And the winner is … gamers! Well, that’s the conclusion we came to after witnessing the sheer amount of top-notch games trotted out at this year’s E3. While we’re finalizing the official Joystiq E3 2008 Awards (coming soon - there was a lot of blood confetti to clean up in the judge’s room) we’d like to offer, for your list-reading pleasure, IGN’s picks for the Best of Show in various categories.

You can read the entire list after the break. Let us hear what you think of their choices in the comments, and, for nostalgia’s sake, check out our award winners (and losers) from last E3.
