The Game Awards Archives

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 are tonight, and with that always comes some pretty big reveals We are expecting some pretty big ones this year too.

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[...]

The Game Awards have now flown us by and the first GotY givings has put its flag in the sand. The Witcher 3 won big, walking away with Game of the Year award and Best Roleplaying Game, while CD Projekt Red won best developer Rocket League also walked away with two awards in Best Indie and[...]

If you plan[...]

Announcements about who and what will be at the Game Awards on Thursday are coming thick and fast now, so what about another for the pile? Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has confirmed he will be at the show, and it looks like he will be announcing a new character for X In a tweet, Boon[...]

Oculus have made multiple public appearances continually, yet the closest we are to knowing anything is a vague 'early 2016' window. Well, Oculus will be at the Game Awards on Thursday with CEO Palmer Luckey in attendance And not only that, they will be making a 'special announcement' You can see reference to that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58L2Ov5rnwgVideo can't be[...]

Among the list of nominees are Fallout 4, Super Mario Maker, Metal Gear Solid V, and many more The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt leads the way though[...]

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[...]
