The Game Critics Awards, a panel comprised of journalists from 38 different publications, have handed out their 2015 “Best of E3” honors and Bethesda’s Fallout 4 took home the big prize… which should come as a surprise to pretty much no one. In addition to being named “Best of Show,” Fallout 4 was also awarded “Best PC Game” and “Best Role Playing Game.”

However, Fallout 4 couldn’t win all the awards, and its quantity was actually matched by Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, which collected three awards of its own. Among the traditional awards, Nathan Drake’s next adventure won “Best Console Game” and “Best Action/Adventure Game.” But it was also selected for a “Special Commendation For Graphics” award by the Game Critics Awards panel.

Star Wars: Battlefront was the only other multi-award winner, taking home “Best Action Game” and “Best Online Multiplayer.” More interestingly, this year’s Best of E3 awards included two repeat winners… Super Mario Maker for “Best Family/Social Game” and No Man’s Sky for “Best Independent Game.”

A full list of this year’s winners can be found after the break. (more…)

Sony @ E3 2015: No Man’s Sky got a live gameplay demo tonight

More footage from the much-anticipated No Man’s Sky from Hello Games was shown during Sony’s E3 Press Conference tonight. A live demo was played on-stage by developer Sean Murray, showing the sheer scale of the game. The demo showed a single solar system, zooming out to reveal hundreds, if not thousands, of solar systems that are available for exploration. When you discover a new planet (“a planet-sized planet,” Murray noted), you can upload your discoveries to a beacon for the world to see.

No release date was announced, but this is still one to watch as Hello Games has previously said No Man’s Sky would be available for the PS4 in 2015.
