Amidst all of the hoohah last night at The Game Awards, with Death Stranding and Mass Effect: Andromeda trailers dropping, it might be easy to forget the human element of making and rewarding video games. That all was put into perspective at one very pivotal moment last night. That Dragon, Cancer is a docu-game created by a[...]

We just got a look at The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild as promised straight from the Game Awards. The trailer shows a lot more diversity in environments here, which is something that has been missing in most footage so far There hints at a bigger world, and a look at a few more[...]

The Game Awards certainly are growing in popularity, and it seems that video games finally have their big, largely recognised game awards that appeal to audiences now. The viewership certainly backs that up anyways Host Geoff Keighley told Polygon that the show saw 2.3 million viewers this year, which is a 20% bump from last year[...]

On top of hosting a rather elaborate Kinda Funny Live, sharing a stage with GameSpot at E3 and garnering a dedicated audience, last night he topped it all off with winning the fan voted Trending Gamer award at The Game Awards.* I only point this out specifically though because he gave a poignant speech that I[...]

It's Game of the Year time (updates on ours coming soon), and as it was with last year, that starts with The Game Awards The biggest ceremony the medium has, it's a place many look forward to, granted even if it is for the reveals rather than the actual process of awarding accolades. If you plan[...]

Geoff Keighley has had several attempts at getting game awards right, but I think he really did his best work last year with the first independent The Game Awards Gone was the excess of Spike TV and TV scheduling, and instead we got a well thought out show that actually provided major surprises too. That is[...]

The Game Awards last year were a great start I often talk about my admiration for great award ceremonies, especially within video games, so Geoff Keighley's new adventure was particularly pleasing It obviously wasn't perfect what with excessive adverts and near three hour run time being a pretty big hurdle Regardless though, it's a solid[...]

By Dan Celko and Jeremy Konrad The Dedicated Server is a YouTube news show here to keep you informed about gaming, talk about the implications for related

I was quite pleased with The Game Awards this past weekend It was excruciatingly long and certainly overdid it with the adverts, but I suppose that was inevitable with Spike TV being out of the picture Besides that though, it was a solid showing and Geoff Keighley has a solid platform to build upon in[...]
