Article:  Who Won What at the Golden Joystick Video Games Awards

Did you know there was a Golden Joystick Video Game Award recently held in London?  DId you also know that at this award event, a game won as the Ultimate Video Game, competing against Call of Duty: Black Ops, as well as other video games?   The game that won this Golden Joystick Video Game award was Portal 2, a puzzle game developed by Valve and published by Electronics Arts. This game won in the Alienware Game of the Year category.

The ultimate game of the year at this awards event is synonmous with a movie winning  the best picture in the academy awards. According to the author of this article,  Call of Duty:  Black Ops had to settle for taking the prize as the best shooter game.

There were other awards won during this event, including Sports game of the year won by Fifa 2011, Racing Game of the Year won by Grand Turismo 5 and Strategy Game of the Year won by Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty.

Ms. H's take:  I am not famiiar with Portal 2, so I'm unable to give you my personal viewpoint of this game.  However, I do think, in my opinion, that  it's a little too early to decide an ultimate game of the year when we have a few months left in 2011!
