+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted January 3, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 3, 2010 Good, Bad, and Ugly in Gaming: the 2009 Golden Ars Awards Want to know which game had its hype deflated the quickest, which game was missing a dimension, which game had the most butthurt fans, and which game was most likely to ruin a relationship? Check out the 2009 Golden Ars Awards recognizing the good, the bad, and the ugly from the world of gaming. The gaming staff at Ars Technica has spent the past few weeks trying to avoid the multitudes of gaming lists that have been flooding the RSS feeds. Everyone has a pick for game of the year, and many sites are giving us lists for game of the decade. Since everyone has a different idea about what constitutes a game of the year, people invariably go into those lists with a firm idea of what they want to see... and then they head to the comments to duke it out. But the holidays should be about caring, and love, and inclusion! With that in mind, we're going to hand out a wide variety of awards, both good and bad, to show just what we loved and, well, didn't love this year. 2009 was crazy, so let's begin with the 2009, year-end Golden Ars awards.
