Sélection E3 2005 : il va y'avoir du Spore

Comme chaque année, un panel de journalistes totaux s'est attribuée la lourde tâche de sélectionner les meilleurs jeux de l'E3. Comme chaque année, la sélection est incompréhensible.

Exemple dans la sélection des meilleurs jeux originaux, où Fahrenheit concourt avec Shadow of the Colossus et Spore. Plus fort encore, Star Wars : Battlefront 2 se retrouve dans la catégorie Best Online Multiplayer Game. Carrément surréaliste, la Gizmondo est cité dans Best Hardware/Peripheral, à coté d'un player de vidéo nommé Playstation 3. A fond dans la déconne.

Bref. On remarquera que c'est Spore, le prochain Will Right, qui récolte le plus de sélections, et que ... et merde, comment voulez-vous analyser serieusement un truc comme ça ?
