Special Achievement

GameSpot's special achievements awards cover a swath of categories meant to acknowledge those games that deserve recognition for excelling in specific areas that may otherwise go unnoticed with the incredible number of great games released in 2009. There's plenty of competition across all categories, ranging from those that honor technical and artistic excellence in graphics to those that recognize the best stories and the best downloadable content. As someone famous once said, "There can be only one," but to even be nominated in these competitive categories is itself an award.

    Some of the most ridiculous categories I've ever seen. I guess they need something to write about. Total crap tho.

    ok this is so stupid why didn't mad world win one of the music ones or even a nomination?, or at least Most Surprising Game to Make it Past Aussie Censors I mean it was banned in some countrys protested by soccer moms and crazy parents. The soundtrack was really good too, even if you didn't like the genre
    That game gets no love
