read about it. It makes no difference to you. If someone is stupid enough to buy a game just because it won a Best of E3 award, then that's their problem.

    From the 2000 show:

    "... [Neverwinter Nights] is destined to be the more-addictive-than-crack game of 2001. - Aaron John Loeb Chairman, Game Critics Awards"

    I miss out on all the good games. Oh well, I should be able to find it in the bargin bin by now.
