E3 Critics Awards

Electronics Arts has all the reasons to celebrate since their game was the most appreciated at E3 Expo 2005. Aside from the Best of Show award, the game has also won three more.

E3 Critics Awards are granted by a jury made up of journalists and analysts from the gaming industry.

Sony's Playstation 3 didn't leave empty-handed and won Best Hardware/Peripheral
