Spike TV’s Video Game Awards show seems to improve a bit every year. This year’s show kicks off on Dec. 11 with a very strong line-up of contenders for a myriad of awards.
One note, both Stephen Totilo and myself are judges for the show, though this list of nominees reflects the votes of quite a few judges.
We plan to unveil the nominees for Kotaku’s Goaties in December, until then here’s the Spike TV VGA noms. Also, what are YOUR votes for game of the year?
