Steam recently decided to get into the spirit of the awards season with its own unique set of prizes for some of the digital store’s best and brightest.
Imaginatively titled the Steam Awards, gamers were asked to vote for their favourite across a number of knowingly daft categories, including the coveted “Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!” Award.
Without further ado, I think we should get right into the winners, don’t you?
Villain Most In Need Of A Hug Award – Portal 2
I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award Award – Euro Truck Simulator 2
The Test of Time Award – Skyrim
The Just Five More Minutes Award – Counter Strike: Global Offensive
The “Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!” & Game Within a Game Awards – Grand Theft Auto V
The I’m Not Crying, There’s Something In My Eye Award – The Walking Dead
The Best Use Of A Farm Animal Award – Goat Simulator
The Boom Boom Award – DOOM
The Love/Hate Relationship Award – Dark Souls III
The Sit Back and Relax Award – Euro Truck Simulator 2
The Better With Friends Award – Left 4 Dead 2
It’s a strong lineup of winners, to be sure. If you fancy checking out the runners up who came oh-so close to bagging the coveted awards, you can head over to the official page.
