I'm surprised Tatsunoko won best fighter over the bigger fighters.

I finally got a chance to play, so I'm even more surprised.

Scribblenauts was my biggest surprise, I didn't even know about the game until E3, now I can't wait to play it though.
Also if I remember correctly Tatsunoko also won best fighter at another site(I think G4), so it seems it's turning out really good.

Weird that they put Muramusa as the best platformer. I've always seen it denoted as an Action RPG.

Yeah, it's not a plaformer. I've heard from others that it really isn't a RPG either, but more of action title like Monster Hunter.

Mass Effect 2 wins best Multi-platform and Roleplaying game. Mass Effect FTW!!! Congratulations is due to Scribblenauts. That game looks crazy.



Mr Khan on 11 June 2009

That's a very, very broad definition of platformer that they have there



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

So best graphics goes to AC2. The competition for graphics was high at E3. Like I said I believed AC2 was in with a chance to win best graphics. Seems I'm not alone in thinking it's all very close now.

Also Mass Effect 2 clearly destroyed FF13 as best RPG this E3. Even though both were playable. Mass Effect 2 is destined to beat it's little brother as best RPG of all time IMO.

I'mm fairly happy with this list.

FF13 was not playable, you can ask Naz if you don't believe me.

Sorry, it was a demo played by the devs in a room. So it was still a full playable showing. But FF13 is really up against it next year for best RPG. Even though FF13 will sell more.
