Moon Studios' 2D platformer about a spritely orphan rabbit … thing … sprinted and leapt into enough hearts that it took home the title of Best Xbox Game at the 2015 Golden Joystick Awards, beating out crowd favorite Master Chief.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection did manage to take the runner-up title however, while Insomniac's colorful Sunset Overdrive took 3rd place. Were you in Chief's corner? Don't worry - everyone's favorite green armor-wearing supersoldier can take another stab at 1st with the 2016 Golden Joystick Awards, for which Halo 5: Guardians will be eligible.
