LEC eats up IGN awards 24 May, 2001 / Comments: 6

By Jake


IGN has posted its E3 Best of Show awards for PC and LucasArts pretty much ruled them all. Not bad for a pack of Star Wars games :).

On the PC front Star Wars: Galaxies won "Best PC Game of Show," "Best Online PC Game," and "Best PC Graphics." Also LEC's entire E3 2001 lineup won the "Biggest PC Suprise of Show" award.

LEC also had an impresive showing in the IGN Gamecube awards. Rogue Leader went home with "Best Gamecube Game" and "Best Gamecube Graphics." IgnPC said it pretty well with their comments for the "Biggest PC Suprise" award:

It's kind of a backhanded compliment, we suppose, but this really took everyone by surprise. In past years, Lucas has relied on the Star Wars license to sell games. Now they've finally decided to recruit the industry's top developers to help them out. Verant, Ensemble, Bioware, and Raven have all been brought on board to make this year's crop of Star Wars games better than even. And after last year's batch, that's a welcome change.

    JK2 looks amazing. I can't wait to buy this game when it comes out... and I wasn't even a fan of the first Jedi Knight or Dark Forces game.

    Hahaha, "Biggest PC Surprise" indeed; not seeing any adventures dropping by :) Oh well, I guess JK2 was an expectable surprise =]
