Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 bagged the 'one to watch' award.
Soundtrack of the year went to Guitar Hero: World Tour while innovation platform game LittleBigPlanet scooped family game of the year.

The awards themselves, now in their 27th year, also made it into the Guinness Record Books as the World's Most Popular Video Game Awards, with more than 1.2m votes cast.
FULL LIST OF WINNERS

Continue reading the main story
  • Family game of the year: LittleBigPlanet
  • Bliss handheld game of the year: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
  • Retailer of the year: GAME
  • Mobile game of the year: Metal Gear Solid Touch
  • Nintendo game of the year: Call of Duty: World at War

  • ShortList one to watch: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  • Ultimate game of the year, together with Zavvi.co.uk: Fallout 3
The awards are split across 15 categories and are voted for by UK gamers.
Economic confidence
Activision Blizzard, who are responsible for Call of Duty and Guitar Hero, were named publisher of the year.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for Nintendo DS won handheld game of the year.
Gamers in the UK spent £2.7bn on gaming in the past year, boosting an already growing confidence in the industry.
Organiser of the Golden Joystick Awards Emma Parkinson said: "The games industry remains innovative and vibrant despite economic pressures.
"Many of the winners at the Golden Joystick's demonstrate that UK talent remains crucial to the success of this industry across the globe and must be nurtured at all cost."
To qualify for an award games had to be released between May 2008 and May 2009.
The only exception is the 'one to watch' award which covers games released since then.
Former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis handed out the first Golden Joystick awards in 1982.
At the video game Baftas in February, Super Mario Galaxy won the best game but Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was the big winner, scooping three awards including people's choice and best gameplay.

By far the best game to come out between May 08 & 09. I think next year will be tougher; what with MW2, AC2, U2 all being guaranteed blockbusters.

Re: Fallout 3 crowned 'game of the year'
I'm a big fan of the GTA and MGS series, but it was this game that really surprised me. It was one hell of an experience, and in my opinion the best game on the PS3.

Re: Fallout 3 crowned 'game of the year'
Couldn't agree more with that decision, great game and hoping they'll make a Fallout 4 down the line.

Re: Fallout 3 crowned 'game of the year'
I've had Fallout 3 since release day but only got round to giving it a proper playthrough in the last few days. Completed the main story as well as quite a few sidequests. I thought the end was fitting.

Re: Fallout 3 crowned 'game of the year'
Batman: Arkham Asylum, Killzone 2 & LBP would have been my choices, I didn't get into Fallout at all.
