Fallout 3 Wins Game of the Year Award
Bethesda Softworks scored big at the 9th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards as its epic post-apocalyptic open-world adventure, “Fallout 3,” received the Game of the Year Award. The award was presented at a ceremony this evening at Think Service Game Group’s 2009 Game Developers Conference (GDC). Bethesda also received the Best Writing award for the game.
Media Molecule’s imaginative user creation-centric platform game “LittleBigPlanet,” which was first unveiled at GDC 2007, was the recipient of the most awards of the evening, taking four awards for Best Game Design, Best Technology, Best Debut Game and Innovation Award.
Other winners included Ubisoft’s hauntingly beautiful update of the “Prince of Persia” franchise, which won the prize for Best Visual Arts, and Ready at Dawn’s portable action-adventure, “God of War: Chains of Olympus,” winner of the Best Handheld Game award. EA Redwood Shores’ shocking horror title, “Dead Space,” won the prize for Best Audio award.
The Game Developers Choice Awards, which honor the very best games of the year, are voted on by developers and created for developers. They are produced and hosted by the GDC and presented by Gamasutra.com and Game Developer Magazine, with the aid of a distinguished Advisory Committee that includes many of the world’s top game creators, and each award is decided by thousands of votes from game professionals worldwide.
