So the dust has settled, the votes have been counted, and Rockstar’s ‘Read Dead Redemption’ has walked away with the ‘Game of the Year’ award. We think that RDR is a deserving winner; not only is the standalone game a wonderfully designed adventure, but it has also received fantastic post release support by way of premium DLC such as ‘Undead Nightmare’.

No GT5? anyone else surprised?
DJ-Katy
Not really.
The surprise was that Tiger Woods won best solo sports game – rofl.
bunimomike
Not really. It hadn’t been released when the votes were being counted (at a guess).

Yeah same here, I found hot pursuit pants in comparison to GT5, I played NFS on ps3 and pc and there is a massive difference. The pc version had waay better graphics and visual fidelity. Gameplay wise GT5 is waay better. IMO the best racing game of 2010 has to go to GT5 or F1 2010.
Rocket_345
Nope not really. I was more expecting F1 2010 to win best racer but as i haven’t played NFS:HP (apart from the demo which i found brilliant) so can’t really judge.
