In the realm of interactive entertainment, the yearly D.I.C.E. Awards stand as a beacon of recognition for the most outstanding achievements in video games. Tomorrow, on February 15, 2024, at 8pm PT/11pm ET, the 27th edition of this prestigious event will grace the stage in Las Vegas, celebrating the cream of the crop from the past year. Stella Chung of IGN and Greg Miller, CEO of Kinda Funny, will be your guides through this enchanting journey, as they co-host the night's festivities.


An Epic Battle for the Crown​

A total of 56 titles have earned the distinction of being nominated for this year's D.I.C.E. Awards, representing a diverse range of genres, platforms, and artistic visions. Among these esteemed contenders, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has emerged as the frontrunner, securing an impressive nine nominations. The web-slinging adventure will face stiff competition from the likes of Alan Wake 2 and Baldur's Gate 3, both of which have garnered multiple nods in various categories.

Game of the Year: A Clash of Titans​


The most coveted prize of the night, the Game of the Year award, will see five formidable contenders vie for the ultimate accolade. Alan Wake 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Cocoon, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom have all been deemed worthy of this highest honor, leaving the gaming community on tenterhooks as they await the final verdict.

A Legendary Composer Joins the Pantheon​

In addition to celebrating the triumphs of recent releases, the D.I.C.E. Awards will also shine a spotlight on the indelible contributions of one of the industry's most revered figures. Koji Kondo, the legendary composer and sound director behind such iconic franchises as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Star Fox, will be inducted into the D.I.C.E. Hall of Fame. During his storied career at Nintendo, Kondo has crafted some of the most memorable and enduring melodies in gaming history, earning him a place among the pantheon of industry greats.

For those unable to attend the ceremony in person, fear not, for the D.I.C.E. Awards will be livestreamed across various platforms, courtesy of IGN, the official media sponsor.

Best Reviewed Games of 2023​

83 games received a review score of 8 or higher from IGN in 2023, including <em>five</em> games we awarded 10s. Click through the gallery for our final list of the best-reviewed games of 2023.

<h3>Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp</h3><b>Review score: 8</b><br><br><b>From our review:</b> With nicely redone graphics and excellent music bringing the classic turn-based tactical action up to modern standards, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a great return for this long-neglected series and gives me hope for a follow-up that includes the DS games. While there isn’t much variety in the game modes, Advance Wars’ depth comes from the number of variables you can adjust to make every match feel unique. The biggest miss is the lack of multiplayer matchmaking, which makes it harder to get into a game than it ought to be in 2023, but at least you can play online. Playing against the AI will keep me interested in the short term, but I predict the inability to play against random opponents online will limit my spontaneous play sessions. However, the sheer number of maps, playable COs, and options for each match means that when I do, it's sure to be a unique experience. – Jada Griffin

<h3>Age of Wonders 4</h3><b>Review score: 8</b><br><br><b>From our review:</b> As much as I enjoy building a legacy in a 4X game before starting over to do it all again, the fact that my legacy follows me in Age of Wonders 4 feels much more rewarding. And the faster pace of its very strong campaign mechanics and pretty good tactical battles make it feel like I can write a new chapter of this saga in a reasonable amount of time and still have time to do something else on my day off – especially with the very well-done story realms. Cranking all the dials up to maximum weirdness can lead to some edge cases that ruined my fun a bit, but it's not that big of a price to pay for the vast map and empire customization we get to play with. It really is wonderful. – Leana Hafer
<h3>Amnesia: The Bunker</h3><b>Review score: 8</b><br><br><b>From our review:</b> I can't say Amnesia is still a groundbreaking horror franchise like it was at the beginning. The larger story it was building has already been played out with Rebirth. But Amnesia: The Bunker proves that smaller, anthology-style episodes within its universe can still bring the tension and the scares. And Frictional's bag of tricks is far from exhausted when it comes to getting our hearts pounding and making us carefully consider how to use the limited tools available to us. It's not an unmissable experience, but as an Amnesia fan, it definitely sated my appetite for some gut-churning horror and moody, bleak storytelling. – Leana Hafer
<h3>Arizona Sunshine 2</h3><b>Review score: 8</b><br><br><b>From our review:</b> Time and time again, Arizona Sunshine 2 expertly ramps up the pressure of oncoming hordes of zombies and then rewards you with spectacular gore when your bullets and hatchets connect with rotten faces. Its VR shooting and relatively complex reloading mean you always have to be on your toes and thinking about how many bullets are left in your guns as you blast your way through a lengthy, occasionally poignant story about a man and his new four-legged best buddy. The variety of enemy types is pretty limited for a 15-plus-hour game, but there’s enough light puzzle-solving and climbing mixed in to keep it moving along, and the physics glitches provide as much humor as the one-liners and co-op antics. – Dan Stapleton
<h3>Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon</h3><b>Review score: 8</b><br><br><b>From our review:</b> Armored Core 6 doesn’t look to reinvent the bipedal legs of the mech action genre, but it does update, refine, and polish them to an aggressive shine. Every sortie is a satisfying combat puzzle to solve thanks to fantastic mission design, intense boss encounters, an extremely wide assortment of weapons and parts that can dramatically affect how your mech plays, and excellent, explosive combat that manages to take very complex systems and mechanics and make them easy to understand and execute. Its interesting premise is stifled by bland storytelling told through mission briefings and radio chatter, but this is still nonetheless a welcome return of a classic mecha series.  – Mitchell Saltzman
