<p>The 27th annual D.I.C.E. Awards took place yesterday. While it doesn’t have the mainstream flashiness of the Game Awards, D.I.C.E. is a more industry-focused (and arguably more prestigious) event that honors the best games and creators of the last year. It is hosted and judged by the Academy of Interactive Arts &amp; Sciences (AIAS) along with votes from over 30,000 industry experts, developers, and studios.&nbsp;</p>
