KontrolFreek Predicts The Game Awards 2018

by Mason Moreau 03 Dec 2018

Bring Back Spike TV 

Before we get started, we would just like to say that the above headline is a total joke. The world is a better place without constant reruns of Blue Mountain State and 1000 Ways To Die.

One thing that was born on Spike though was the game awards. A traditional awards show meant to showcase the best that this year had to offer. 

So this post's title pretty much says it all. We went around the office and discerned which games we think are going to take home the big awards on December 6, 2018.   

Every Nominee that has been bolded counts as our prediction. Each winner will be in green text.
