Microsoft held an award ceremony at GDC 2008 to celebrate the Xbox live arcade platform and amongst the winners was the arcade-style maze-based Bomberman Live, which scooped the top award.
26,000 people voted and the finalists were chosen by a panel of select industry journalists (not us). Six categories were chosen by vote and the final four categories by sales and gameplay data.
