"There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes." Everyone may has his one's own list of best games in E3. The website of Voodoo Extreme has released it's ranking of this year's game: Voodoo Extreme's Best of E3 2008 awards.

While the show isn't as big as it used to be, there was still plenty to see, and even judge for a little feature like this. I hope you enjoy reading these awards as much as I enjoyed going to parties and drinking all week long. Long live E3!

The details are as below:

Best Massively Multiplayer Game

Warhammer Online
Developer: Mythic
Publisher: EA
Release Date: Oct 08
Shown at E3 on the: PC
Also Appearing on the: 360

Why it won: I was surprised at how few massively multiplayer games there were at E3 this year, but consensus was that Warhammer Online was by far the best of the lot. I was a big Dark Age of Camelot player, so here's to hoping that Mythic hits one out of the park when WAR begins this Fall. Hopefully they get the shadow effects in by then so people will stop making fun of the screenshots.


Best Strategy Game

Empire: Total War
Developer: Creative Assembly
Publisher: SEGA
Release Date: Nov. 08
Shown at E3 on the: PC
Also Appearing on the: PC

Why it won: I was already a big fan of Total War's Epic land wars. Slap realistic sea battles into the mix and I'm in strategy heaven. Empire: Total War's graphics were nothing to sneeze at either.


Best Graphics

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky
Developer: GSC Game World
Publisher: Deep Silver
Release Date: Sept. 08
Shown at E3 on the: PC
Also Appearing on the: PC

Why it won: The best graphics award this year was hard to call. On one hand, we had Crysis Warhead. On the other, we have S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky. Warhead's graphics looked exactly like Crysis (maybe a little watered down so they ran faster) while Clear Sky showed a significant visual improvement over S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s visual prowess. Crysis Warhead crashing on me in the middle of playing didn't help either. Clear Sky's technological feature set is extremely impressive as well and the demo looked absolutely fabulous.
