Xbox 360 And Windows Games Pick Up Major Awards
By Nathan Bronfman Outstanding! The limelight does not shine on the Xbox 360 as much as it ought to. What sin has the 360 committed? The sin of already being out; it's a known entity. Sony's PS3 and Nintendo's Wii still have a few months of playing the mysterious dark horse role, and so people will continue to focus more on them. That's okay. After the Game Critics Awards, 95% of the headlines had to do with the Wii. But Microsoft games did quite well and picked up some major awards. Slow and steady wins the race, somebody much smarter than me once said. Here's the official bragging release from Microsoft: The critics have spoken, and Windows and Xbox 360 platforms continue to be the talk of the 12th annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), receiving half of the 16 total Game Critics Awards: Best of E3 2006, awards distributed by an independent group of journalists from 37 leading North American media outlets that cover the video games industry.
