Best Use of Control Scheme

Next Best Original IP

Special Achievement

Now more than ever, game hardware is accommodating unusual uses of controls. Controllers aren't just simple dual-stick setups with shoulder buttons. These days, they're wireless, and they work with new console hardware and with smart new game design that reinterprets how players can enter commands into a game. This award category recognizes the games that took a unique approach to their control schemes that not only was clever, but also worked well and added to the overall game experience.

I would have chosen Sacred 2, but that wasn't one of the chosen options - they bound so many controls to the pad and yet it took very little time to learn and it was all really customisable.

I went with Wii Sports Resort, because it's been the most fun I've had with the remote this year.
