One million have chosen the best XBLA games of 2009

The results are in, and over 1million people voted for their favorite XBLA titles of 2009. Below are the results for each category.

Best Overall Arcade Game: Trials HD
Best Original Game: Splosion Man
Best Family Game: Hasbro Family Game Night
Best Co-Operative Multiplayer: Battlefield 1943
Best Competitive Multiplayer: Battlefield 1943
Best Solo Game: Shadow Complex
Best Innovation: Trials HD
Best Graphics: Shadow Complex
Best Classic/Remake: Banjo-Tooie

The list is good, but there is one thing I don’t agree with: “Best Co-Operative Multiplayer: Battlefield 1943”. Don’t get me wrong, Battlefield 1943 is a very fun multiplayer experience, but I don’t feel that it fits into the Co-Operative multiplayer category. If I were to say, “Let’s play some co-op in halo 3”, would you think team deathmatch? No, you would think co-op campaign. If I said, “Let’s play Co-op in Modern Warfare 2”, what do you think? Spec-ops of course! Co-operative multiplayer is co-op in my opinion, not team based online competitive multiplayer. So based on that, I believe ‘Splosion Man should have won, because that had some fun co-op. But that’s just my opinion, clearly the majority of one million voters felt differently.
