1. 2010's 1997 Game of the Year 
2. The Vincent Caravella Foundation Award for Best "Game as Art".
3.  The Iced-Tea Coldest Mother Fucker Award brought to you by Lipton. (They could go with Ice-T but this way they can compete directly with Spike in the "We're selling our souls to sell beverages" market.)
4. Game Character we'd least like to party with. 
5. Best Endurance Run Suggestion. (Categories are "Fuck You People, and stop sending us email.") 
6. The Luchadeer. (There are no nominees in this category. ) 
7. The Dave Snyder Award for Eastern European Game That Is Kind of Fucked Up, But Still Mainly Fun, I Don't Know, They Mean Well. 
8.  John Vinocchi's Essence Awardfor Manliest Game Character.
9. The Brad Shoemaker Award for Best Use of Starcraft in Starcraft II. 
10. $504: The Jeff Gerstmann Experience. (Or the Jeff has probably spent about $500 on Game Room at this point, so we're making it an award, award.)

They just need to make a Best Notebook Award, and then have a pen and spiral notebook take it.

Deffest Rappe..er I mean... 

  • Best Wrapper/Shell for Launching Downloadable Games.
There's actually been more than usual. Destination Arcade was a new trial run, but the NNXE counts as well. SteamPlay is what brought Steam to the Mac with cross-platform cloud support (broken though it was), so that's a big change.  Onlive is take it or leave it a new thing.  Game Room improved itself. And I threw in Pinball FX 2 because the didn't charge up front, and digital pinball really makes sense with a shell.

Biggest Disappointment. So Fable 3 and Alpha Protocol can be remembered as games that came out in 2010. 
 
Most charmingly garrulous title.
