**E3**
Half-Life 2 definately deserved all the awards it got. I think that game is bringing the gaming industry into a whole new era of realism and entertainment. Its almost diabolical how they have allowed the player to see the expressions of emotions on thier teammates/enemie's faces. The AI will surpass anything previously done and the kenetics/physics engine is going to set a new standard for every game made afterwards.
**NOX**
It didn't have massive PR to really boost its popularity, nor did it have a previous title that gave it any infamy.
Take the C&C series and almost every C&C game since the original has sold well because players expect a certain style of gameplay.. and they get it.
With Nox it was brand new to the market, similar to some games, but it had to build a relationship with the community and not enough people were exposed.
I loved the game and I wish EA would release something similar, perhaps under a different name and give it as much attention as possible.
