• The Game Awards 2014

    The Game Awards will be held tonight in Las Vegas and streamed live at 9 PM ET through PSN, XBL, and Twitch, among numerous avenues - including right here at The Gaming Tailgate.

    The show will feature awards and also some game reveals. The Game Awards will be produced and financed by Geoff Keighley, who also aims for the show to be less comedic in nature (no jabs at gamers) but rather celebrate video games.

    Continue on to see the list of awards/nominees as well as a direct stream to watch The Game Awards.

      Can't believe MLB The Show 14 was not up for Sports GotY. Maybe it's not eligible since it is only on PS? Anyway, FIFA 15 would be my vote.
