NO. I disagree Skyrim should have won. Actually it should have won everything even best racing game. the only thing It should not have won was one of its wins which is best console game that was reserved for ME3.
My opinion was stated...get over it world.

Wow, out of 14 console playable games, 12 are playable on the 360. No wonder it received 55 nomination. No wonder the other thread about online capaple games shows the 360 with a huge lead.

press confrences whether good or bad shouldn't be a sole basis on a game's merit. yes it should factor in but sometimes stuff happens that you can't plan for. they've been very humble at all the conventions instead of being arrogant. they know they have a winner but rather then flaunt it they show us bits and peices and let us make up our own minds instead of cramming it down our throats like other games. you want a good example? duke nuke em forever had a good confrence and a HORRIBLE product followed it..case and point

although its not my favorite game of the show (I'm biased towards SWTOR =P) it is a well deserved award.

This is all because TOR blew it with that genuinely AWFUL EA conference.
I mean, wtf was that? "Im not gonna convince you to play our game"
followed by the original trailer.

I sure hope that was just a time issue..

how can this be? star wars the old republic won 11 awards at E3! a game that wins 11 awards as opposed to 4 should clearly be "best in show". all bias aside 1 panel of critics deemed bioshock the best while 11 other panels gave them awards including "best of E3" and somehow bioshock wins? here's a link for anyone who wants to see all the awards SWTOR won at E3..odd that the game critics didn't mention star wars for any awards.
