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
Funniest Game
Video games are inherently fun, but they aren't always funny. This award recognizes games that consistently made us laugh out loud the whole way through.

Dead Rising 2
Dead Rising 2's unusual weapon-combination system and completely random mix of items, vehicles, and apparel--not to mention its open-ended gameplay--set the stage for more outrageous situations and hilarious moments than you can shake a football-duct-taped-to-a-bomb at.

I got Deadly Premonition today but havn't played it yet, now I'm looking foward to it even more. I had no idea it had funny parts in it xD Also, tricycles FTW
yea I thought so too but there's already the spoiler here unfortunately :( The box on the left column
dead rising 2 is a hilarious game yet but thats only if you ignore the story if you try to complete the actual missions it just becomes frustrating
Woo! I figured Dead Rising would win... I mean... come on... a mall with endless possibilities!
