Game Critics Announce Best Of E3 Nominees

Posted by simoniker on from the critical-thinking dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the 2003 list of nominees from the Game Critics Best Of E3 Awards. This conglomeration of journalists from most of the major magazines and websites will announce the winners on June 10th, but the nomination statistics show some interesting trends, with the army tactical combat game Full Spectrum Warrior the most-nominated title, and the PC leading the nominee breakdown by platform, closely followed by PS2, Xbox, and then Gamecube.

    I think its kind of dissapointing that they have a solitary GBA game listed 'Boktai.'

    So often people overlook the gameboy when lumping all game platforms together, yet it has a insane selection of excellent titles to be had and coming soon.

    Just out of E3 there was Boktai (the one they did get, a crazy light-based vamire game), Mario and Luigi (the sequel to Super Mario RPG), Advance Wars 2 (Just plain brilliant turn-based strategy), Warioware Inc. (Both original and insane minigame frenzy), and more I'm probally forgetting.

      Well, you should probably look to some different sites:

      Netjak has FF Crystal Chronicles at #10 for their best of show, and FF Tactics Advance was #1.

      Sword of Mana and Zelda: Four Swords made their Best Surprises list, and both of their reviewers have the GBA in the top spot for the best console.

      There's the link for their full coverage.

  2. The Eye-Toy?! by Alkaiser · · Score: 3, Informative

    Are you f*cking serious?!

    It was roundly given "Worst Peripheral of Show" by us.

    What the hell are these guys thinking? They're obviously just trying to suck up to Sony. The Karaoke machine for the XBox was a far better idea. The stupid Eye-Toy had games where you were supposed to kill ninjas before they hit your head...however, you could just shuffle left and right, and KILL THEM WITH YOUR HEAD.

    "If the general public can't play something,"

    It's not a show for the general public, and never has been.

    It's a show for journalists and buyers - and I don't think any of them failed to see HL2.
