Did the image of someone trying to take down a train with a sword and shield while talking about the Mario series refusing to die, happen to be a subtle dig at the Zelda series refusing to die? (Spirit Tracks, anyone?) Or am I reading too much into this?

Yahtzee, you are absolutely brilliant and I hereby declare all other lists-of-the-year on other sites as obsolete. Especially that one from gamespot which puts Demon'ssssss souls at the best game spot.

Oh, and for next year, please *do* make little statues. I'd loved to have seen the vagina award...

Or, on second thought....

I'm suprised he didn't mention Asscreed 2

It's brilliant, damnit, and adresses all the problems of the dull-but-enjoyable original!

Happy new year, ZP

Is it me, or Yahtzee talks significantly slower on this one..? Regardless, good choice for the Best Game award. Batman deserves the doggie biscuit.

To be fair, the future shown in Back to the Future Part 2 was based on an altered timeline skewed by the events of the first movie. If 2015 comes around and we don't yet have flying cars and hoverboards it merely indicates that those innovations were inspired by the science fiction writings of George McFly, which in our timeline were never published.

Alternatively, we may be living in the "Eastwood Ravine" timeline, whose future past 1985 was never shown.

Bit surprised Dragon Age: Origins wasn't on here for the "Most Likely to Make your Girlfriend Break Up With You" award.

But yeah, 2009 has been a pretty suck year for Video Games, at least most of 2009 at least. I think the only 2009 release I actually bought was Prototype, and aside from that I've just been playing the games I didn't get around to playing in 2008.

Odd part of it is, I was kind of expecting Batman: Arkham Asylum for the winner for this year, for him. So Congratulations on surviving this year, and I hope the next year runs smoothly for us all. Hoping ze horseman of Apocalypse game is good >.>

Borderlands while not perfect is a really great game that has brought something new to the console generation, fun/fast paced coop gameplay.

Anyone else having problems with the audio? The music comes on strong then when Yahtzee starts talking I can't hear a damn thing.

heh. Loved the clever award names. Batman was probably a solid choice, but I get the feeling that Yahtzee got jobbed by release schedules...

And Wet being the worst? Oh, come on, it was fun for about 30 minutes. I can think of games where they were so bad I almost was in physical pain from the moment I started playing them.

Hey Yahtzee, perhaps now that you have an iPhone you will make a way to watch ZP on it.
I know since I first got mine I have been lording it over the masses and smiling bloated self worth smiles, but when I try to prove a point... non-verbally, using ZP I can not. For shame!

Good reviews though, I agree all around except I never played the Bat game and especially including how awesome Saints Row 2 is.

Yahtzee, you're a fricking deadpan genius mate and your delivery is excellent. "Racism for legs" reminds me of Chris Morris, and I love the way you say it. Keep it up you'll be properly famous soon, (i.e. outside the internet).
I also have had the impending arrival of the year Marty goes to in Back to the Future 2 in my mind recently, I think I'll feel quite proud when it arrives like I've achieved something impressive.

Except that consoles have been doing that since last gen. More so even.

Sadly, the quantum state flux capacitor needed Duke Nukem forever to keep...fluxing. Yes fluxing, so we cannot retrieve the game from its state of quantum...ism.
