PC Gamer UK Judges E3
June 8, 2006
Winner - Best Online Game
"Frighteningly good for a game that's already been cancelled once. Compared to WoW, it looks sexier, and has intelligently designed multi-level quests, which stretch from personal journeys to massive, world-scaling battles." - July 2006 Issue
Winner - Editor's Choice Award "If you're tired of hearing comparisons to World of Warcraft, join the club, but Warhammer Online looks just like Warhammer (and, dare we say it, so does that other game - not the other way around). All in all, we got a lot more than we bargained for Mythic's Warhammer Online team, and really like the direction the game's taking."
Winner - Best Massively Multiplayer Game "Using the storied Warhammer fantasy universe as its premise, Mythic is looking to lure away World of WarCraft fans in 2007."
GameSpot E3 2006 Editor's Choice Awards
May 22, 2006
Winner - Best Stage Demo "...we guarantee that you'll have a new (or rejuvenated) interest in Age of Reckoning after catching a glimpse of their infectious enthusiasm about the game."
Game Daily Nod "There isn't much more MMO and Warhammer fans could want..."
MMORPG.com E3 2006 Best of Show
May 19, 2006
Winner - Best Use of a License "For fans of this rich intellectual property, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning seems well on its way to delivering a true experience that will make Games Workshop proud."
Honorable Mention - Game of the Show
"If this game wasn't so early, it probably could have taken home the hardware ... this game should have an inside track on this award in a year's time."
