We've tallied the votes, talked to the horses, smelled the flowers, and received all the checks under the table. After two days of rigorous (haha!) video gaming, Destructoid now proudly announces its picks for E3 Game of the Show -- the few games that actually got our cynical staff all hot and bothered. In no particular order, congratulations to the teams responsible for these eleven games:
- Portal 2
- Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
- PixelJunk Shooter 2
- Disney Epic Mickey
- XCOM
- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
- Bulletstorm
- Gears of War 3
- LittleBigPlanet 2
- Rock Band 3
- Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
We'd also like to recognize PixelJunk Shooter 2 as the sleeper hit of the show -- it's buried somewhere in the Sony area and isn't getting the attention it deserves. If you're at E3, definitely give it a look.
On Friday, we'll announce our winner, and we're curious what our readers think about which title most deserves it. Which game would you vote for?
