PSP Snubbed at Golden Joysticks

The video games industry was recognized as the fastest-growing entertainment medium in the world today at the world's most popular video game awards show. The 27th annual Golden Joystick Awards were announced in London, with Fallout 3 coming out as the big winner for 2009.\n\nFallout 3 was crowned \"Ultimate Game of the Year\", whilst Call of Duty continued its annual winning streak with a hat-trick of lesser accolades.\n\nAs games continue to increase in popularity, organizers of the Golden Joystick Awards reported a 47% surge in voting, with over 1.2m votes cast in another record breaking year.\n\nThe popular Call of Duty series once again proved it was a fan favorite, scooping a trio of awards in 2009. Call of Duty: World at War won \"Multiplayer Game of the Year\" and \"Nintendo Game of the Year.\" (was that really the best game they could find for the Wii?). The forthcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 looks set to rule Christmas 2009, bagging the \"One to Watch\" award.\n\nThe haul of awards for Activision Blizzard continued with Guitar Hero: World Tour winning \"Soundtrack of the Year\", while the gaming giant rounded-off its haul with \"Publisher of the Year\".\n\nThere was strong showing for UK-developed titles, as \"Family Game of the Year\" was taken by Guildford-based Media Molecule for LittleBigPlanet on PlayStation 3 - an innovative platform game voiced by Stephen Fry. \"Handheld Game of the Year\" was won by Rockstar Leeds' Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for Nintendo DS. Unfortunately, the Sony PSP was snubbed for the second year in a row. The \"UK Developer of the Year\" category saw Cambridge company Jagex smash all-comers as the makers of Runescape - the biggest free massively multiplayer online role-playing game in the world - outflanked rivals in the category by an overwhelming margin.\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nFallout 3 presented a post-apocalyptic Washington DC for players to explore, not so different from the current day. \n\n
