Not going to go through any of that nominee crap, so here the winners are:

There really is no contest this year for best graphics. It brings forth a level of graphics that immediately made me think "WOW how did they do these graphics?", especially during snow levels. Eat your heart out Crysis. 
 
 
Best Multiplayer

This game IS multiplayer. If you're playing this game solo with the AI you're missing out on all the fun. It may seem like it's a bit of a cop-out to pick a game like that for best multiplayer, but considering I had a complete blast going through the campaigns a dozen times with various friends, and scavenge mode is an extremely tense thrill ride, I have no guilt. Winner right here. 
 
 
Best Exclusively Downloadable Game

Battlefield 1943 kicks so much ass that I'd go as far as saying it is one of the best multiplayer shooters ever made. Infinite ammo, infinite sprint, balanced classes, fun as hell vehicles, and killer map design make this game a knockout punch for me. 
 
 
Game I kept playing and I don't know why

This game was a strange case for me. While it is definitely a competant, fun experience, I was never completely blown away by this game. Perhaps because it followed too closely to RE4 and it didn't surprise me at all, or because I'm miffed that there isn't any true single player experience to be had here. Yet, I completed the game 7 times, played insane amounts of the mercenaries and versus modes online, and unlocked the game's 1200/1200 achievements. There isn't anything "wrong" with this game, but for a game I supposedly wasn't completely grabbed by, I sure played a lot of it. Like over 100 hours... 
 
 
Biggest Let Down

Bionic Commando was originally a locked down candidate for best multiplayer because I had so much fun playing the demo. Some of the best multiplayer I've ever played, hands down. The big let down came when the full version came out and it shed light on two of the games biggest problems in that area. No ability to play on the same team as your friends online (outside of sheer luck), and the fact that nobody played it online. I know that last one isn't the game's fault, but it broke my heart. I love the multiplayer that is there. The game also has single player, but it's largely forgettable.

Surprised? Me too. This game snuck up on me BIG TIME. I originally completely wrote this game off because I thought it was just an "enhanced" port of the DS game,  a game that I had previously beaten and thought was alright but not quite "Mario" level of good for me. Boy was I ever wrong. As the last game that arrived into my home in 2009, it sure wasn't the least. It takes all the best parts from my favorite 2D mario games, and throws out all the parts from the DS game that just quite didn't work for me. Coupled with a revitalization of the difficulty in the series, fun boss battles, creative level design and secrets that throw me right back to when I was 5 years old sitting on the floor playing Super Mario Bros. on our 13 inch color TV. Thanks Nintendo for giving me what I've wanted all these years. 
 
 
Runner-up:    Left 4 Dead 2 
 

Note: I'm saving Bayonetta for my 2010 game of the year awards, but know that if I did try to swing all sorts of technicalities about it being a 2009 game, it would have won for sure. 
 
 
That's it guys. Thanks for reading.
