As if it needed any more support, Rock Band was named the Best of Show of E3 2007 by the Game Critics Awards.
The music sim game also won for best peripheral and best social/casual/puzzle game (I don’t quit get that last one, but I wasn’t asked to vote). Other winners include LittleBigPlanet (PS3) for Best Original Game, Mass Effect (Xbox 360) as Best Console Game, Crysis for Best PC Game and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS) for Best handheld Game.
Rock Band has been gearing up even before it was announced in May 2007. It’s really no surprise since it’s basically the next evolution of the popular Guitar Hero series though it does not bear its name.
According to the Washington Post, “The Game Critics Awards have been around for a decade and are decided by 36 journalists who submit nominees in more than a dozen categories. The games have to have been playable by journalists at E3 rather than just shown in videos.”
