Best Game of 2009 Tournament

The Best Game of 2009 Tournament was hosted by Raven in early 2010. Only two games would make any upsets, which were #11 seeded GTA: Chinatown Wars beating Brutal Legend, and #11 seeded Madworld beating #6 seeded Halo 3: ODST and #3 seeded Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. Other notable feats included Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box beating Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story in double overtime, as well as Resident Evil 5 beating Borderlands in double overtime as well. It was the first Game of the Year tournament in which all four #1 seeds would make the final four. The contest was won by Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, which defeated Batman: Arkham Asylum in the championship match. This would be the first GotY victory for a PS3 exclusive.
