Before The Game Awards started in 2014, Keighley also helped put on the Spike Game Awards on SpikeTV up until 2012 when television channels were replaced by Youtube and later Twitch. Let’s look at the last 10 Game of the Year winners for The Game Awards/Spike Game Awards, ran
An indie 2D puzzle-platformer standing next to giants as one of the best PlayStation 4 games to be released should let you know up front just how good Celeste is. Not only does it offer rewarding escalating challenges, but it delivers an emotionally relatable story of someone trying to deal with their mental hea
The Uncharted series by Naughty Dog has always released to great reviews and is beloved by the PlayStation audience, but it always seems to have the misfortune of releasing the same year as another astounding video game experience sees the light of
Far Cry 3 introduced the world to one of the best villain performances ever. Insanity has never looked so good. Michael Mondo, the actor who portrayed Vaas, deserves an Oscar for the way he would change tones and start contradicting himself resulting in violent raging outbursts. This made his character feel so lifelike and real, and it made encounters extremely exciting. He really does appear to be a true Hollywood villain from a nightmare vacation to hell. Vaas Montenegro did not care for any living person, his life, or anything. It seems the only thing that mattered to him was pirate life and messing with other’s minds. The man is nothing but insane, and he prides himself on it. He will ask the definition of insanity, as if he’s not insane, all while sinking a man to the bottom of the sea with a cinder block tied to his f
Bill Williamson is very proud of his military service, he is not so proud, however, of being dishonorably discharged for deviancy and attempted murder. Williamson is a man that is constantly trying to prove himself, which often leads to mistakes and bloodshed. For example, Bill’s meeting with Sheriff Gray of Rhodes leads to an ambush and the unfortunate death of Sean Macquire. The final straw is when Bill sides with Dutch and Micah over Arthur and John knowing full well that Micah is the rat. He was dishonorably discharged from the military and had a dishonorable exit from the Van Der Linde g
Arthur Morgan was supposed to leave the gang after his last heist and run away with Mary, but the ship was destroyed and he ended up stranded on Guarma instead. The question we all have is about why he didn’t go after Mary when he came back h
By the time the gang reaches Clemens Point, Arthur and John’s relationship is a little better. While Arthur shows more respect for John, he still talks down to him and calls him an idiot. That is, until Jack is taken by the Braithwaites and given to Angelo Bronte. Arthur suddenly finds himself much more sympathetic towards John, and he tries to comfort him amidst the stressful situation. Once Jack is safely returned, Arthur praises John for his handling of the situation and starts treating him with more respect and admirat
Mass Effect gave to gamers one of the wildest fights for survival seen thus far in the form of the war against robotic behemoths named The Reapers. Beyond the Reapers, though, was The Illusive Man. Almost a Keyser Soze like figure, The Illusive Man heads the renegade group Cerberus, who the game’s protagonist, Commander Shephard, is actively fighting against most of the game. What really sets The Illusive Man apart, though, is what he does when he finds a beaten and battered Commander Shephard in space. He revives him and sets him free again. As interesting as he is puzzling, The Illusive Man lives up to his n
A bottle can consume a person, and that is exactly where Karen Jones’s story leads. Karen starts off a productive member of the gang even taking the lead on a bank robbery but soon falls deep into depression. Following the death of a Sean Macquire, Karen spends the rest of her days drinking. She may have once been an honorable person, but has given up entirely. Tilly Jackson even suggests to John long after the gang breaks up that Karen possibly drank herself to de
In 2018 Sony Santa Monica was met with the pressure of not only meeting fan expectations, but they carried the burden of trying to soft-reboot one of gaming’s most well-known franchises into something more meaning
Dragon Age: Inquisition , once lauded for its an interesting blend of turn-based and active combat, has become victim to the linked internet page‘s revisionist history. As of 2019 many industry critics and fans look back on the 3rd entry in the Dragon Age series as a subpar game that won simply due to lack of competit
Arthur was raised by Dutch and Hosea when he was fifteen, so who taught him how to draw? It can be assumed Hosea taught him to write if he hadn’t known how to already, but no one in his life was artistically incli
GLaDOS of the Portal series definitely stands out from the other characters on this list in that it is not even human. GLaDOS is the central core of the Aperture Science computer-aided Enrichment Center. What makes this villain so great is that she doesn’t appear to be a living entity at first, as she initially sounds like prerecorded messages. In a crazy revelation, the main character realizes this is not the case, and the player has to survive and escape GLaDOS’s death traps. An unexpected reveal and very interesting dialogue make this character one of the more memorable Antagonists in all of gam
