Creatively and critically speaking, the market has rarely been stronger. Any review of the creative year in PC gaming should start with the tally from the E3 Game Critics Awards nominations. Two PC games nominated for Game of Show (compared to one Xbox 360 game); the PC's Spore nominated for Best Original Game (not a single 360 game was nominated in this category); three PC titles nominated for Best RPG (compared to one 360 title, which was Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, a PC co-launch); and PC games taking all five of the Best Strategy Game nominations. PC games took four of the five nominations for Best Online Multiplayer Game at this year's E3, while not a single Xbox 360 game made the cut in this category.
