30th Annual Golden Joysticks – The Winners

The 30th Annual Golden Joysticks were held today. Game developers, PR and journalists got scrubbed up in their glad rags and gathered in a London hotel to find out which games were voted the best by 4 million gamers.

Or at least, 4 million gamers who will happily vote on whatever game their mates like.

And the winners are…

Best Action/Adventure: Batman Arkham City (fair enough)

Best Strategy: Civilzation 5: Gods & Kings (yup)

Best Mobile/Tablet: Angry Birds Space (I actually heard good things about it)

Best Downloadable: Minecraft (360) (ROBBED! <3 Journey. Okay, Minecraft 360 is actually pretty good)

Best Fighting: Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition (whateves)

Best shooter: Battlefield 3 (I’ve had a copy since December. Should really play it this year)

Best MMO: World of Tanks (it’s well big)

Best Handheld: Uncharted: Golden Abyss (Meh. It was good for what it is and I gave it a GREAT! review but Wipeout 2048!)

One To Watch: Grand Theft Auto 5 (okay)

Best DLC: Portal 2: Perpetual Testing Initiative (Yeah, that’s pretty cool)
