Halo 4 takes 2 categories. Nice!

 

I am honestly not surprised that Assassins Creed III didn't win one. They just used the same graphics from the last games and screwed up the controls imo. They could have done things better to be honest.

[DaveAtStateFarm]

COD didn't win a single award

[skummgummigubbe]

halo 4 for the best graphics awesome, IMO it does have, can't wait till halo 5 to se what 343 have in store for the next gen console

 

and CoD did not ge one HAHA LOL

[SatanicBagels]

Am I the only one who thinks The Walking Dead winning GOTY for these is ridiculous. I mean it's an already established story for god sakes.

it's doesnt follow the comics or show though, it has it's own unique story, that's like saying halo 4 is an established story since the halo series has been around for a while

[LordChristoff]

Could of won Game of the Year but good outcome non the less...

[Azaxx]

If you look at the nominations. halo 4 was in a huge amount of categories.

[Harbinger]

Mass Effect as best RPG! WOOT!!!!

[SatanicBagels]

Oh I thought it was based off of the comic books which I haven't read. Was it really good enough to be GotY though? I mean I've heard that it was a decent game... but decent doesn't exactly inspire a vote of confidence when we are talking about the best game of the year here.

 

EDIT: Rethinking it it probably won largely because of the TV and comic book fanboy population.

me personally i liked the story better than halo 4's but walking dead was nothing more than an an interactive story with a few decisions to make, i dont think it was GOTY worhty, not by a long shot, at least in halo you get the multiplayer and spartan ops and all that in addition to the story

 

and yeah it probably did win because of the popularity of the show and comics

[SykoWolf]

I love that Mass Effect won Best RPG AND that Halo = best Xbox 360 game, but to be honest i already excpected it

[MrMajiggles]

Yay! Halo 4 won 2 and Walking Dead won 3 times! Even better, Blops 2 didn't win anything! Good thing too, i was just heading to gamestop to sell it.

[ISTRAFED UP0NI]

Walking Dead winning Game of the Year is a joke.

The graphics are cool I guess

[ZB-85]

Halo won two!!! I am surprised Assassins Creed 3 or even Black Ops 2 didn't get on there. But, that is okay.

[Twisted Oracle]

I happy that Halo got two awards, i feel it deserves more

 

Great Job 343i keep up the good work

[SykoWolf]

Halo wins best graphics?

Awesome

 

Im surprised that Walking Dead got GOTY, but i DO love the show, sooooo ill probably enjoy the game also

[Kodman Eats]

Look at Halo 4 go! :clap:

[Sarge]

I see two awards for halo 4 and none for black ops 2 hurray!!

[SykoWolf]

Yeah i saw that CoD got no awards...that made me happy

They need to step up their game otherwise they are gonna get stale (not like they have already )

[Grif.]

best rpg should have been skyrim or borderlands 2 and game of the year should have been halo 4

[D-38 Boss]

While I like The Walking Dead, how it won so many awards is confusing to me.

agreed but u know those zombie heads

Obviously, yet i can't help but question it, people speak of it as this Magnum Opus of gaming, while in the adventure game department, it's rather lacking. The Bladerunner Game beats it by a longshot and it's about 10 years old.
