Even still, with competition like there was for that award, how on earth does Black Ops come out on top?

Too many 12 year olds getting their old Ma's to buy / vote for them?

So glad Black Ops didn't win GOTY.
Some fitting winners there, i was surprised that Black Ops didn't win the multiplayer, and glad that it didn't win GOTY or story.
A shame that Limbo didn't get a win. I quite enjoyed the show overall, Dara O'Brien is a good presenter for this sort of stuff, as he actually enjoys the medium. I fully expect to see him in Fable 3 now. Hell they've had Jason Manford, John Cleese and Jonathan Ross..
As much as people whine about Molyneux not delivering on things, he seems like a decent bloke, i'd rather have him than some corporate businessman promoting the industry. Well deserved.

Which moron chose the games in this category
Fallout:NV as strategy? Fifa Manager but no Football Manager Which moron chose the games in this category
People that most likely don't play games
(or just Wii and therefore that makes them hc gamers!)
Im not - the CoD franchise may have progressed MP, but BlackOps alone hasnt at all - stuff like autolog really looks like to be a game changer, especially as no doubt it be picked up and modified to suit other genres (Homefronts Battle Commander is a good example)...
ps3ud0
Couldnt update the end of the list .. powercut anyway, the choices in that were shocking to say the least.
NFS:HP over SC2, Brotherhood ... hell just about any of those titles? NFS:HP was a terrible MP game!
And Civ over SC2 ...
Artistic Achievement - ignoring the fact i dont like the God of War series (a dumbed down Bayonetta but thats an argument for another day) the criteria given for this award stated it should be for a game which 'did something different' in the art department .. i fail to see how GoW achieved this.
