Uncharted 2 voted best game of E3
By the US critics. Natal also wins praise.
The Game Critics Awards has crowned Uncharted 2: Among Thieves as the best game of E3 2009.
The panel, made up of editors from 28 American videogame websites and magazines, voted in 15 separate categories.
Notable winners are Project Natal, which snagged Best Hardware/Peripheral, Split/Second as Best Racing Game - despite tough competition - and DJ Hero as Best Social/Casual/Puzzle, as Rock Band: The Beatles must have been hard to beat.
The full list of winners is below.
Eurogamer, incidentally, disagrees. We thought the best game of E3 was New Super Mario Bros. for Wii, although Milo & Kate - the Lionhead game for Project Natal - was our pick of the technology on show.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves got an honourable mention, and publisher Sony, we thought, had the most impressive wares of the show.
