  1. Angry Birds doesn’t deserve anything, that should have gone to Cut the Rope.
    And tbh I can’t think of any new/recent nintendo titles that should have one any of those, except skyward sword for one to watch

  2. Saw this a few days ago. But!!!!! WELL DONE NINTENDO FOR WINNING ONE OF THEM!!!!!!

    HOPE NEXT YEAR NINTENDO WINS INNOVATION AGAIN FOR THE WII U!!!!!!! :D

    • More like, it would have been different if this had been done after the holiday season when Mario 3D land (mobile game), Skyward Sword (action/adventure game) had come out.

  3. I will kill every single @$$hole that got Black Ops the award for Shooter. If anything, it’s the very problem with the genre right now.

    • yep. That’s why I’m still playin MAG. One of the only games in the past few years that wasn’t trying to be CoD to boost sales.

      • so what your saying that every single game out there is trying to be call of duty except for mag and a few others? what about batman arkham city red dead redemption la noire gears of war portal 2 uncharted 2 god of war assassins creed brotherhood… there are a ton of games that are not remotely similar to call of duty

  4. I wonder what the time frame is for this list?…..They should of had a side scroller category and DKCR should of been the winner!
