Over two weeks after the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo ended, the 46,500-person convention continues to make headlines. Today, the Game Critics Awards: Best of E3 2010 nominees were announced, with id Software's Rage leading the pack with five nominations, including Best of Show, Best Original Game, Best Console Game, Best PC game, and best Action game. Though it has no firm release date, the postapocalyptic action and car combat game will be published by Bethesda Softworks simultaneously on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and Mac.

　　This guy is excited about Rage getting five Game Critics: Best of E3 2010 nominations.

　　Also lauded by the Game Critics' judges, which includes editors from 31 media outlets including GameSpot, was Epic Mickey. The Wii-exclusive new take on Disney's iconic rodent was nominated in four categories, including Best of Show, Best Action/Adventure Game, Best Original Game, and Best Console Game.

　　Portal 2 also racked up a quartet of nods from the jury following the shock announcement that the dimension-hopping action platformer--previously announced for the PC and Xbox 360--is coming to the PS3 in early 2011. Also racking up four nominations was Dance Central, the upcoming Xbox 360-exclusive dancing game, which uses the Kinect motion-sensing system.

　　A full list of the Game Critics: Best of E3 2010 is below, and the winners will be revealed on Tuesday, July 6. GameSpot just announced its own individual Best of E3 2010 Winners, viewable in the video below.
