Now that E3 2011 has passed and we’ve had some time to process what was shown it’s time to provide you with our take on which titles stood above all others.
Below is a list of nominees for each of this year’s catergories. Rather than limit ourselves to a specific number of games for each award, we’ve highlighted all of those games that we see as worthy contenders. Therefore, different awards contain different numbers of nominees.
