After the Game Critics Awards nominated its top picks for best showings during E3 2010 in categories including ‘Best of Show,’ ‘Best Console Game’ and ‘Best Hardware,’ the organisation has today announced its award winners in each category.
id Software’s first-person shooter, RAGE, walks away with three awards, Portal 2 gets two, Dance Central also receives two nods, while Nintendo’s 3DS is awarded two final placings as well.
