Gino D:

Most Innovative: Wii Fit

Runner's Up: Patapon, de Blob

Comments: It sure wasn't Nintendo's year, but Wii Fit remains as one strong contender in changing the way people see games. It's gotten critical acclaim, invading even the non-gaming market with its yoga exercises.


Isaac C:

Most Innovative: World of Goo

Runner's Up: LittleBigPlanet, Mirror's Edge

Comments: World of Goo is not only aesthetically innovative, but gameplay is also brilliant.


Mabie A:

Most Innovative: LittleBigPlanet

Comments: When I first saw Sackboy back in 2006, I was like, "dude, what the hell, that's ugly!" Yeah, dolls made out of sack aren't exactly that enticing, the animated ones especially. They're like what your halloween toy nightmares are made of. Sort of like Chucky the pervert evil doll. But after two years of painstaking development, voila. they've bloomed into the beautiful, adorable Sackpeople that they are now. No doubt about it, though, what made this special is the fact that it gives you the creative power to create your own games/levels. Sorta like TRL, but that's been pulled out from MTV now, so, yeah.


Karl B:

Most Innovative: Left 4 Dead

Comments: Left 4 Dead - Yeah, co-op isn't new, but what I like about Left 4 Dead is that it really forces you to cooperate with your teammates. If you go Halo-style in this game, you're nothing but zombie food.


Glenn M:

Most Innovative: LittleBigPlanet

Comments: Spearheading an entirely new gaming genre, LittleBigPlanet is hands down the most innovative game of the year.. the idea is simply inspired, and it's just amazing how far one can take one's creativity and applying it into a game. I remember seeing this littlebiggradius video - completely blew me away.. never saw a game like this coming...


Chris C:

Most Innovative: LittleBigPlanet

Runners Up: The World Ends With You, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

Comments: Awarding the top spot in this category to anything other than LBP would be criminal, there's simply never, ever been a game quite like it. When Phil showed this off at GDC, it felt like gaming had changed forever.

# what was that joke about UT3? — NarooN 2009-01-01 08:22
Did you guys vote that last year or something, cuz it came out Dec. 2007.

Hey Gino, the Wii fit isn't a game last time I checked... it's a peripheral.

# Wrong — god0fgod 2009-01-01 10:06
The balance board is a peripheral. Wii Fit is a game to use it.

# yup — reyknow 2009-01-01 10:34
the balance board is the peripheral, wii fit the

game.



but seems thats the only game for it anyway so might as well call the board wii fit.



i imagine that thing gathering up dust in a few months.

# Actually.... — Devil Outlaw 2009-01-01 13:01
Isn't that new Raving Rabbids game compatible with the balance board? O.o



I'm sure it was demonstrating it in the advert I saw

I'm not a big fan of this game but it deserved props because it's a new and different experience.

Might be talking about the 360 version which came out during Summer 08 and didn't have user created content.



An Unreal Tournament without user created maps, mods and game types - doesn't seem right at all.

# erm — chessboxer 2009-01-02 01:41
cool choices but Home isn't a game. It's a service much like Folding@Home/Life with PlayStation.

# LBP — HDRasta 2009-01-02 02:52
so much fun. can't keep my hands away from it.

# More games than that... — SonnySoul 2009-01-02 02:53
Wii Fit isn't the only game for the balance board, you've got Shaun White Snowboarding which is cool, plus others coming out all the time. Think there's Skate It too.

# Hey? — SonnySoul 2009-01-02 03:03
And what exactly is so innovative about UT3?

Reply
 

 
# @ SonnySoul — chessboxer 2009-01-02 05:47
There is nothing innovative about UT3 on the 360.

Reply
 

 
# Hmm — SonnySoul 2009-01-03 03:06
I think some of the readers here are confused. UT3 may be a good game but that doesn't mean it's innovative.



Find the definition of innovative before posting comments on subjects you don't understand.



P.S. Not aiming this at you chessboxer.
