GameSpot's Special Achievement awards highlight those games that excelled in specific areas that the editorial staff considered to be significant enough to consider for 2008, --a year that saw the release of both original games and sequels, as well as the emergence of new trends. These areas include such categories as outstanding visual design, impressive technical advancements, musical scores, and others. As with most of GameSpot's awards, each category is limited to a maximum of five finalists, which made picking a winner extremely difficult at times--and also made the simple act of making the cut as a finalist an honor unto itself.
