The Game Awards Were Kinda Good This Year
The Game Awards, aka Geoff Keighley’s annual winter E3 trailer-extravaganza (with some awards shoved in between the ads), has been going on for a decade now, which makes me feel really old. And to his credit, the show has gotten better over time.And this year’s event was easily its best yet.
That was thanks to a nice mix of big and small trailers, some genuniely wonderful moments involving real people, and a sequence in which two crotchety Muppets yelled at Geoff for a few minutes. Yes, the show is still too long and the awards are still not given enough of a spotlight. But by the end of 2024’s show, I wasn’t completely bored and angry. I was just slightly bored, somewhat entertained, and a little annoyed. That’s progress! Hopefully The Game Awards in 2025 are just as good, if not better.
