While this year's E3 has come and gone, the industry's 34 voting publications included in the Game Critics Awards voted for the best games they saw at this year's show.
The big winner this year is Naughty Dog's The Last of Us for Sony. It managed to cop five awards within the association — which means it must have impressed them mighty fierce.

Well, there you have it. While most of the winners were sequels or from already established franchises, Ubisoft's Watch Dogs and Lucas Arts' Star Wars 1313 did manage to make a dent somewhat. It's also worth pointing out that this might be one of the weakest E3s we've had in quite some time, too. So there's also that.
Do you agree with The Last of Us winning Best of Show? What do you want to see at next year's E3?
