Who would you have?

I can dig this result. Uncharted 2 is a big technical achievement. And, as has been hinted at in many reviews, put Naughty Dog right up there with the best of 'em.

Looking back at the thread I said Capcom for Street Fighter, Resi, Street Fighter 2 HD remix and Marvel vs Capcom, ya know, more than one game.

I would also have settled for Valve with L4D2 and never ending TF 2 support.

But isn't it better to make one incredibly polished game and pack it with loads of features, then support it extensively, than to just make a load of games?

Like Valve with Team Fortress 2?

And of course making 'a load of games' doesn't entitle them to it, but games of the high quality of Street Fighter IV or Resi (in co-op, it was brilliant) all add up therefore showing the diversity and prowess of a development studio, which in my mind this award should be celebrating, much more than putting out one game no matter how refined and polished it might be.

No matter how good Halo: Reach is next year I probably wouldn't call Bungie the best developer of 2010 if another company releases three or four very good games and shows off their diversity.

I do agree. But this time it's understandable surely? Naughty Dog have created a fantastic technical showcase, crafted a high-rollicking story around it with great characters and catapulted themselves to the top table of video game development. Quite a year for 'em. One game or no.

He enjoyed the game as well but said it both forwards the industry technically but also hurts it by moving games closer to Hollywood, blurring the lines in such a way that it starts to lose its identity as a game.

What a joke.

Hans Zimmer's soundtrack for MW2 is great!

Buffalo wrote:Eagle eyed amongst you will note that I have omitted an award category, that of "Biggest Disappointment of 2009". I believe that such negativity isn't healthy, so I have decided to not include. Don't ask me what won it, because I didn't bother counting the votes.
Of course, if you want to know - really, really want to - I guess I could do it
