This week, the crew decides to fix what isn't broken by shouting out the best soundtracks that the Game Awards didn't already beat us to it.

Will it be as varied as last year's? Probably. Will we showcase more indies than the actual awards shows? Sure thing. Will Rana make sure we never forget he got his TGA prediction right? You bet.

You can sample the soundtracks we recommended today via the playlist on our YouTube channel: Music Arcade 94
