Game Critic Awards

The Game Critics Awards are decided by an independent group of North American media outlets. They have selected the most promising games of each Electronic Entertainment Expo since 1998, and have thus become recognized as the most respected "Best of" awards that come out of the annual show. Games qualify for nomination by having hands-on playable versions of the game at the show.

Nominees for the 2014 Game Critics Awards were announced on June 24.

Evolve (Game) led with six nominations while Destiny and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege both had four. 2K Games (Company), Ubisoft, and WB Games (Company) led all publishers with eight nominations and PlayStation 4 (Platform) led all platforms with twenty-six nominations of games.
