Last night marked the second annual Game Awards show, produced and hosted by well-known gaming personality Geoff Keighley. The show is meant to be a celebration of video games, honoring this past year’s accomplishments in many different ways, be it the best of a genre, best developer, or best performance from an actor in a game. However, the show also brings about numerous world premieres for new games, so here’s a list of everything that was announced during The Game Awards 2015.

Mark is a student in Philadelphia currently working towards a B.S. in Information Science & Technology. Starting in 1998 with a hand-me-down PS1 and the demo for Spyro The Dragon (which he played COUNTLESS times), his love of gaming soon elevated when he borrowed Final Fantasy VII from a friend for the first time. Now he's an avid collector, a semi-expert trophy hunter, and an overall lover of video games. Favorite games are Final Fantasy VII (I know, deal with it), Metal Gear Solid 2, Resident Evil 4, Dark Souls, and Psychonauts, to name a few.
