by The Game Awards 2015 is coming up on December 3rd at 9 pm EST! It'll be hosted by Geoff Keighley once again.
Last years' was pretty okay, although some of the awards didn't seem deserved. (specifically Dragon Age: Origins being game of the year...lmao) But even if it's not that great it's nice to have something to watch so I'll definitely be looking forward to it.
