GameSpot Announces
Winners of E3 2008
GameSpot, a gaming information site and a property of CBS Interactive, has
announced the winners of its 12th Annual GameSpot E3 2008 Editors' Choice
Awards. In addition to "Game of the Show" winner, "Fable II," shown for
the Microsoft Xbox 360, more than 25 category awards went to the most
impressive and anticipated games out of the 1,000-plus titles that were on
display at E3.
Because
the majority of game titles previewed at E3 are still in development, the
GameSpot editors evaluated games based on the features evident in the
playable demos, and speculate on the promise and quality of the finished
product. Therefore the most impressive game took the win as the best in
its class.
Finalists
and winners for the GameSpot E3 awards must have appeared at E3 and been
in a playable state. Games that appeared only as video trailers at press
conferences did not qualify.
Following
