    MTV's Best of for E306

    MTV's GameTrailers have cobbled together their own Best of E3 Awards, because lord knows we need more of those. This one has 22 categories and 110 nominees. It doesn't help that the GameTrailers awards make their first screw-up in the very first category.

    According to the press release, all of the nominees, with the exception of the best trailer award, were playable at the show. So how did Assassin's Creed make the list? Or do they mean that it was playable by the people doing the demo, because to the best of my knowledge only the people demoing the game actually got their hands on a controller.

    The winners of this latest awards line-up will be announced on Friday. Hit the jump for the full list of finalists. —Brian Crecente
