Game Critics Awards: Rock Band, EA best of E3 2007 |
Ó
When E3 comes, the Game Critics Awards is sure to follow. 36 judges have given their verdict, and the winners have surfaced. On top of the list is Rock Band (Xbox 360, PS3), which was branded "Best of the Show."Activision may have taken a lead over Electronic Arts as the biggest third-party publisher in the industry, but EA's huge staple of games placed the giant company on top. EA won six awards, followed by Microsoft that earned three. Sony snatched two victories, while other publishers (2K Games, Activision, Nintendo, Sega, and Sierra) also won something.

dur! it's not a puzzle but its like a social/casual game!
what an a$$ really, don't try to sounds smart and cool if you're not :)
PS Learn to read!
WHAT Why will they put in that list Halo 3 went is not out yet. How they can tell is the online is good or better then Halo 2 maybe is worst. and for Killzone 2 I think is ok if you are only talking about graphics but no one can talk about gameplay if nobody had played yet.
Not one Wii game, many 360/PS3 games
Rockband being best puzzle just shows that this list is crappy, rockband is lame anyway, i mean fun but i wouldnt go so far to call it best game of E3? its innovative and fun but how can it be better then a deep imersive game with a killer story line? Y dont ppl that wanna play rockband just get real instruments and learn to play the real thing, then it becomes cool and useful outside of playing on a console eh?
love the rage against the machine cover, that band is awesome hope they get back together
they are dip*****
HAHAHAHA! Rage against the Machine! HELL YES!
Notice how all the best games are on the 360. Enough said.
i think kz2 looks like graw2. gears still looks better than kz2, even for its age.
Rage is not together. The singer went one way the rest went with chris cornell from Soundgarden.
I don't see best shooter up there.
crysis is also comin out on ps3, so x360 aint got best games
actually rage against the machine is together, they reunited some time in April and their touring across the nation with public enemy, wu-tang clan, etc. I'm going to one of their concerts on august 11th.
I'm really looking forward to rock band!!!
Ya, the category is Social/Casual/Puzzle, so rock band fits because it's all about being social with other "band members". What i don't understand is why those three things are lumped together. they don't have much of anything to do with each other.
Who the ***** said crysis is coming for ps3 dip*****?
ps3 fanboys still make stuff up to save their system's rep.
Look any whwere crysis is only on PC. and if it were coming to consoles it would be 360, due strong relations with microsoft. But that aint happening either.
EA stands for Evil *****s
Evil *****s --- Challenges everything!!!(N ot Including everyone we bought, WestWoods, Maxis, etc.)
Still... Talk about something more important. Not games.
