We've decided to take a slightly different tack with our E3 awards this year. Rather than pick a single game of the show, or nominate games to other sub-categories based on genre or achievement in some specific area of technology or design, we've simply picked five games that particularly impressed us this week and presented them with our Editors' Choice Awards.The criteria for the awards are simple: the games must have been present at E3 (or a related event such as EA Play) in the form of a demonstration of actual gameplay. Hands-on on the show floor or behind closed doors isn't required, but the game must have been seen running in some form, so pre-rendered trailers don't qualify, and footage that isn't representative of the general run of gameplay will be penalised. Beyond that, we're looking for a mix of originality, polish and showmanship - this is E3, after all - and a sense that, not to mince words, the game is a real prospect that will appear in a recognisable form in the not too distant future. We'll also try to choose a relatively broad selection of games to highlight, although this being E3 you can expect a bias towards major releases from big publishers, because that's what's there.
Our five picks are coming up, but first, a look back at this year's show:
