Nintendo takes home three Game Awards for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. BotW, Cuphead, and Hellblade: Sensua's Sacrifice each won three awards this year. Meanwhile, Overwatch showed it's still rolling strong, taking home Best Ongoing Game and Best Esports Game.

Carol Shaw was also honored with an Industry Icon Award. She was recognized for her trailblazing work as one of the first female game designers, going all the way to her time at Atari and Activision in the early 1980s.

The Game Awards also featured a multitude of new game announcements. To catch up with anything you might have missed, be sure to check out our full Game Awards coverage.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
