Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor has been named 2014 Game of the Year at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

Monolith's licensed adventure beat out Alien: Isolation, Bayonetta 2, Destiny, and Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft.

Shadow of Mordor was the Gameplanet Critics Game of the Year, and one of the Gameplanet community's top three Games of the Year. Shadow of Mordor also cleaned up at the DICE Summit, but was pipped for the top honour by Dragon Age: Inquisition.
