DICE 2017 Award Winners Announced
The annual DICE Awards for interactive entertainment have just wound up in Las Vegas for another year. There were no really big surprises during the show especially in the big categories (You could have bet your house on Overwatch winning game of the year) but as always it is nice to give some much-deserved recognition to those that have entertained us all during the year.
In addition to the usual awards, Todd Howard, Bethesda Mastermind behind the Fallout and Elder Scrolls franchises, was inducted into the DICE Hall of Fame. There can be no doubt he was a deserved entrant.
