Here are the nominees for The Game Awards 2014

Video game nominees for The Game Awards 2014, the revamped version of the Spike VGAs from Geoff Keighley and industry types, have been announced.

The reveals were part of a Twitch stream today, and Game Informer grabbed the entire list and made it pretty. I say pretty because if you have been hanging around the site long enough, you know I have a thing for bullet points. This list is full of them and in alphabetical order no less! My OCD thanks them.
