E3 2011 Game Critic Awards: Bioshock Destroys Everyone

I would like to direct to you one of my earlier news stories. "My Top Picks For Game Of Show at E3" Now I'm not saying I am psychic  here or some kind of God (Although I will settle for God) Number one on my list was indeed Bioshock Infinate. Critics also seem to agree with God.. Sorry I mean me, as the game won every single category it was in at the E3 Game Critic Awards. Deservedly so? Probably.
