E3 2008 Editors’ Choice Award Winners

From GameSpot

GameSpot has announced the winners of its 12th Annual GameSpot E3 2008 Editors’ Choice Awards. Because the majority of game titles previewed at E3 are still in development, the GameSpot editors evaluated games based on the features evident in the playable demos, and speculate on the promise and quality of the finished product. Therefore the most impressive game took the win as the best in its class. Finalists and winners for the GameSpot E3 awards must have appeared at E3 and been in a playable state. Games that appeared only as video trailers at press conferences did not qualify.
