Anthem scores high with 5 Game Critics Awards nominations

The nominations for the Game Critics Awards are out and Electronic Arts and BioWare’s science fiction game Anthem is one of the big winners of best games of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). All told, Anthem had five nominations, including one for the prestigious “best of show.”

I was one of a few dozen judges again. The Game Critics Awards are organized by Geoff Keighley (who runs one of gaming’s biggest award shows), and they include game journalists as judges from numerous publications. For the “best of show,” I voted for Spider-Man, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Battlefield V, Rage 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. In the official tally, Activision and From Software’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice had four nominations, and a bunch of titles have three nominations.
