Anche quest’anno si è chiuso l’E3 2012, l’evento a carattere videoludico che si è svolto a Los Angeles e che ha visto la presentazione di numerosi videogiochi da parte di altrettante aziende di produzione. I titoli presentati in alcuni casi sono dei veri e propri capolavori del videogioco. Successivamente vengono effettuate delle candidature per premiare i migliori titoli presentati nel corso dell’E3. Si tratta dei Best of E3 2012, i premi che una giuria assegna ai titoli che si sono maggiormente contraddistinti.
Sono parecchie le categorie con le varie candidature, ma sicuramente la sezione che maggiormente può essere considerata interessante è quella dei Best of Show, i migliori videogame presentati.
In questa categoria ci sono nomi molto importanti, come Assassin’s Creed 3, Dishonored, Halo 4 e anche Tomb Raider. Ecco tutte le nominations.
