PAX Prime is one of the final US games conventions and we had a team of boots on the ground. At the conclusion of PAX Prime, the team met to talk about their favorite games and compiled a 'best of' list for MMORPG.com. See which games took our top honors in Best of PAX Prime 2011.

SWTOR beat GW2 at PvP and WildStar beat GW2 at innovation? Really?! Other than that though, I agree.

Well they gave 1# in pvp for star wars just because it was the main focus of the game, while GW2 was more broad, still we had the pvp matches in GW2 between multiple teams in a ladder to go agaisnt arenanet....

They had to fit SW in there I suppose

I certainly hope Turbine doesn't let LoTRO's bright prospects in spite of its age go to their heads... Oh yeah, too late.

I really am looking forward to seeing how all of these games turn out. The MMO genre has a bright future yet with titles like GW2 and SWTOR on the horizon. Not to mention WildStar, which looks just screwed up enough to be genius. 

they can't give all the awards to the same game.

I realize that but PAX is only the second time we've seen any PvP from GW2 at all (the first time being a week ago at Gamescom) so I'd say GW2's presence was also very much about PvP. The above article only talks about GW2's PvE which is quite strange.

"Why hasn't this been done before?"

Because players want to be Luke Skywalker and not Unlce Owen? At least that seems to be what most of these F-tarded game companies believe these days anyway.

Glad to see LoTRO still on the list, and do believe we're fortunate to have such a variety of games coming down the pike.  Will they be as good as the hype - I surely hope so.

I think they decided to give some awards away from GW2 to keep variety

Hence the loosers rejoyce....

They just gave one award to every game to not offend any of the precious advertisers... Fraudulent business, those awards don't mean shit. Just a lure fore drones to click the page and increase the view count.

That what this is all about, have no illusions.

Relevance?

GW2 one BEST IN SHOW.  You know the top award.  So calm down that other games won some of the lesser awards. 

It is not all a fraudaluent conspircacy.  If you believe that why click on the article to increase the views to begin with?

I'd weep for the PvP award had GW2 not won Best of Show, but I guess awards had to be distributed fairly so that's alright.

"Best of Show" should have been shinier award.

Perhaps the spreading out of the awards is an indicator that the Great Game Drought is coming to an end. Since I wasn't there, just have to go off the impressions of somebody else. Much more likely to pay attention to Mr. Murphy then soom random internet dude, "SW;ToR was freaking wicked, it totally wrecked!".

At lot of titles to keep an eye on.  Was Firefall even at PAX this year?  I would have thought them a real contender for best PvP.

GW2 did not deserve "best in show" sad to say, they revealed absolutely nothing new and should not get an award just for showing up.

I also fail to see yet why TSW receives so much attention in claiming it is anticipated because I wouldn't notice if it got canceled personally. 

SWTOR developer said (on the video they posted recently) that the end game was primarily focused on running operations, which is PvE raiding.  I'm sure they showed off PvP, but not sure how that can be balanced between force using players and non-force using players. 

I won't even bother going into the list of reasons SWTOR didn't deserve the pvp award because it should be a no-brainer.
