Best Of E3 Awards Announced

Posted by simoniker on from the isn't-it-time-for-the-next-one-yet? dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing out that several sites have now posted their Best Of E3 awards, including Gamespy's Top 25 awards, and separate best-ofs from IGN PS2, IGN Xbox, and IGN Cube. Oh, and the Gamespy editors also found a grilled cheese sandwich to be one of their biggest E3 highlights.

      Ha ha. First I thought it was going to be funny, and then it wasn't! What a comic genius!

      Coincidentally, the "+4 Funny" score followed by your post had an identical effect.

    doom 3 doesn't make any appearence in their top 25 list, which i thought was pretty surprising. anybody read their coverage and knows if they actually thought it wasn't good enough, or did they just think it got enough publicity last year, and is way over hyped already?

      For IGN, D3 wasn't qualified to be in the running, because it didn't have a playable demo, just a movie. I don't know if Gamespy had such restrictions or not.

      No, Half-life DID have a playable demo. They played through the bug level and the underground tunnels levels in real time. Several of the e3 articles commented on it.

  3. saddening by r0b0t+b0y · · Score: 3, Interesting

    from the article about the grilled cheese sandwhich:

    Tucked away inside Kentia Hall -- more commonly referred to as SARS Central -- just a few yards away from the Korean Gaming Pavilion and that guy hocking Dragon Ball Z stickers was The Big Cheese.

    emphasis added by me.

    now even as a non-asian person, i find this remark to be quite offensive. in fairness to the writers of the article, the whole convention was likely dubbing the area "SARS Central" -- but that's just worse. at best it's a tasteless and inappropriate joke and at worst, it's a very racist remark. i'm really disappointed in gamespy .. i'm used to them producing higher quality articles that don't have to resort to racial slurs to keep readers reading.
