Forums - Gaming - Game Critics Awards announce the Best of E3 nominees

@zezlar

it wasn't freely playable

so they can't nominate it as journalists didn't get "hand on", as in they didn't get to play it

they had to see S-E people playing it



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

No, that's why they're "nominees"




Why there isn't metion of Hearts of Iron? With so few Strategy games in the show they rather put only 4 nominees than adding an awesome game like Hearts? It was in the show after all.
