Best Action/Adventure – Uncharted 2

Best Shooter (non-FPS) – Metal Gear Solid 4

Best Racing – Gran Turismo 4, the Forza games come in close, though

Best Rhythm/Dance/Music – Rock Band 2

Best Survival Horror – Dead Space

Most Important Game of the Decade

Most Important Game of the Decade – Grand Theft Auto 3, this game opened up soo many doors, I will be surprised if this game doesn’t win this. It literally opened the floodgates for the numerous open-structure sandbox titles since.

Most Important Platformer

Most Important Action/Adventure – GTA3, as mentioned above

Most Important First Person Shooter – Halo. Though I never really liked the game, it did pave the way for future console FPS titles.

Most Important Sports – NFL 2K5, $20 for a full game on release, and it was better than the $50 Madden title. This was an important one because it was the last real competition Madden titles had, until EA bought off the NFL rights and monopolized the market.

Most Important Racing – I’d probably give this one to Forza 2, because it really showed Gran Turismo that it’s not the only big boy in town, and they had amazingly simple and robust Livery customization. I’ve spent hours on that game.

Most Important Rhythm/Dance/Music – Guitar Hero, this really broke through in a big way and gained big popularity. This was one of those games that went from a targeted niche market to mainstream almost instantly. Best game still goes to Rock Band 2, though, because of the 1000+ song library you can download (the game has the best DLC backing of any game to date) and the first Rock Band was the first time a game like that had an entire band you can play.

Most Important Survival Horror – Dead Space. This game was a new IP from EA. It was definitely one of the freakiest titles and was a blast to play. For being a new IP, it did manage to show true promise and was able to deliver on such promises. As to whether or not Dead Space 2 will be able to capitalize on that is to be determined. It broke free of the survival horror mold and went with over the shoulder camera view (similar to Resident Evil 4) and was much faster paced. Definitely a great game.

Most Important Multiplayer – This one, undoubtedly, goes to Battlefield 1942. This was the first game that allowed you to control multiple vehicles as well as run on foot in first person. All online. This game allowed you to control ships (destroyers and aircraft carriers), submarines, fighters, bombers, tanks, jeeps, APCs, use fixed cannon positions, artillery, and other fixed gun emplacements. Out oif all the games I’ve ever played, this one I probably played the most.
