Game Critics announce 'Best of E3 2012' nominees

BERJAYA5 hours ago - 12:30 PM on 06.20.2012   |   Jim Sterling


Every year, judges selected from a variety of outlets (including Destructoid) are asked to vote for their favorite games shown at E3. The nominations are in and you can probably guess who made the cut for the "best in show" top prize. 

Assassin's Creed IIIDishonored and Halo 4 top a list notable for its lack of surprises. In any case, the complete ignorance of Dragon Commander in any of the nominations is enough for me to throw a glass at the wall and stomp off angrily. 

Oh well. Feel free to look at what the GARMES JARNALISTS decided where the best games of E3. The winners will be revealed on June 26.

It appears that after official confirmation from Blizzard community manager Bashiok, Canadian Diablo player Kripparian (with assistance from Krippi) is the first person to complete Inferno Mode on Hardcore in Diablo III. What that means (for people who aren't fans of Diablo) is that he not only beat the hardest difficulty in the game, but he did it with a max level Hardcore character, which is deleted instantly after just one death.

Kripp's Barbarian comes close to death a number of times in the above video, making it fairly entertaining to watch. Although I have a number of high level characters non-Hardcore, my HC Barb is only 25 at the moment, so this video is really inspiring me to get back to it.

I've been following Kripp since the game launched, and have learned a lot from him. Congrats man! If you do play Diablo III and are interested in trying out his build, you can find it here.
