BEST NEWS
This award goes to the best news announced in 2010.
Runner Up
Elder Scrolls V Announced!
This news is very recent and only a few days old, but it's definately some of the best gaming news I've heard in a long time. Finally, after a painfully long wait, the sequel to Oblivion has been announced! Not only has it been announced but we've been given plenty of details, it will be a direct sequel to Oblivion, and is going to be set in Skyrim, the northern country of Cyrodil, home to the race "the Nords". So it is likely to be a cold/icy world we will explore this time.
The best part is, it's less than a year away! (provided there are no delays, which is unlikely...)
Winner
Gears of War 3 BETA + Dedicated Servers
Anyone who's played Gears of War will have likely experienced the lag like no other lag you will find in a game, or the ridiculous host advantage which nearly kills the amazing series. It should be gone in Gears 3, as EPIC have finally announced Gears 3 will have dedicated servers, so no more ridiculous connection issues!
There was some bad news, the game was delayed by half a year, but this news was balanced with some even better news that Gears 3 will be having a BETA!
