[General Discussion] The Gamingforce Game of the Year 2009: RESULTS - The Top 10

The voting is done with for another year, but a disappointing small number of people actually came out to vote, so this year rather than a top 20 I'm keeping it to just the top 10. In amongst those games we at GFF have crowned the best of the year is a healthy covering for all the major home platforms, including the PC, but a complete no show for anything handheld. Japan has obviously been letting the side down in 2009 as after last year's RPG dominated list only one true RPG, and a western RPG at that, makes it onto the list.

Anyways, the list runs in reverse order, so if you're highly impatient and just want to know what claimed the top spot, then leap on down to the bottom. But have a read through, see what games ended up where and then have your say on the list.

So, what made it into the Gamingforce Game of the Year Top 10, well let's start with number 10 shall we, and our first tied position:

10-. Muramasa: The Demon Blade
[ Wii | Ignition Entertainment ]



---------------------------

10-. Street Fighter IV
[ Multi | Capcom ]



---------------------------

9. Bionic Commando
[ Multi | Capcom ]



---------------------------

8. Modern Warfare 2
[ Multi | Infinity Ward ]



---------------------------

7. GTA: Episodes From Liberty City
[ 360 | Rockstar North ]



---------------------------

6. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
[ Wii | Nintendo ]



---------------------------

5. Dragon Age: Origins
[ Multi | Bioware ]



---------------------------

3-. Left 4 Dead 2
[ Multi | Valve ]



---------------------------

3-. Uncharted 2: Among Theives
[ PS3 | Naughty Dog ]



---------------------------

2. Borderlands
[ Multi | Gearbox Entertainment ]



---------------------------

1. Batman: Arkham Asylum
[ Multi | RockSteady ]

---------------------------

So there you have it, the Gamingforce Game of the Year 2009 Top 10. So what should have been there, what shouldn't have? What was too high, and what was too low? Start the discussion/bitching...

Thanks to everyone who took part in the voting stage. Not sure I'll be doing this again next year, but we'll see.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Glad Muramasa made it up there though; did it tie with Street Fighter or what?

I should have perhaps made it clearer that it was a tied position, but yes, both position 10 and 3 are tied games.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
