Looking back on 2016, there were several games that absolutely garnered a lot of attention from the media and critics alike. One of those games was Blizzard Entertainment's Overwatch, the fantasy sci-fi hero shooter. The game ended up becoming a big winner at this year's DICE Awards that took place in Las Vegas, Nevada. Overwatch wasn't the only game that walked with multiple awards, though. Playdead's Inside managed to claim three awards at the show, which is impressive for the indie title. Finally, Uncharted 4 managed to also nab four awards, which seems to be a repeat of many of the other awards shows rounding out 2016, where Overwatch, Inside and Uncharted 4 managed to score many of the big wins for 2016. But don't worry, other player-favorite hits like Doom also made the cut, along with the uber-popular Pokemon Go. It's extremely disappointing that EA Sports UFC 2 didn't pick up a win for best sports or fighting game. By and far it was a lot more feature-rich than Street Fighter V, and far more of a technical achievement as far as gameplay refinement and playability is concerned when measured up to a game like Steep. Some people argued that the other sports games just weren't as much of a breakthrough in the genre as Ubisoft's Steep, but despite combining a bunch of extreme sports into one, it didn't really seem to be much more than a compilation of sorts. The physics and dynamic knockouts in EA Sports UFC 2 are still remarkable technical achievements in my book. But oh well, it is what it is.
