At this year's Game Developers Choice Awards, Gears of War stood head and huge padded shoulders over other nominees as it took home the Best Game award. Epic Studios' hit next gen videogame title also bagged awards for Visual Arts and Technology.

Clover Studio's PS2 title Okami and Nintendo's Wii Sports also got high accolades. Both games took home an award each for Innovation along with Bostjan Cadez's Flash title Line Rider. Okami also got an award for Character Design, while Wii Sports bagged a Game Design award.

Other major award winners included Harmonix and RedOctane's Guitar Hero II, which won an award for Audio. Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess walked away with the Writing award and Titan Quest developer Iron Lore Entertainment picked up the award for New Studio.

The Game Developers Awards are the only peer-based, open nomination awards program in the videogame industry today. Nominations are open to all members of the International Game Developers Association. The finalists chosen by the Choice Awards Advisory Board and the winners are finally voted on by IGDA members.

Of course Gears took the top awards, its the best TPS out there and the most technical advanced console game ever made. NOTHING COMES CLOSE.
