The full list of nominees for the annual Game Awards have been announced with Bloodborne, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and Super Mario Maker all leading the charge.
Those of you who fancy catching the action live can view it on various channels including Twitch, YouTube, and Xbox LIVE. Check out the full list of nominees below. The Game Awards will take place in Los Angeles on December 3, produced once again by long-time video games journalist, Geoff Keighley. The awards were created in 2014 after the Spike Video Game Awards (later rebranded VGX) were dropped after running for a decade; the awards typically hosted live music and were the platform for several major game reveals during their time.
