I have to say that I couldn't be happier. Skyrim, despite its flaws, has been the only game I have played since it was released and I'm still in awe. I'm happy to see it getting the recognition it deserves.

BTW, I also just won a bet. A buddy of mine said that Batman would win this year's IGN X-box award and I sided with Skyrim. He owes me a video game! lol

And they also said it was one of the top 10 gaming fails

???

If I recall correctly, that was referring to the PS3 version of the game.

A bittersweet accolade in the eyes of many.
