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 Implementation of User Generated Content

Many games are a great value, but those with the longest life spans are often those that let you exercise your own creativity and add to the experience by building your own game characters, levels, and play modes. Our nominees for this category acknowledge those games that best let you turn your imagination into great game content.

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty

GameSpot's Best Games of 2010 Readers' Choice Winner

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is the sequel to Blizzard Entertainment's 1998 hit StarCraft, which has been hailed by players and critics worldwide as one of the top real-time strategy games of all time. Sporting a vibrant 3D-graphics engine, StarCraft II will once again center on the clash between the protoss, terrans, and zerg, with each side deploying legions of veteran, upgraded, and new unit types. Unparalleled online play for StarCraft II will be available through a new version of Battle.net, Blizzard Entertainment's world-renowned gaming service. Battle.net has been redesigned from the ground up to be the premier online gaming destination for Blizzard gamers, with several enhancements and new features, such as voice communication, cloud file storage, leagues and ladders, achievements, stat-tracking, and more.

@Darth_Pretzel Much appreciated. :) (Even moreso for being indiscriminately oblivious to my inability to use Google.) /blush

I have personally never experienced User Generated Content so seemlessly intergrated into a game, big up to Blizzard

Haven't tried the editor or user-made content in "SC II: WoL" yet. How slack of me. I hear the "DoTA" map is cool. Off to the website I go...
