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 New Character
While everyone knows the Master Chiefs and Marios of the gaming world, each year a handful of new characters emerge, enriching a world dominated by an established cast with memorable new mannerisms and quotable catchphrases. The Best New Character category celebrates the best newcomers of the year.

Red Dead Redemption
John Marston is a man who's done terrible things, having roughed up, robbed, and killed countless people. But he's also a man trying to turn his life around, and that painful struggle to redeem himself made him a fascinating, complex character.
