"My Parents Think its Real" Award For Best Graphics

Bright colors, cool looking levels, this game was just a joy to look at.

"Nolan North's Disciple" Award for Best Voice Actor

While Portal 2 had the two best performances of the year, the return of Mark Hamill as The Joker, Kevin Conroy as Batman, and Nolan North displaying his talents as the penguin,show this game has amazing voice acting. Every Batman character is brought to life well by each voice actor and to have as many perfect voices as it does is quite an achievement.

Winner: No Player vs. AI Mode- Mortal Kombat
 
Come on MK, I know practicing against the computer isn't the real way to get better, but when you suck like I do, it would be nice to practice combos on a moving/attacking opponent rather than something just standing there. I couldn't believe it wasn't an option.
 
Runner Up: RAGE mission structure

"The People's Champ" Award for Best Developer

Winner: CD Project RED
 
The Witcher 2 is an amazing game and one of the most improved sequels I've ever played. Not to mention they included the soundtrack, a guide, a letter, a coin, and a "Making Of" DVD with the game for free. Also, there is no longer a CD key for the game. CD Project RED hates DRM and makes it their top priority to support the gamers first. Here is what they have to say about all that http://pc.ign.com/articles/121/1213607p1.htmlOh yeah and they added free DLC. I love these guys.

One of my favorite endings of anything ever. Also has one of my favorite lines of all time.
