After two hours of really atrocious jokes par for the course for every award ceremony (besides the one hinting to a hot night with Hironobu Sakaguchi. That one was funny), there finally is a winner.

Dealspwn writes: Get wang! Yeah, we're never going to tire of those jokes with Shadow Warrior. And when we can see discounts down to £15 on PS4 and Xbox One, why would we. Shadow Warrior is an old school FPS, that relishes in retro mechanics. It says 'pish' to regenerating health in favour of guns that are slightly awkward to aim and basic visuals. On the plus side it gives you a ruddy big sword to hack enemies to kibble with and the humour is great compared with all the po-faced modern day shooters.

OX: "Shadow of Mordor DLC The Bright Lord lets you play as Celebrimbor, the ring-making elf ghost sidekick from the main game, thousands of years before the events of Shadow of Mordor. So what did Celebrimbor get up to back then? Mostly branding Uruk warchiefs, rubbish attempts at stealth and getting his head cut off, if our let's play is anything to go by."

At the Narrative Summit during this year's Game Developer's Conference, there was some buzz on the first day of the show about cinematic storytelling. Monolith's Ethan Walker, the lead for cinematics on Shadow of Mordor, spoke about the challenges showing wraith Celebrimbor and undead Ranger Talion's unique relationship outside of gameplay. Additionally, in the Art Direction track, Robh Ruppel of Naughty Dog gave examples from films for compositional choices for great concept art, highlighting Blade Runner's influence. However, it was Fiction Control's Matthew Weise's talk about cinematic games that was most telling.
