This year's motto was All about the games where we got rid of the platform restriction and just voted on the games without any categorization.
I want to give context to the following awards: They are done mostly by people that are hands-off and are not attending E3.
Disclaimer: I've tried to come up with the categories before I counted the ballots to reduce my personal bias.
1269 ballots were counted and 160 different games were mentioned.
