With little ol' AusGamers (hey, that's us!) included in the 64 judging publications that were corralled into nominating the Best of E3 2019 as part of the Game Critics Awards. It's worth noting that to be eligible the game needed to be playable, with at least 5 minutes of hands-on time. Hit the jump for the full list.

So yeah, this means no Cyberpunk 2077 (CD PROJEKT RED) or Dying Light 2 (Techland) across the main categories.
