    Making irrelevant awards voted on by users, once again. That which sells best (SF, CC) is always bound to win because users voting tend to vote on games they own. So these type of "awards" are basically a pat on the back to the best-selling games, not the best games (although the two aren't always mutually exclusive). Or maybe I'm just bitter that Braid, which I consider by far the best Live game of 2008, only won a single award.

    A deserving winner. The most fun I had on the Arcade all year.

    I don't understand how a game that released with a game killing glitch(bye bye save data), one that wasnt fixed for over 4 months, won an award like that.

    @Daftmouse: Give them a break. They aren't a big studio. I think they had like what, three people working on the game? It takes time.

    Unfortunately for Behemoth the trophy is broken and in need of repair. They can expect a fixed trophy very soon...as in 14 months.

    Glad to see a lot of good games winning. I love XBLA games, short and sweet! I'm upset Bionic Commando: Rearmed or Soul Calibur not getting any sort of recognition, but still all is good :)


    I reallly like the XBLA service, can't wait for the spring arcade to show up!

    @FlagshipFighter: Yep, Bionic Commando: Rearmed is easily my favorite XBLA game of last year, and it along with Ikaruga deserved far more accolades than they received. I can't see how that spastic looking crappily animated SSFIIHDR won "Best Remake" over BC:R and "Best Graphics" in general.

    N+ all the way baby. Best game of this generation in my opinion. There is an N browser game and if they just tweaked it so that mouse click was jump it would work fully on the PS3 browser. That's the only thing stopping it.


    You can use the d-pad and it just needs click. Such a simple fix - as mouse click on PS3 is X it would feel work perfect.

    Where's Ikaruga? Where's Exelica?


    Guess it's a minor category so I shouldn't be too upset. I'm sure there'd been people banging on the XBLA guy's door if they ignored those and nominated the 1942 remake.

    Uhmm... Braid and Castle Crashers in Best Graphics? Are there really no games with good graphics? I don't say the graphics of those games doesn't fit or is bad, but it's simply nothing spectacular or breath-taking.

    @Naryoril:


    Braid's are and graphics are amazing, what crack are you smoking?


    And both Castle Crashers and Braid were made by 1 or 2 people. (Braid - 1 person / Castle Crashers - 2 people)


    Both art styles are amazing and very well made. Even though SF2HDR will most likely win, they definitely deserve to be nominated.

    @Darrisbob1 worked at WalMart once: SF2HDR does not deserve to win anything graphics related with its jittery animation and hideous art style. Rez, Ikaruga, Portal, and others should have been nominated in its place. Oh well.
