SPORTS GAME OF THE YEAR 2011
How fitting that our Sports category netted a tie! Also no huge shock that many in our core community gravitated towards the non-traditional sports games when casting their votes.
Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games continues in the spirit of classic Olympic video games like Summer Games, Winter Games and Track & Field, but instead of generic short-short wearing mustached Olympic athletes, we're in control of our favorite characters from the Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. Healthy sales of the first entry gave us this sequel in what may turn out to be a yearly tradition from Nintendo and Sega. If you thought Curling was fun before wait till you try it with Yoshi and Knuckles!

Pro Wrestling is as much of an institution in the history of Video Games as it is to the millions (and MILLIONS) of fans that tune in weekly to see the exploits of their favorite sweaty guy in tights and leather boots ... whoever that may be ... mine is Chris Jericho.
With the (now eponymous, previously Smackdown) "WWE" series, THQ & Yukes went and muscled out any of the REAL competition in the marketplace years ago the same way that Vince McMahon did with all of the WWE's wrestling competion. Sure there may be some odd stragglers out there, but if you want a REAL pro wrasslin game, this one is the main event where the others are nothing but a bunch of curtain-jerker jabronies.
