About the Awards

GameSpot's Best of 2010 awards cover special achievements in the field of advancements for games, dubious honors for less-than-admirable qualities, and full awards for individual genres and every major platform. Nominations and awards are the result of rigorous debate among GameSpot's editors, who select up to five finalists and one winner for almost every category (the Game of the Year category includes up to 10 finalists). To qualify for an editorial award, games must have been reviewed by GameSpot between January 1, 2010, and November 30, 2010.

Award categories are intended to call out those games that truly deserve the attention--therefore, while each award is meaningful, it's considered an honor simply to be nominated.

Dubious Honors

Flat-Out Worst Game

While there are often many great games released each year, there are usually many more terrible ones. This category calls out some of the very worst games of 2010.

GameSpot's Best Games of 2010 Readers' Choice WinnerAnd the winner is…

Fighters Uncaged

Fighters Uncaged is a clumsy brawling game with lousy controls and a scoring system that makes no sense. If you play only one Kinect game this year, do not, under any circumstances, make it this one.

I sure hope Street Fighter doesn't try motion controls with Kinect.

Isn't it strange... the bad games just had plain bad graphics before. Now even the worst of the bunch have passable looking visuals. Just shows that us gamers have to be even more on our toes in our fight against lousy games!

That commercial does do a good job of making me want to fight though. I really want to punch that douche playing.
