HAWKEN destroys E3 competition, targets Gamescom and Comic-Con next

At last month’s E3, it’d be fair to say that HAWKEN went from small-time to carrying the unenviable load of post-conference hype on its shoulders, turning many heads in the process.

Nominated for an impressive 20 awards at E3, HAWKEN racked up 10 wins and 3 Honorable Mentions.

The stunning list of accolades includes:

Destructoid’s Best of PC
GameTrailers’ Best Free to Play
GameTrailers’ Best Online Only
Polygon’s E3 Editor’s Choice Award
Awesome Robo’s E3 2012 Best Overall Title – “One of the most jaw dropping games we played at E3 this year.”
GamingIrresponsibly’s Best of Indie
Examiner.com’s Best PvP (Multiplayer) – “The most anticipated game this year.”
Video Game Writers’ Best of PC
Sidequesting’s Best of E3 Editor’s Choice Awards
GamerLive.TV’s Top 5 PC Games – “Hawken has become a blockbuster game of 2012…”
