Over one million of you voted, and now the results for the third annual Xbox LIVE Arcade Awards are in. To make this reveal a little more exciting, try to picture Mr. Destructoid heroically tearing open a massive envelope to unveil the winning games. Got it? Good — here they are:
- Best Overall Arcade Game: Trials HD (Microsoft)
- Best Original Game: Splosion Man (Xbox LIVE Arcade)
- Best Family Game: Hasbro Family Game Night (Electronic Arts)
- Best Co-Operative Multiplayer: Battlefield 1943 (Electronic Arts)
- Best Competitive Multiplayer: Battlefield 1943 (Electronic Arts)
- Best Solo Game: Shadow Complex (Chair Entertainment/Microsoft Corp.)
- Best Innovation: Trials HD (Microsoft)
- Best Graphics: Shadow Complex (Chair Entertainment/Microsoft Corp.)
- Best Classic/Remake: Banjo-Tooie (Microsoft Game Studios)
Why yes, MGS and EA know a thing or two about putting out a quality digital product on Xbox 360. In a way, I’m kind of surprised that Trials HD nabbed the top honors. Not because it’s a bad game or anything — it’s actually quite phenomenal, in my eyes — but because it’s been billed as this underdog of sorts.
Nice going, everyone! Let’s hope next year’s list is more, uh, diverse.
