    Game of The Year: Uncharted 2 (probably but its not my favorite)
    Best FPS: MW2 (probably cause everyone plays it)
    Best RPG: Borderlands or Dragon Age (I prefer border but DAO is awesome too)
    Best Racing Game: Forza 3 (No doubt)
    Best Fighter: Street fighter 4 followed by Tekken 6 (The 2 are sick)
    Best Online: MW2 / L4D 2 (2 good online experience)
    Best Graphics: Batman Arkham Asylum
    Best Gameplay: Assassins Creed (thats my choice, but there's a lot of good choice here

    call of duty modern warfare 2 and uncharted 2 should be the best games of 2009.

    The Games that should be the best this year are either Uncharted 2 or Dragon age origins, no game this year can surpass those two (sorry AC and COD fans but that is the truth), Killzone 2 deserves the best sequel because it is a HUGE upgrade from the first Killzone.

    Uncharted 2 is definitely up there for me as well. Brutal Legend, KZ2, and SFIV were great as well. That said, I've not yet played Dragon Age, Assassin's Creed, or MW2 yet.

    Killzone 2 & Uncharted 2 for me. They where the best games I played this year.

    Borderlands compared to DAO is just an unworthy comparison. MW2 should win FPS, sports game FIFA 10 (NHL too similar to last year), fighting game should be street fighter IV. other categories I'm unsure about. Action game should be Uncharted 2 or Batman Arkham. other than that I dunno. DAO wins RPG and maybe game of the year.

    Probably going to be Modern Warfare 2 among readers and editors alike. But still. It's going to be close.

    score-wise the GOTY should be uncharted 2 (rated higher than mw2 and ac2)

    @bonereaper69 -- Mario Galaxy didn't win last year... because it didn't come out last year. And no, reader voting is not rigged. However, editors choose the official rewards; reader vote tally determines reader awards.

    Street fighter 4 for me!

    Hmm i guess i am the only one who liked bionic commando? The only dissapointing part was the fact that the last levels could have been better.

    wow, almost every game here i have tried, cept borderlands and uncharted(but i know enough from friends to tell there good), and all are great games. MW2 is crazy, l4d2 was even better than the first with the melee weapons, arkham asylum was hella fun too, but i got every oce in while tryin to figure out the riddlers riddles, professor layton and the diaboical box, another great puzzle games, but its not my type of game(prefer more action), dragon age origins is fun too with all the decisions you have to make, i hated gta chinatowns overhead view but got used to it and it was fun, i am not good with street fighter 4, i just dont flow with that game on the pc, asassin's creed 2's story is amazing, mario and luigi and new super bros have totally new ways to play which make them fun, resident evil 5 coop was great, never played online, played with my cuz and that was awesome. SO MANY FRIGGEN GOOD GAMES THIS YEAR WOO 2009!
