Feature
With E3 2012 in the rear view mirror, Hooked Gamer's Mark Barley hands out his "Best of E3" awards.
Double Fine's latest in action-adventure gaming come's in the form of The Cave, a downloadable title that features seven characters embarking on a journey in a cave that has a life of its own. It's classic Double Fine as the game features puzzles, is brimming with creativity, and dunks the gamer into immersive gameplay unlike anything else.
Best PC Title - Planetside 2
Sony Online Entertainment's latest free-to-play title, Planetside 2, features awesome sci-fi action shooter gameplay in brilliant MMO style. While F2P titles have gotten a bad rap over the years Planetside 2 looks to bring back the fun inventive gameplay that once ruled PCs.
Best New IP - Watch Dogs
Ubisoft blew everyone away with the reveal of Watch Dogs, a brand new IP that features hacking and surveillance as its primary gameplay draws. The main character can hack any electronic device tied into the city's central operating system and turns that ability into a weapon in new and imaginative ways. The game will feature co-op gameplay guaranteed to be some of the most exciting action-gunplay on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 to date.
Best In Show Title - The Last of Us
While Assassin's Creed III and Beyond: Two Souls are very impressive titles, Naughty Dog's next title, The Last of Us takes the cake. The game doesn't break a whole lot of new ground in the way of gameplay but it's the collaboration between gunplay, survival gameplay, mechanics, and graphics that make this the must have game of E3.
