The VGX Awards (formerly known as the VGAs) are coming December 7th and today the channel announced the nominees for each category!
The awards show is often a celebrity affair with numerous game announcements as well, although it is very commercialized I still think that is worth a watch.
There are some interesting choices here including a great showing by The Fullbright Company’s Gone Home. Unsurprisingly games like GTA V, BioShock Infinite and The Last of US lead the way, but the nominees seem nice and mixed.
If you would like to vote you can do so right here! Please let me know in the comments who you would like to win, I for one am still unsure about my game of the year, it’s difficult to decide considering a whole load of games came out that I can’t even play yet!
