Although the game is short, Journey definitely deserves to take most of the awards it was nominated for. Best game is a thin line, but possible. I don't know why people voted it into the multiplayer category. The gameplay isn't changed at all and only really adds feeling to the story. However, it's still one of my favorites.
Were is ac3 in best action !? But black ops 2 is one there wtf..
