E3 is over and we’ve all consumed more game demos, trailers and news in the past weeks than is probably healthy (seriously I think the hype might be about to give us a heart attack). But we came, we saw and we enjoyed (mostly).
You might have seen our E3 special podcast that began with our official best of show awards. Here we’re breaking them out for your convenience, though you should definitely check out the podcast for the discussion around our winners, picks and other games we loved at the show.
