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.

    I'm surprised there aren't more posts mentioning NWN. Maybe that's because a sizable portion of the /. crowd is glued to it tonight. I got my copy today. I must say, it looks great. Movement is a little awkward, maybe I'll get used to it eventually. But the real promise is with the toolset.

    Fine, so maybe he should have said "uh, burn is a verb, or a noun". It's still not an adjective. I think
