Intro
The year 2009 brought us many big game releases most coming during the later part of the year. Although quite a few games got pushed into 2010 the year still held up with some surprises. The fastest selling game of all time, Modern Warfare 2, made its debut in November. The year also brought some new games in Flower, Trine and Dragon Age: Origins that proved to be quality titles. There were a few surprises this year and a fair share of disappointments with some bad ports and ordinary games. Some sequels proved more worthy than the originals with DiRT 2, Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 making marked improvements over their prequels.
We take a brief look back at 2009 and hand out some awards for the major categories and talk about our decisions. Mentions have been given to all those we felt were viable contenders to the winners in each category. On the final page we give out our Game of the Year 2009. Fallout 3 was our winner last year, what game will receive the precious prize this year?
