SIE Santa Monica's spellbinding take on God of War was an early and undeniable contender for many game of the year lists, and it was also a big winner at this year's Golden Joystick Awards. God of War took home four Joysticks at today's award ceremony, winning Best Storytelling, Best Visual Design, Best Audio, and Best PlayStation Game. Not only that, SIE Santa Monica itself also won Studio of the Year, putting their total Joystick haul to five. Santa Monica's development team wasn't able to attend to accept their Joysticks, but a brief acceptance video from director Cory Barlog was played on stage.

And they really are well-deserved: as our own Leon Hurley said in his review, "I don't think it's possible to overstate just how good this is."

The 25 Best Horror Games On PC
1 of 27 To compile a list of the 25 best horror games on PC is to look into the void for so long that the void not only starts to look back, but shakes you by the hand and takes you out for coffee. It is to fight with monsters until you become a monster and then go on a European railtrip with the other monsters, and really bond over cocktails in Saint-Tropez.
