The Game Awards have pretty much established themselves as the premier awards show for the games industry, and like each year, Geoff Keighley managed to put on quite the show. The show featured fantastic new World Premieres, along with updates to previously announced titles, and most importantly, awards.

The Game Awards celebrated what has been a fantastic year in gaming that saw many smaller studios compete with big AAA games for the coveted Game of the Year. Josef Fares and Hazelight Studios’ It Takes Two was a clear standout in the Game of the Year nominees, seeing it was the only co-op game in the category.
