@Darth_Pretzel Much appreciated. :) (Even moreso for being indiscriminately oblivious to my inability to use Google.) /blush

About the Awards
GameSpot's Best of 2010 awards cover special achievements in the field of advancements for games, dubious honors for less-than-admirable qualities, and full awards for individual genres and every major platform. Nominations and awards are the result of rigorous debate among GameSpot's editors, who select up to five finalists and one winner for almost every category (the Game of the Year category includes up to 10 finalists). To qualify for an editorial award, games must have been reviewed by GameSpot between January 1, 2010, and November 30, 2010.
Award categories are intended to call out those games that truly deserve the attention--therefore, while each award is meaningful, it's considered an honor simply to be nominated.
Special Achievement
Best Implementation of User Generated Content
Many games are a great value, but those with the longest life spans are often those that let you exercise your own creativity and add to the experience by building your own game characters, levels, and play modes. Our nominees for this category acknowledge those games that best let you turn your imagination into great game content.
