The awards are the the largest publicly-voted video game awards in the world, with over 10 million casting votes for this year's awards.
A new addition to the ceremony is the Lifetime Achievement award, which was presented to Ken Levine (BioShock). "The great thing about the still-maturing nature of video games is you get to be inspired by the work of novices and veterans alike," he said.
"We're all figuring out day by day exactly what the medium is capable of."
