Wow congrats to the ex-infinity ward team. TitanFall was my fav and game of show ever since I saw first gameplay footage at the Xbox Once Conference. Reserved mine at Gamestop this weekend for Xbox ONe. Cannot wait to play it next spring!!!

Funny story. In college we created a game where me and a buddy would sit on our futon, and throw a tennis ball off the wall at the and try to hit the other person in the face or the balls. 2 points for the face 1 for the balls. You weren't allowed to move or they got another throw. We named the game nocturnal emisson. Some epic nose shots making your eyes water.

NO I think all the games judged for best of show are played by everyone that votes, and that goes for every category here. TitanFall was played and liked by majority of industry leaders, writers, developers and peers so your assumptions that this is a give away award is pretty ignorant of the facts.

I guess I didn't make my point clear. These awards are given to games that are sometimes not even close to their final state. It doesn't matter if it's playable or not. And the demo may not even be representative of the entire game. Metal Gear Solid 2 won several e3 awards, and I think most of us can all agree that the tanker level was not like the rest of the game.
