As was the case last year, The Game Awards 2015 proved a well-intentioned event, with a handful of decent reveals and some pleasant little featurettes. Credit must go to Geoff Keighley, who's managed to transform this show from a cringe-fest on Spike TV into something that gamers can generally be relatively satisfied with. Of course, if you couldn't stay up until the small hours of the morning to watch it, then we've compiled all of the headlines for you to peruse below.

Can't wait for Batman!
@Melucine Yeah, fingers crossed for that, lots of potential. Let's hope that Telltale Games bring their A-game.
It had a really strong start with Uncharted 4, Batman & Psychonauts 2 but i feel like the reveals went downhill after that. Really looking forward to PSX this Friday. I'm lining up around 3:30 in the morning so i can make it into the keynote. Maybe earlier
Felt a little underwhelming but better than last year as a whole. None of the unleaked reveals did anything for me, especially since I am not a huge fan of Telltale games. I expect psx to be a much better affair, and probably having the awards so close to psx hurts it a little in terms of content. Still, glad it is continuing and happy to see the progress Keighley has made. Oh yea almost forgot, screw Konami.
Batman will be my Telltale cherry pop
Ok, I have a serious bone to pick with the Handheld winner.
How is Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate NOT the winner? Instead they give it to Lara Croft Go? Is this a joke? That's like saying Witcher 3 isn't GotY because we're giving the award to Solitaire 2016 on PC. THIS HAS TO BE A JOKE.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate isn't just the best handheld game of 2015, it's one of the best GAMES of 2015, perhaps even a contender for best game of the generation on any platform. That's how good it is. Yet they shove it over to the back burner in favor of some smartphone game with microtransactions? Have these people even PLAYED the games they're voting for?
@Bliquid
In a world as big as we live, there will always be some who dislike any game, and even system. But I'd wager there are very few who dislike the 3DS to the extend you do. In fact, most people play on it just fine, myself included.
Point being you are the very ultra rare exception rather than the rule. Many gamers grew up playing games with far worse graphics than the 3DS, which in comparison looks as good if not better than most games up to the 6th generation (helped by the smaller screen too of course).
Which brings me to a conclusive point- games should be judged by those who can appreciate the genre and who hold no prejudice against the game for any reason (be it graphics, hardware, etc).
EDIT*** And in the case of the game awards, it would help if they actually played the game too.
@JaxonH I thought for sure Konami's Pachinko games would take GOTY... shifty eyes
