Fallout 3 was probably my personal favorite game of 2008, and was apparently thousands of other gamer’s favorite game as well. The winners of the Golden Joystick Awards has been announced with Fallout 3 winning overall game of the year.

The voting is entirely community driven and decided by the total number of user votes, which was 1,223,646. There were a number of other categories with some other key 2008 titles winning those, and are as follows:

I agree with most of these for those I’ve played, but what do you think? Outrage? Cries of favoritism? Comment!
