I am disappointed that Black Ops even won anything, or was even nominated. That game is the grand example of how to not design levels.
Black Ops shouldn't have been nominated at all. It's one of those things that makes Modern Warfare look good.
Aside from that, I can't disagree with the nominees and winners. I know some wanted Heavy Rain to win best game, but Mass Effect 2 was clearly the best thing released last year.
