Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End claimed 40% of the total votes and stole most of the platinum awards. Uncharted came in on top for game of the year, best story, best performance with Nolan North taking platinum and Emily Rose taking silver, best soundtrack, and best visuals. But Uncharted didn’t stop there; they also won the gold for best post release game content. With six awards just with one game, it’s no wonder they took the platinum for studio of the year.

In a schoolroom located just off the coast of Puget Sound sat a frustrated little first grader named Tatiana. The source of her frustration was the assignment that lay untouched in front of her. It wasn't math or science that plagued the poor child, but the existence of a large circle on an otherwise empty page. The assignment was to write a story using her newly learned vocabulary words. But instead of just writing whatever came to mind, Tatiana was forced to outline her story using a bubble graph. In irritation she asked her teacher if she could just write the story and then do the outline but the teacher insisted on having the outline first because, "That's how real authors do it." This sparked a rebellion inside Tatiana. She was going to write a story without the stupid little bubble graph and publish it just to prove her teacher wrong. Little did she know that her silent declaration would become her lifelong passion.
