Assassin's Creed Brotherhood got Best Action Title of the E3 Show
Pfft. I'm not surprised.
E3 2010: X360A's Best of Show
Written Sunday, June 20, 2010 By Dan Webb
This year’s E3 is all done and dusted now and before we head home to lock ourselves in a room and write up our impressions of everything we saw, we spent the last few days lounging around the pool thrashing out our winners for this year’s Best of Show awards - yes, it’s a tough life, but we do it because we care...
While this year’s show lacked the big announcements that we’ve come to know and love, the games as usual delivered and there were plenty of standout titles. New to the awards this year is the Best Rest of Show award, where we award the title that doesn’t fit into the traditional categories that we often celebrate - be it a fighter, sports game or music title. Without further ado, let’s get on with the show.
Best Action Title of the Show
Two titles. Both sequels. One award. Both are looking to add more to their already impressive and much loved originals, including multiplayer, but there can only be one winner. Of course, I’m talking about Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and Dead Space 2 and it was a hard category to call this one. One that could have gone either way. Fortunately for Ubisoft Montreal, the coin landed on the Assassin’s Creed side and although there was a few noses turned up at the franchise getting multiplayer - admittedly, mine was one of them - the core game is also receiving a ton of new features to make this look like a must have for action-adventure fans the world over. Boasting 15 hours of new single player content in a new city with a new combo system, the ability to throw weapons and the new BAM move (“Brotherhood Assassin Move”), it ultimately meant that Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood just edged ahead of its closest rival.
Pfft. I'm not surprised.
