Hey guys!!!

With the release of Skyward Sword and so many other fantastic games this year, there are a couple of significant gaming contests featuring the year's best in a showdown for the coveted award "Game of the Year" and similar titles.

Spike TV's 2011 Video Game Awards have ended, and while Skyrim took the top "Game of the Year" prize, Skyward Sword took home "Best Wii Game" (duh) and "Best Motion Game". Also, for the first time ever, Spike TV recognized The Legend of Zelda series with the "Video Game Hall of Fame Award". This is a great honor for the series and its creators; it's like compared to the GOTY award, the entire Legend of Zelda series received a "Game of the Quarter-Century Award". =DDD

That's an amazing set of awards for Zelda and Nintendo this year; just to be nominated for GOTY is wonderful in itself! Congratulations, LoZ and the Zelda Team at Nintendo!

G4TV hosted their Video Game Deathmatch, and Skyward Sword beat Skyrim 51% to 49% and made it to the final round against Assassin's Creed: Revelations. It won against AC and was crowned "Viewer's Choice of 2011"!! Thanks to all who voted!!!!

Skyward also won "Best Soundtrack" from G4. Surprisingly, it lost in the "Best Motion Control" category to "Dance Central 2". ....................??

Amazing to see such awesome recognition and honors for our beloved series this year. Congratulations, LoZ and the entire Zelda team!
