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 Graphics, Artistic
Video games are a visual medium, and some games take this fact as a challenge. This award recognizes games that use a strong artistic design to bring their worlds to life.

This game is probably one of the best games made for Wii. My first system was an NES and I am def a fangirl!
Gamespot made the right choice here. I have Kirby's Epic Yarn, and one of the biggest reasons I played through it completely was to appreciate the awesome design.
is prety just this , 4 playstation 2 but not 4 win over so many titles that taked hundreds of hours to put together on xbox360 or ps3 , shame !
Completely deserves it, congrats Good-Feel, you did a superb job. Look forward to seeing more yarn creations in the future.
It never could have been anything else. Realistic recreations? Who cares! If I want realism I'll take a walk and soak in the scenery. It takes ingenuity to do something creative like Kirby.
