2012 VGA Nominees Revealed, The Walking Dead Up for Game of the Year

Hosted by Afro Samurai himself, Samuel L. Jackson, the 2012 Spike TV VGAs will air on December 7th at 6PM PST. Along with a bunch of different gameplay videos and announcements, it will hand out quite a few awards.

While I personally disagree with a lot of the nominees (best PS3 game features 4 nominees and only one of them is exclusive), you can check out some of the more notable ones below:

Game of the Year

  • Assassin’s Creed III
  • Dishonored
  • Journey
  • Mass Effect 3
  • The Walking Dead

  • Assassin’s Creed III
  • Dishonored

Best Handheld/Mobile Game

The full list of nominees is available on their website and you can even vote on your favorites, though aside from most anticipated game of 2013 and character of the year, it will have no bearing on who actually wins.

Do you think the voting committee will pick The Walking Dead for game of the year? Or will they go for Assassin’s Creed III? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
