Since there is a wide variety of games under genre such as fighting, action/adventure, multiplayer and so on, the 'Game Awards' were established to determine which game is the best in each individual category.

The Game Awards is a yearly award ceremony which greatly respects the achievements in the video game industry. The Game Award was founded by a popular game journalist Geoff Keighley (director and producer) in 2014, who worked on its predecessor, the Spike Video Game Awards, for over ten years. The people who select the games for these events are usually representatives from renounced hardware manufacturers like Microsoft, AMD, Nintendo, Sony, along with several other game publishers.

The games which are released before a certain date in November are eligible for being nominated in that year’s award and the games which are released after the November deadline are to be nominated for next year’s game award ceremony. There are a lot of categories under which a game can be awarded. Some of these include 'Game of the Year', 'Best Mobile Game', 'Best Action Game', 'Best Multiplayer Game' and 'Best Ongoing Game'.

Game of the Year is the most prestigious award a game can achieve. The winner is determined by voting which is given by a panel of selected jurors (90% of the total vote) and the public (10% of the total vote). In 2018, 'God of War 4', a game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, won the Game of the Year award, due to an astounding review by the gaming community. As a result, millions were excited when Santa Monica Studio announced 'God of War 5'. As the prequel is one of their best works, gamers were determined of how the developers might improve what was known to be the best game out there. The developers improved the action in 'God of War 5' which made the game even more exciting.

In my opinion, The Game Awards is the best way to appreciate the game developers, who burned the midnight oil to create such a promising franchise, and to also keep others motivated to achieve such feat for their own firm. It is a great way to introduce and to further improve a game with optimized user experience.

Even if some people know the damaging effects of sugars and tries to consume sugar in a controlled way, many people consume a lot of sugar hidden in processed foods without even realizing.
