Overview
Giant Bomb's Game of the Year Awards celebrates 2017's best and worst in the world of video games.
This year's festivities were similar to 2016 as the crew produced six shows featuring members of both the west coast office and east coast office competing in various ways. The events were headlined by "Winter Games", which pitted everyone against each other in a tournament where the winner would claim custody of Aggro Craig. The main event has to be seen to be believed.
Deliberations
This year, the video versions of the deliberations were broken out into singular categories. Links are provided within each award category.
