With the bleeps and bloops of our beloved games -- and we suppose Mega Man 9 was the only thing that sounded like that, really -- echoing through a cavernous and lifeless Los Angeles Convention Center, it was clear that this year's E3 was different. But the more things change, the more they stay the same. We still got to play some promising games, we still had to endure some rotten ideas and we still had to roll our eyes at corporate PR foibles. Thankfully, that's exactly what the Joystiq E3 2008 Awards are for.

Thanks Joystiq, this was good fun. Ironically, it also seems better thought out and less knee-jerky than the "legit" e3 awards.

Duke Nukem Trilogy stole the show... seriously. If Nintendo and Sony's conferences were just that trailer over and over again, then the DS/PSP logos, they both would have won.
Then MS would show that same trailer and say "COMING FOR XBOX 360!"

Before the Sony press conference I had never heard of this Jack Palance. Thank goodness for Wikipedia!
