Forums - Gaming - Game Critics Awards: Last of Us wins Best of Show

M.U.G.E.N on 26 June 2012

Sound Shapes was praised by MANY publications. It's a unique and fun looking game so I'm glad it's getting recognition
same goes for Unfinished Swan

as for TLOU...well it's TLOU. Of the demos we saw this was the most impressive one for me. Second place would be either AC3 or watch dogs

I'm surprised Injustice won best fighter...guess it's better than I thought it would be

Thanks for the breakdown Andrespetmonkey. Sony did show a big improvement on the games portion this year.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Damn Sony!


yeah like i explained, if you have the best game of show, you win many awards for that (console game, game of whatever genre and so on). so even if they would have had only one game on the whole show they would have won almost the same amount of awards^^

€dit: oh it was in the other thread...

Hahaha, it's okay Crissinda. We all know which thread is better, j/k. I haven't posted in yours but I'm getting confused also. I'm surprised one of these hasn't closed yet.

Looking at their previous years, I feel some sort of bias in these claimed winners, to be honest.
