PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

IGN's looks pretty legit actually!

Note of caution.... Last Guardian won a best of E3 award in 2009...


tekken tag 2, dead or alive 5, virtua fighter 5 (xbox live psn), persona 4 the ultimate battle

IGN's nomination list was both a head-scratcher and just plain retarded. That being said, the results aren't that far from what I expected anyways.

Tomb Raider best overall? ...no just no -_-. How can you give that award to it when it didn't even win any subcategories?



"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." -My good friend Mark Aurelius

Sad state of RPGs, I personally would have choosen Final Fantasy Dimensions

why?


Weird, I take back what I said. When IGN showed their nomination list the other day, it was lacking a number of very blatant nominations for certain categories, and the 3ds only had one or two games even nominated for "best on 3ds".

But now the list of nominations is showing a much more fleshed out spread which is more in-line with what they should have done. I'm not entirely sure what shenanigans are going on here. :P
