Many will say that there is more to a game's graphics then how realistic they can be.  Seeing as how we agree with these people we created a second award for graphics.  This award is all about style, and how a game does not need ultra-realism to succeed, just great flair.  The nominees are:

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Bastion
Rayman Origins
Little Big Planet 2

The winner of the category is Bastion. Between the colorful world and the way the land appears as you walk this was an easy choice to make.  While it had a relatively low budget they made a really beautiful game.  Here is to seeing more games like this in the coming years.
