Trials HD Climbs To Top Of Best XBLA Games For 2009 List
If you thought Shadow Complex was the best release on Xbox Live Arcade last year, you are unbelievably wrong. You should build a rocket and blast yourself to the moon, in fact. According to a recent Xbox Live Arcade poll, Trials HD was the best overall arcade game. Microsoft’s Major Nelson says that more than a million users voted in the poll, which means that the results cannot possibly be questioned.
Shadow Complex did pick up a pair of awards, along with Battlefield 1943 and Trials HD.
Here are the rest of the results:
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
