Some years it's hard to come up with a clear-cut winner, because there aren't games that stand out in a particular category. This year, for almost every award, it's been hard to pick just one to take the crown as the best in that group. The TXB staff fussed and debated, they yelled and slammed things down, they furiously IMed and e-mailed among themselves… and what follows are TXB's selections.
• Best Action Game of the Year -- Crackdown
• Best Shooter of the Year -- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
• Best Role-Playing Game of the Year -- Mass Effect
• Best Sports Game of the Year -- NHL 08
• Best Racing Game of the Year -- Forza Motorsport 2
• Best Fighting Game of the Year -- Virtua Fighter 5
• Best Music/Rhythm/Party Game of the Year -- Rock Band
• Best Multiplayer Game of the Year -- Halo 3
• Best Sleeper Hit of the Year -- Crackdown
• Best Xbox Live Arcade of the Year -- Switchball
• Best Graphics of the Year -- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
• Best Sound of the Year -- BioShock
• Best Visual Style of the Year -- BioShock
• Best Story of the Year -- Mass Effect
• Best Hardware/Peripheral of the Year -- Xbox 360 Elite System
• Developer of the Year -- Infinity Ward
• Game of the Year -- Mass Effect
