Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor (almost) sweeps 2015 DICE Awards

With the 18th annual D.I.C.E. Awards having just concluded, the 2015 D.I.C.E. Summit has officially come to a close, and in case you didn't watch the live stream (or follow our Twitter feed), here's a rundown of who won which awards.

In the end, Monolith and Warner Bros walked away with the most awards for Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor (eight in total), but it was BioWare's incredible Dragon Age: Inquisition that earned the top honors as Game of the Year. Mordor had been winning so much during the night that an audible shock was actually heard throughout the audience as Dragon Age, not Mordor, was announced as the grand winner. Dragon Age also won for Role-Playing Game of the Year, and it's worth noting that Bungie's Destiny did snag 4 awards.
