Now we’re on the verge of wrapping up 2009, it’s time to reflect on what’s been and gone this year. The good times. The bad times. The community. The tears. The pain. The typing in pants at 4.00am. The megatons. The games. The companies. The faces. The CMS telling people to stop posting so quickly. The glory times.
For VG247, 2009 has been exceptional, mainly for the strength of its ever-growing community. We’re nothing without you, so these awards are our way of saying thank you. We hope you had fun. If you’ve won a prize, mail patrick [at] vg247.com with your address, and I’ll make sure you get it before Christmas.
To the game-makers and publishers included this year, we want to say a massive congratulations for everything you’ve achieved in the past 12 months. These awards are purely based on reader votes. Your tiny plastic trophy, straight from the heart of the VG247 community, is on its way.
Big up. Here’s to 2010!

I asked a question.
Psychotext said:
I voted for the other one in the “Most likely to be the real Mike” award.
Sorry.
Blerk said:
I voted you in the “who do you think that guy who keeps trying to sell us shoes REALLY is?” category, Mike.
Len said:
Lol…louboutin man!
Mike said:
Thanks, Blerk and Psycho. You do it because you care.

Blerk said:
Pat is God? Man, that explains the beard. And a few other things too, come to think of it.
Johnny Cullen said:
If Pat was God, he’d be dead by now, as he got rid of the beard.
Blerk said:
I didn’t realise God’s hair length had an impact on his omnipotence. I shall be sure to be packing a pair of clippers next time he threatens to smite me.
reask said:
Congratz Everyone.
@ Tea.
Thanks for the gesture mate but you take them and enjoy.
You know the site wouldn’t be the same without you imo.
You can dish it out but you can take it as well so enjoy your win you deserve it.
I gave you a nod for best fanboy as well because you are, so be proud and loud Tea and get into Forza 3.
Who knows you may become an Xbot,
Just noticed, that Second last bit rhymed.
Im a poet and I dont Know it.
JonFE said:
Kudos everyone!
Unless I’m mistaken, each member I voted for in the first 5 categories won, while I didn’t get anything on the remaining 4; I guess I pay more attention to the members of the site than the games it covers…
Retroid said:
Late congrats, people! \o/
Blerk’s been going on about getting DJ Hero, seriously. He’s going to slam those beats into the bassline, daddio. So he said.
Or he could’ve been talking about using root vegetables as bait for salt water fishing.
DaMan said:
so what bdh was saying is that it wasn’t actually Pat’s decision not to ban him, but the Jesus’ will. oh well.
btw, I’ve voted noone in The Beast category.
Cort said:
Oh well, message received loud and clear. Will try and moderate both tone and number of my posts.
Michael O’Connor said:
I really have no idea why you got that Cort, personally.
I mean, BDH and TEA probably got 99% of the votes. Some asshats probably just put your name in a few times, and since the two most obvious candidates were out of the way… =P
Mike said:
I didn’t know TEA used youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePNra7CKaNQ
Lutz said:
I knew I should have hung around here longer.
(Stupid, stupid work)
Psychotext said:
Kill em all Lutz. Let god deal with em.
Cort said:
Thanks O’Connor. Wouldn’t have been bothered if my name was under ‘fanboy’, but surprised and disappointed to learn that some at least think I meet the Shatner criteria.
This will be my last post though I’ll still read the best damned gaming blog in teh world.
Psychotext said:
F’that. I can’t imagine why anyone would have voted for you on that one.
Maybe your crazy twin Crot.
Cort said:
Er, before I go….
I’m absolutely not leaving in a petulant huff, scout’s honour.
Michael O’Connor said:
Don’t leave.
blackdreamhunk said:
vg247 is not like the other gaming sites, they like to have other peoples views.
not everyone agrees and sees the world the same as you do, or other people.
the people who hate me are people who don’t like the truth.
agin I never did get along with bully’s and I am glade the world can see the truth.

sites like vg247 gives me alot hope for humanity. Humanity still has that flame of goodness in it.
OlderGamer said:

@72 LOL Cort you couldn’t stand the heat so you got out of the kitchen. Cry us a river!
Johnny Cullen said:
Have we settled on a mod yet?
Gekidami said:
Sites starting to get overrun with ad bots.
Johnny Cullen said:
I’m handling it on the site, although the sooner we get a mod in for the forums, the better.
Gekidami said:
I was considering the forums as apart of the site but yeah, its mainly the forums.
Johnny Cullen said:
The forums are broke off from the site. It’s probably the reason why there hasn’t been a universal login for both in the past couple of months.
This will be fixed when we come back though. At least I am fairly certain it is anyways.
Mike said:
I’ve just cleaned it all up. No spam on the forums, atm.
reask said:
Nice one Mike.
the amount of spam was unbelievable.
