The gods have been thanked, the cocktail dresses are ruined, and the votes are in! As usual, this year’s E3 Game Critics Awards are presented by people whose opinions you should trust because they’re game critics and they know what they’re talking about because they’re paid to say it.
Big time winner is Irrational’s BioShock Infinite, which takes home four awards including the jealously coveted Best of Show, as well as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Battlefield 3. Elsewhere, the PS Vita waved its bum at the Wii U, taking the prize for best new hardware.
