New Mass Effect, Perfect Dark, and Other Trailers You Missed Last Night

The Video Game Awards aired last night. There were winners and losers. The London Philharmonic teased us with excellent renditions of this year’s killer games soundtracks. Eddie Vedder played a song from The Last of Us 2. Keanu Reeves lifted our spirits. And there were trailers for all the big video games coming out in the next few years.

Here’s what you missed last night if you didn’t watch.

Perfect Dark

Perfect Dark was the James Bondless follow up to GoldenEye. It doesn’t have quite the same cultural cache, but it is beloved. Microsoft is working on a follow up.

Ark 2 with Vin Diesel

Ark: Survival Evolved is a game where you scrape together resources to survive on a mysterious island full of dinosaurs. Ark: Survival Evolved 2 is all of that plus Vin Diesel.

Riot’s League of Legends is one of the most popular video games ever made. Master of multiplayer, the developer is taking the characters it’s crafted and trying them out in a single player game for the first time. Ruined King looks like the developers take on JPRGs from the SNES era, complete with turn based combat and isometric views.
