Giant Bomb's Game of the Year Awards celebrates 2018's best and worst in the world of video games.

This year, the format of the deliberations and awards changed. The total number of awards was reduced to ten while the first few days of discussions were devoted to simply talking about 79 games that came out in 2018 in chronological order. During these discussions, anyone could nominate a game for one of the categories. The final two days are where the awards were doled out.
