The Game Awards 2014 were on last night and many of the year’s best games were rewarded kindly.
The Game Awards 2014 was a big improvement over the train-wreck that was VGX last year. The event felt and looked professional as it didn’t make the audience feel dumb. Not to mention that annoying Joel McHale was nowhere in sight.
The Game Awards could be considered be to a successful night for Nintendo. Not only did they reveal a lot of world premieres, but a lot of their best 2014 games won big awards. Nintendo was also awarded for “Developer of the Year” too.
The Game Awards 2014 was also a year that the most hyped games of 2014 were snubbed from the big awards. Games like Titanfall and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare came out with nothing. Watch Dogs wasn’t even nominated at all.
