Traditionally E3 has been the the be-all and end-all of gaming shows, a place that drew huge crowds, lots of flashy booths, and a ton of great games. Last year, the ESA toned down the show, going to an invite-only model and moved it to Santa Monica. For 2008, the invite-only model remained, although the show was moved back to downtown Los Angeles.

And alas, it was a quiet show. Well, if you don't count one of the best game lineups we've ever seen. Which leads to our annual E3 awards; a collection of the standout games of the event. Our team scoured the show floor and held private meetings in search of the best games of the event, and we're finally ready to unveil our findings.

It was a tough decision this year, but we decided to include external events into the rankings for the first time. We saw a large number of games during our various off-site meetings during the week, where we were given hands-on time with games not available in the pavillion or private meeting rooms.

Our awards are presented among four major categories, Special Achievement, Genre, Platform, and Overall Game of the Show. Lets get started.
