It's no surprise that Telltale's The Walking Dead would come out the big winner this year's VGA's. I think they deserve every award since I too think it's one of the best game's to come out this 2012. What's shocking is Borderlands 2 taking best shooter and best multiplayer against the likes of Black Ops 2 and Halo 4. I guess I'm too used to seeing those categories being easy wins for franchises such as Call of Duty and Halo.

Surprised by the results?
