The Actual Game Awards

With most of the announcements from The Game Awards covered, it's time for the afterthought of who actually won last night. The big winner is PlayStation exclusive Astro Bot, which took home Keighleys for Game of the Year, Best Game Direction, Best Action/Adventure Game, and Best Family Game. As always, the overwrought official website is perhaps the worst place to look for an easily digested rundown of recipients. So for the following list of winners we borrowed from Reddit:
