is, simply put, what makes games fun. You can have incredible graphics, and awesome content, but if the gameplay isn't fun there is little point in playing.

Deciding on a game with the best gameplay of E3 this year was another category that gave us a few choices. What makes for a fun game? Is it action-based real-time combat? Character development? Incorporation of story and lore?

Is it something that would be fun to play solo, as well as with a group? All of these things weighed heavily on our minds as we reviewed all the fun games we played at E3.

In the end it came down to robust customization, adrenaline-rushed combat, and thoughtful environmental design.

The Ten Ton Hammer Best Gameplay of E2 2010 Award goes to none other than...



DC UNIVERSE ONLINE
(Sony Online Entertainment)

Runner Up:

TERA (Bluehole Studio & En Masse Entertainment)
We've been waiting for an MMOG that plays as well on a controller as it does on a keyboard and mouse, because until that happens, we won't believe in a console MMOG (with all apologies to Final Fantasy XI).  DCUO has us believing - finally a smooth, intuitive control scheme for flying and fighting that's tailored to your preferences, whether you game primarily with your thumbs or your fingertips. Add important gameplay tweaks like a revision of the much maligned death penalty (or lack thereof) and a good or evil choice at the start of the game, and DC Universe Online is our pick for best gameplay at E3 2010.
