It's that time again: We're handing out our 2010 awards for excellence in gaming, spanning all the big genres and platforms, as well as our overall best pick (which, as far as we're concerned, transcends the simple platform nod). This was an overwhelming year for great games, so it's been tough to pick the very best. Read on to see what GameSpy's editors and writers chose as the best of 2010 (and why), and let us know what your picks are in the comments section below. And don't forget to check out our Year in Review companion feature, which recaps 2010's biggest news and top trends!
