Overview
Giant Bomb's Game of the Year Awards celebrates 2016's best and worst in the world of video games.
This year, the crew did away with the skits and parodies and decided to use the limited time of having everyone in the same building to produce eight different shows with everyone involved. "Hitsmas" definitely stole the show.
This was the first year of GB GOTY that the deliberation process was made available in video in addition to the usual audio podcasts.
