Spike VGA Nominations 2013

This nominations for this year's Spike VGX (formerly Spike TV) Awards are in, led by big hits like BioShock Infinite, Grand Theft Auto 5, The Last of Us and Tomb Raider – 2013 shows it hasn’t been  short of fantastic title.


Indeed, the shortlist for Game of the Year, which includes the above as well as Super Mario 3D world is very predictable (isn’t it always), but that’s because we love the games they nominate.


GTA leads the overall nominations, being mentioned in nine categories, followed closely by BioShock Infinite with eight and The Last of Us with seven. I thought I’d give my view below of my anticipated winner (in my opinion obviously).


The event will kick off on Saturday 7th December – so not long to find out how your favourite titles fared.


Check out the full list of nominations below, along with my predictions/expected winners as mentioned before.
