With the Game Awards less than a month away, it's about time for us to learn which games are up to win awards this year (and get a hint at which games will be in the Game Awards Sale on Xbox Live, PSN, and Steam).
This year, it looks like Nintendo, Sony and Ubisoft are in position to clean house during the award ceremony with plenty of their games winding up as nominees. Bethesda has a few nominated games up there as well, predominantly Prey and Wolfenstein 2.
