Introduction | Gameplay Awards | Special Awards | Genre Awards | GOTY

Outstanding voice work, superb dialogue, fantastic shooting, brilliant platforming and a good dose of hilarity are just some of the great things about Uncharted 2. It’s not often such a well paced experience is offered on any platform and therefore it becomes a very worthy winner of our Game of the Year award.

Honorable Mentions:

Dragon Age: Origins

Assassin's Creed 2

Batman: Arkham Asylum

I think it's best to keep in mind the fact that this was put together by all of us writers and most of us aren't able to play every game that came out over the last year or even every AAA title. I've heard only great things about Arkhum Asylum, but I am one of the contributors yet to play it so I can't accurately judge it. We had to go off of what we played. Before this awards list, I hadn't even heard of Cryostasis, but being the story-junkie that I am, I'm going to check it out after this.

I have to say that the awards i agree with the most are the ones Modern Warfare won, thank you guys for realizing that that game is just a decent game not the second coming of Jesus Christ on a disk, it has already come and its called orange box

@kamikaziechameleon: batman was a runner up in a number of categories and just missed out on a few wins. I too would have liked to have seen it win more.

Good choices all around, i'm a little surprised at Dragon Age winning best atmosphere though.

I agree with 99% of things but I'm sad to not see Batman AA in a single catagory. That was my favorite game.
