Spike dumped the theater format for a more whatever-that-was in last night's re-christened VGX, increasing the show's length to three hours but still, as ever, seeming to minimize its purpose: Recognize the best games of the year. Twenty-three awards were given out; here are all of them.
E3 is for showing off the games that everyone will be talking about in the future. It’s a show about building buzz. And this year, according to the various members of the media who dole out the Game Critics Awards, Titanfall is a game that folks should be paying attention to. The upcoming title from Respawn Studios…

Of all the landmarks in science fiction history that we predicted would happen in your lifetime, there's one that I really can't believe hasn't happened yet.
