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.
Special Achievement
Best Use of a Creative License
This award recognizes video games that were built around an existing creative license and made excellent use of that license by translating the characters, story, and world of that property into a game that stayed true to the source material.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold - The Videogame
Batman: The Brave and The Bold - The Videogame absolutely nails the look and feel of the family-friendly cartoon show that inspired it, with dead-on art direction, authentic characters, and voice-overs provided by the show's actual cast.
