It’s that time of year again for the Video Game Awards from Spike we just so happen to have the nominee list right here. Some you’ll probably scratch your head at while others seem to fit just fine. Who do you think will take the crown as best game for 2010? I’d put money on either Halo Reach or Black Ops even though Mass Effect 2 or Red Dead Redemption are probably better choices.
