Game Critics Awards

Since 1998, an independent group of about forty worldwide media outlets who determine the best games of the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
'Best of E3 2015' Game Critics Awards Announced
How did No Man's Sky win anything for E3 2015? I don't mean it doesn't deserve awards, but I was under the impression that it was very deliberately not even being shown.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't basically everybody involved with it constantly saying "We're not showing anything from No Man's Sky at this year's E3"?
Didn't Brad say he (and possibly someone else) had an appointment to see more of the game after the conferences? I swear he talked about it on a podcast.
@moonwalksa: They showed it to press, dont think it was on the floor. Guy from Hello mentioned doing appointments 10 hours a day for three days during the IGN footage of it. (which was filmed at E3)
Platform awards seem like an excuse to award more games, honestly. But i'm pretty cynical about most 'game awards' because it always ends up being a publicity stunt.

Nah, it was absolutely shown to many publications behind closed doors, and was even playable. Brad and Danny talked about their experiences a few weeks ago on the Bombcast.
@zor: All of these games were 'playable' in the way that Jeff has explained on the podcast before. Even if the majority of the presentation was a live demo, judges have to confirm that that demo was running on a live build of the game by playing it themselves for some short amount of time.
@noli: Would it offend you if I said I played, and enjoyed, every Uncharted game?

I'm not saying there aren't exclusives. But giving Fallout 4 best pc game is weird considering that it is coming out on everything. If anything shouldn't xcom 2 get best pc game because that is the only pc exclusive I can think of. Also you might want to respond to people's comments in a less sarcastic way. Some people don't like being talked to like that.
@austin_walker: Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
Naughty Dogitis is that an actually disease? Hooray for Fallout 4 & Rise of the Tomb Raider even though Uncharted beat it.
@moonwalksa: game is getting too much publicity, for not showing much
@austin_walker's list is far more interesting and dare I say it charming than the official list. Keep up the great work. Thanks for not just slapping up the list and being satisfied with that as a news post. Your thoughts are appreciated.
@coolarman: Didn't mean to offend. It's just that everytime there is a list like this, someone points out what you did, and it doesn't really ring true. There are exclusive games, and there are games that will be substantially better on PC, like Fallout 4. So I can easily see how Fallout 4 gets to grab that award.
Something about E3 awards have always rubbed me up the wrong way.
Awards for trailers for games that no one has played yet? Most well dressed dev or most decadent plastic swag seem just as legit and useful.
I mean, the division won best new franchise in 2013, and it was only this year that people (probably ubisoft included) really saw how it even plays. Not to mention Watchdogs getting best PC game in 2012.
I guess it's nice for the devs at crunch time, but a bit like the blind leading he blind for everyone else.
