Best Music Game – Rock Band 3 Really? REALLY? Rock Band 3 had such a dull setlist, along with songs that were a) Boring, or b) Already put on one of the Guitar Hero games. They have yet to put Expert+ (Double Base Pedals) even on their "pro" modes, which were very stupid imo. Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock deserved this title.
Best Soundtrack – DJ Hero 2 More like WORST soundtrack. How does (c)rap make it the best?)
Best Driving Game – Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (Lolol Whatever. imo this one sucked.)
Best Downloadable Title – Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Personally I thought Monday Night Combat should have won this

Just my views.
Black Ops was blown way out of proportion for the game it was. I thought it was very bland and boring.

[Iceskater101]

eh don't think RDR should have won for game of the year..
but at least its not black ops so whatever
and Arkham City is going to be awesome!!!
I hope its released soon
I can't wait!
