I’m not sure if it’s the best game in the universe as the people living in the Centaurus A had some pretty good titles this year. I think we can all remember how great the Shmeckle Box exclusive Morbulon Alpha 3 was.

More than 3.5 million public votes were cast to determine the winners

Anyways, the 37th Golden Joystick Awards happened and it sure was a thing. The winners were announced today at the award ceremony held at London’s Bloomsbury Big Top and live streamed on Twitch and YouTube.

More than 3.5 million public votes were cast to determine the winners in 19 categories, including Ultimate Game of the Year, Most Wanted Game and PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Games of the Year.

Resident Evil 2 won ‘Ultimate Game of the Universe’ for some reason. Sure, it’s a meaningless award, and I love me some RE2, but best game in the universe? I’m, not so sure about that. Anyways, if you’re interested in the games that won big you can see all the winners below:
