Activision’s Call of Duty Black Ops was one of two of the most nominated games, with the second being that of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood.
Black Ops was nominated for half the available categories, but only managed to win GAME Award of 2010.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 was the winner of Use of Audio category.
With the overwhelming success of Treyarch’s approach to the outrightly awesome Modern Warfare titles by Infinty Ward, it’s surprising not to see more awards under Black Ops belt. Only having won an award based mostly on consumer thoughts and purchases, being that of the GAME award of 2010, isn’t something to complain about, but there were more engaging and polished games out there, like the overall best game winner Mass Effect 2.
Well, with the certainty that another Call of Duty title will be amongst us before the year end, maybe then can Activision reap the awards their beloved franchise most possibly deserves.
