Game of the Year : Burnout Paradise (mostly because it has lasted for literally the whole year with all the updates).

PS3 GotY : LittleBigPlanet (should be a game that people are still playing for years depending when/if a sequel comes out).

360 GotY : Don't own or play the 360 and have no interest in the games, so no answer here.

Wii GotY : Mario Kart Wii (MK fan from the start. Can't compare to the SNES original but still good).

Multiplatform GotY : Burnout Paradise

RPG : Not a big RPG fan and didn't play any from this year.

FPS : Not a big FPS fan and have yet to purchase one this year. Was in private and public beta for Resistance 2 so it'll be my pick as I will be buying it.

Action/Adventure : Metal Gear Solid 4 (it was this or GTA4 and GTA felt like more of the same from last gen).

Platformer : LittleBigPlanet (good to see the genre making a bit of a comeback this year).

Sports : NHL 09 (it's hockey. I'm Canadian. It deserves it regardless).

Racing : Burnout Paradise (well duh).

GOTY + PS3 GOTY: 戦場のヴァルキュリア

Wii GOTY: No More Heroes

DS GOTY: すばらしきこのせかい

PSP GOTY: Patapon

If you don't want to count the last 3 since they had '07 JPN releases, then it would be Brawl, Bangai-O Spirits and Echochrome.

The PS3 game you're nominating is Valkyria Chronicles, if I'm reading that, right?

I'd place my Wii GOTY as Tales of Symphonia 2, but Mario Kart, Brawl, and No More Heroes is close to that.

Goty: Undecided
PS3 Goty: N/A
360 Goty: Mirror's Edge
Wii Goty: Okami. If we aren't counting ports, I guess Brawl as it's the only other Wii game I picked up this year.
PC: Left 4 Dead/Fallout 3

Best FPS: Left 4 Dead
Best RPG: Fallout 3
Best Action/Adventure: Mirror's Edge
Best Platformer: Mirror's Edge (haven't played LBP yet)
Best RTS: Sins of a Solar Empire

Most Anticipated of '09: Mass Effect 2

Overall, this was a pretty lackluster year, when compared to 2007.

Cool. I figured I was going to be the only one to show some Burnout Paradise love.
