Also Appearing on the: 360
Why it won: Left 4 Dead was entertaining on many levels. It mixes the camaraderie of a four-player co-op experience with intense heat-pounding action, immersive audio and visual effects and of course, an awesome post-apocalyptic zombie/survival movie inspired setting. The gameplay is simple, fluid, and elegant. Left 4 Dead could be the sleeper hit of the year on the PC.
Best Action Game (Console)
Gears of War 2
Developer: Epic Games
Publisher: Microsoft
Release Date: Nov. 08
Shown at E3 on the: 360
Also Appearing on the: 360
Why it won: We might not have gotten the two-dollar demo of the single player game at E3 from Microsoft, but Epic was nice enough to get us into the Gears of War 2 after party for a little hands-on multiplayer time. I#DY#m not the biggest console multiplayer person in the world, but if you liked Gears of War, I think it#DY#s safe to say Gears of War 2 will be right up your alley. The new gameplay modes are a lot of fun and the new maps will feel like a refreshing breeze to veteran players and noobs alike. Gears of War 2 is badder than ever.
