And thus we have the Game, Music and Film awards in a nutshell.
I fail to see how Shepard can be character of the year. When you play Halo or Assassins Creed, you're playing the role of that character. When you play Shepard, you're creating your own Shepard who made the choice of 'romancing X' or 'killing y'. Also, what Shepard? BroShep or FemShep? Shepard isn't a character. Stupid stupid...
The only few characters who stood out for me this year where
Caius Ballad (FFXIII-2)
Handsome Jack(Borderlands 2) (Probably would vote him)
Peacock (Skullgirls)
