For those of you who aren't keeping up on current video game news, there is a channel on basic cable called G4 that broadcasts gaming news and events; in addition to a lot of the tv show, "COPS". Every year, a show called X-Play hosts an award show for the best games of each category. Upon watching the awards, I began to think what we as collectors think.
G-Phoria 2009 Award Winners Are:
Game of the Year - Fallout 3
Best Graphics - Killzone 2
Best New Character - Sackboy - LittleBigPlanet
Best Party Game - Rock Band 2
Best Racing Game - Burnout Paradise: Big Surf Island
Best Shooter - Gears of War 2
Best Strategy Game - Halo Wars
Best Sports Game - Fight Night Round 4
Best Action Game - InFamous
Best Role-Playing Game - Fallout 3
Most Original Game - LittleBigPlanet
Deserves an Uwe Boll Movie - Legendary
Best Online Multiplayer Game - Left 4 Dead
Best Downloadable Content - Fallout 3: Broken Steel
Best Handheld Game - GTA: Chinatown Wars
Best Voice Acting - Fallout 3
Best Soundtrack - Fallout 3
Longest Lasting Game presented by Stride Gum - Fallout 3
Favorite System - Xbox 360
Best Downloadable Game - Castle Crashers
I want to know what old school gamers think of these new games, how we all think about the direction gaming is evolving, and what you think about the winners of each category.

I havnt played a single one of those games yet so I cant really give my opinion, but I have a really hard time believing that GTA: Chinatown Wars was the best game released on a handheld all year.

@Crabmaster2000: you should try it out, it's alot of fun
| |
I disagree with the handheld choice. Chinatown wars really didn't do it for me, I felt Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia was a much better choice for handheld game of the year. But that is all in the past...I can only hope that Golden Sun: DS will be awesome enough to get handheld game of the year for 2010.

Of all those games, the only one I've played was inFamous, and that was just the demo. I thought it was a very fun game, and I'll probably buy it eventually, but I can't say if it deserved Best Action Game since I haven't really played anything else that came out this year.
By the looks of that list, I should get Fallout 3 one of these days, it must be a damn good game to get 6 of the 19 awards.

@NES_Rules: Fallout 3 is an awesome game, it only took me around 20 hours to get the first 1000 gamerscore out of it, (which included the main story and several side missions), but if you want to do everything you can and complete every side mission and weapon and talk to every individual, the hours of play would hit well over 200-300 by my best educated guess.
