The Game Critics Awards "Best of E3 2004" list has been announced, and Splinter Cell 3 and Halo 2 tied for garnering the most awards by winning 3 awards apiece. SC3 won for Best PC Game, Best Action/Adventure Game, and a Special Commendation for Graphics. Here's a quote from one of the judges:"With a strong field of candidates in the Best PC Game category, innovation was a key factor, and Splinter Cell 3 delivered. Its graphical fidelity was impressive on its own, helping construct stunningly realistic environments for skulking and stalking. But the standout was the fresh cooperative multiplayer options. Two spies working together, pulling each other into new locations, using each other's skills to access different areas and hanging in the shadows to avoid detection - it's a thing of beauty, standing proudly above the PC gaming competition as the Best PC game of E3 2004." So it looks like we have great things to look forward to! Check out a full list of all the award winners here. |
