I'm Not Actually at E3: Best Coverage Award

Although E3 isn't over yet, it has slowed down enough that one could start giving out awards. The first goes to a website, not a developer.

I've been surfing to find the best out there. 1up did a great job, especially when you add their podcast to the mix, which was updated everyday (it normally is a wii-kly podcast).
Gamespy and IGN really didn't do much. Some major stories broke on IGN, but they were very slow this year. Conference coverage was decent enough, with real-time updates, but the main E3 show was only updated once a day.
Gamespot was much the same, only that they had all their news shoved to the side, where one couldn't really surf through. Streaming video of the conferences were great, but it didn't really do much with the main show, at least on anything outside the news section.

Then there were the bloggers. Two rose to the top, with regular, frequent updates, was Joystiq and Kotaku. Both had great commentary, and some exclusives.
However, being there are no ties in awards, this would have to go to:


Kotaku


They broke the news on Halo 3 (via an Bungie employee accidently wearing a Halo 3 shirt). More over, Kotaku had plenty of YouTube videos, including a series called "Justify Your Game," as reps had to justify the games existance in 15 seconds.
Good job to Kotaku. Big name websites: look at these guys for what you need to be doing next year.
