Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

see link for runner-ups.
And imo, Scribblenauts was robbed of best DS game

All of that seems reasonable to me I guess. I didn't expect Splinter Cell to win on the 360 side though--it's nice to see they came off that hobo stuff I saw a while back because it was looking pretty lame.

U2 deserved it, it had an amazing showing at E3.

The list is spot on.

Best of show runner-ups looks flawed.

Bayonetta beats GoW3 as the best Action gameand yet it's not in the runner-ups but GoW3 is. Splinter Cell best 360 game not in RU, but AC2 is(shouldn't that be best 360 game then)? Brutal Legend listed nowhere as best of console or genre but is a RU?

Eh.

Scribblenauts should be best DS and GOTS.

Really good list in my opinion. The Other M trailer was pretty epic. Awesome that Bayonetta is coming out so... well... awesome! Scribblenauts should have probably taken DS, but it's understandable that a Zelda would take that.

Don't agree as far as PS3, Wii, and DS.

I thought:

PS3: GoWIII
Wii: SMG2
DS: Golden SunLethalhazard

Pretty sure they have to be playable.

well, Golden Sun wasn't playable so I can understand it not being there. Same for SMG2

I don't know about the racing part, I think forza showed just as much as gran turismo, or it could be just me.

I was the most impressed with Uncharted, so I agree with GOTS award.

Pretty solid except Mass Effect 2 >>>> Splinter Cell. Also, how did Uncharted get game of show but not be considered the best game at the show in its genre?Senor_Kami

There's no logic to these things. :P

no complaints here

Good list, all in all i agree with it

Good list. I've been looking at gameplay vids of Shadow Complex and man I can't wait to dl it and play it.

The lack of both an action-adventure category and The Last Guardian is saddening.

But...how can Bayonetta be a better action game than God of War III, yet God of War III gets a best of show nod because "it's got the action"?

*confused*

i disagree with sports.. should be wii sports resort

I'd be curious to see their justification for Forza over GT.OrwellJames

And trailer definitely goes to BioWare, Star Wars: The Old Republic, who cares if its CG, that thing blew my mind! I want a new Star Wars movie because of that trailer.

New Super Mario Bros Wii over Super Mario Galaxy 2 I am surprised not saying its gonna be a bad game but Super Mario Galaxy 2 looks awesome.

Looks good but i think Best 360 should go to Alan Wake and Best PS3 should go to GoW3.

And hell yea Bayonetta will be friggin sweet.

Naughty Dog went allout for the show, they deserve it.

• Awesome on stage demo
• Fantastic new trailer
• Multiplayer kiosks set-up
• Co-op kiosks set up
• They were showing more of the single player upstairs at the Sony booth

They even timed the beta with the show.
