As most of our readers know by now, the PiercingMetal site is always trying to up their content game by adding all sorts of different creative avenues. It’s been heavily entrenched in the Pop Culture scene with all the comics, film, television and toy content and since there are some topical awards shows to feature this post is going to pay some attention to one of them. The Game Awards show seems very interesting and before we get down to the nominees for this years awards let’s take a look at what Wikipedia has to say about it.

The Game Awards is an annual awards ceremony honoring achievements in the video game industry. Established in 2014, the shows are produced and hosted by game journalist Geoff Keighley, who worked on its predecessor, the Spike Video Game Awards, for over ten years. In addition to the awards, The Game Awards features premieres of upcoming games and new information on previously-announced titles. (c/o Wiki)

As I am always trying to up the content game here on the PiercingMetal site, I’ve decided to add another one of those awards show rundowns to the mix. Many of you already know that we have a very strong Pop Culture section where I speak and share news about the comic book industry, film and television updates and the latest coolness in toys and collectibles. Though we don’t get to do much gaming content outside of a release announcement or trailer, I figured it would be a good idea to include the nominations and eventual winners of The Game Awards. This awards ceremony was first established in 2014 according to my Wiki research and now for the first time ever makes an appearance on the PiercingMetal website for the gamers in our readership. Let’s take a look at the nominations for this years honors.
