Jackson on Friday, December 7. We've got the full list of nominations for you, with Halo 4, Journey and Borderlands 2 each taking 7, but as usual there are certainly some surprises. Also, as most people would expect, Spike has some exclusive game premieres -- this year's include The Last of Us, Gears of War: Judgment, and South Park: The Stick of Truth. This year, the VGAs are partnered with Xbox (yes, the Video Game Awards are partnered with a company that develops consoles and games that are nominated for awards) to create an interactive awards show. We're all hoping for more holograms, but in reality we're talking about live polls and SmartGlass functionality. Did I mention Microsoft owned developer 343's game Halo 4 picked up 7 nominations? Without further adieu, here are the twenty five and more categories for the 2012 VGAs, err, VGA TEN: Game of the Year Assassin's Creed III Dishonored Journey Mass Effect 3 The Walking Dead Best Action Game Assassin's Creed III Darksiders II Dishonored Sleeping Dogs Best Shooter Borderlands 2 Call of Duty: Black Ops II Halo 4 Max Payne 3 Best RPG Diablo III Mass Effect 3 Torchlight II Xenoblade Chronicles Best Multi-Player Game Borderlands 2 Call of Duty: Black Ops II Guild Wars 2 Halo 4 Best Fighting Game Dead or Alive 5 Persona 4 Arena Street Fighter X Tekken Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Best Driving Game DiRT: Showdown F1 2012 Forza Horizon Need for Speed Most Wanted Best Team Sports Game FIFA Soccer 13 Madden NFL 13 NBA 2K13 NHL 13 Best Individual Sports Game Hot Shots Golf World Invitational SSX Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 WWE '13 Best Xbox 360 Game Assassin's Creed III Borderlands 2 Dishonored Halo 4 Best PS3 Game Assassin's Creed III Borderlands 2 Dishonored Journey Best Wii/Wii U Game New Super Mario Bros.

VGA TEN airs on December 7 at 9PM EST/6PM PST, watchable on either Spike.com, GameTrailer.tv, through Xbox Live, or on Spike TV, MTV 2, and MTV TR3S.

	I find it freaking awesome that The Walking Dead is running for game of the year. I would love to see it win that title. ------------------- Upcoming games: Grid 2 \| Remember Me \| Dynasty Warriors 8 \| Saint's Row IV \| Splinter Cell: Blacklist \| Lost Planet 3 \| Grand Theft Auto V \| Arkham Origins

	For the "Best PS3 Game" and "Best Xbox 360 Game" shouldn't exclusives of that console be on the list and not multiplatform games? ------------------- Black 2 Friend Code: 3612-0422-2938

	Basically, Leon_Gehste. Both lists basically involve the same game but one difference. I just don't think there were that many exclusives for both systems. ------------------- Upcoming games: Grid 2 \| Remember Me \| Dynasty Warriors 8 \| Saint's Row IV \| Splinter Cell: Blacklist \| Lost Planet 3 \| Grand Theft Auto V \| Arkham Origins

	Can't say I care for the awards themselves, but there's usually game announcements during this right? I think Skyrim got announced during one of these? That should be good. ------------------- -THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU: LIVE REMIX-

	Haven't really cared much for Spikes VGA since maybe the first one. Very nice to see The Walking Dead up for Game of the Year though. ------------------- When You Go Astray, I'll Be There To Punch You Back!

	I stopped watching and caring about the VGA's on Spike when they decided spots for celebrities and new game announcements and such were more important for the Award show then the.... hell I don't know, AWARDS....... They sat Mark Hamill in the back and didn't even have him accept his award on the stage..... bleep them. ------------------- I'll teach your Grandmother to Suck Eggs!

	Nolam North to get main character. Castle of Glass for Soundtrack. GTAV for most anticipated. After last years games, this years don't really interest me. Of course, Ive yet to play AC3, so that may vhange, but I wasn't that keen. I guess it was the overtly "Murica, Fck yeah" tones in the trailer.
