Here’s to another great year

The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences held the 20th annual D.I.C.E. Awards last night in Las Vegas, andunlike last year, the game of the year selection isn’t bound to shock. It wasOverwatch!

Other highlights includeUncharted 4: A Thief’s EndandInside, both of which also took home multiple awards, and both of which are also generally thought of as excellent games. Even though it’s only February, I feel like I’m already so far into 2017, so it’s nice to take a moment to reflect on last year.
