This past December The Game Awards was held in Los Angeles at the Microsoft Theater and Melina Juergens won the Best Performance which is awarded to an individual for voice-over acting, motion and/or performance capture.

Juergens won for her performance as Senua in Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice.

In a gaming climate that usually focuses on what’s wrong in gaming, Juergens performance, and well-deserved accolade is the highlight that explains what is great and wonderful about modern gaming.

Here’s a great video by DTakes23 that illustrates the great talent of Melina Juergens and does a much better job explaining why Juergens performance is so amazing.
