Evolve, No Man’s Sky dominate Best of E3 2014 Game Critics Awards
Two of the most buzzed-about games going into the 2014 E3 Expo were Turtle Rock’s Evolve and Hello Games’s No Man’s Sky. Not surprisingly, both games cleaned up in this year’s Best of E3 2014 Game Critics Awards.
Evolve tallied four wins including “Best of Show,” “Best Console Game,” “Best Action Game,” and “Best Online Multiplayer.” No Man’s Sky traded on its unique reputation while on its way to winning “Best Original Game” and “Best Independent Game” as well as a “Special Commendation For Innovation.”
No other game was honored in multiple categories though Super Smash Bros. For 3DS was selected as “Best Handheld/Mobile Game” and Super Smash Bros. For Wii U took home “Best Fighting Game.”
A complete list of this year’s winners can be found after the break. (more…)
Game Critics Awards has announced their Best of E3 2014 nominees
The Best of E3 2014 nominees are in, and Evolve is currently leading the pack with six nominations (Best of Show, Best Original Game, Best Console Game, Best PC Game, Best Action Game, and Best Online Multiplayer). The rest of the Best in Show games all have multiple nominations as well – Alien: Isolation, Batman: Arkham Knight, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, No Man’s Sky, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege. After all the attention it’s gotten, I’m surprised Sunset Overdrive isn’t on that list, but it’s on a few others.
Check out the full list of nominees after the jump.

No Man’s Sky continues to amaze in E3 2014 trailer
Sony showed off this gorgeous trailer for No Man’s Sky at its E3 press conference on Monday. The procedurally-generated open-world – or rather, open-universe – game promises to give every player a wholly unique experience. It’s ridiculously beautiful and so huge in scope that I’m sure gamers everywhere can’t wait to get their hands on it.
No Man’s Sky will be released on the PlayStation 4. There is no release date for it yet. For more details, check out the message from developer Hello Games at the PlayStation Blog.

Developed by Hello Games, every player will spawn on their own planet – no two people will have their own planet. The game is heavy on exploration and space battles, and appears to have a very deep multiplayer experience.
