Big Media Gives E3 Best of Awards
List of awards is declared 'definitive' by people who make the list
Posted 23 Jun 2009

As Gawkers' Kotaku points out about the Game Critics Awards list, which it and 28 other sources have worked up, "Lots of sites and magazines will tell you what they thought the best stuff at E3 was. Heck, we did! But only one set of awards are the result of the biggest outlets joining forces."
Big, as we know is best and most informative (hence mainstream media is so much more informative and successful right now than the blogosphere). So, this is in fact, "the definitive list of what really stole the show at E3." So, now you know. The nice thing is also that all of the big names in gaming get a mention.
