Angie Church -

The end of the year is fast approaching, which mean it's time for another set of Game of the Year Awards.

Since not everyone can be so lucky as to receive a Most Epic Win Game of Year Award, it is good that there a selection of illustrious accolades being awarded, including The Game Awards (TGA):
