I was surprised by a few of the winners but a really good job to all those who managed to walk away with a win some titles were a surprise to see up there, but given that some of this years major titles have had some rocky release's it was not a surprise some of the house hold names did not make the cut.

Overall it was kept rather quiet this year i actually missed it had to watch it on Youtube always interesting to see who gets nominated and who walks away the winner I was happy to see The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt walk away with more than one win, but was just as disappointed to see Fallout 4 walk away empty handed.

Yea the The Witcher 3 gets a well deserved mention, I just think Fallout 4 was a bit late to the party to get something. :(
I've got to admit I have never played most of those games in that line up. :o

Rocket game seems to be very popular from what I have read. Hard to just stick it in one genre but I would class it more as a sport game then a racing game personally.
