Evolve takes four honors from the Game Critics Awards for E3

2014 may be the year for Evolve.

The Game Critics Awards: Best of E3 winners came out today, as voted on by 29 publications, including yours truly at GamesBeat. The clear victor is Evolve, the 4-versus-1 multiplayer game where four human hunters track and kill a single player-controlled monster. It’s from the makers of Left 4 Dead and is a new twist on cooperative, asymmetrical multiplayer. It looks gorgeous on the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. And all of this is why I voted for it.
