GDC08: Xbox LIVE Arcade Awards
This year's GDC has just been chock full of awards and last night was no different. Xbox revealed the winners in it's first ever Xbox Live Arcade awards. The finalists for each category were decided up on by a select group of game journalists (no, Tiny and I weren't involved although I can't imagine why) and then the vote was opened up to the public where over 26,000 Xbox LIVE users picked their favorites. Pac-Man, Castlevania and Bomberman dominated the list with a quick appearance by Worms and two appearances by everyones favorite Mutant Turtles. Make the jump to check out the entire list of winners!
