Before I announce the Game of the Year 2009, let me just remind you of the nominees...

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Modern Warfare 2

The Beatles: Rock Band

FIFA 10

Assassin's Creed 2

And the Game of the year is...

Modern Warfare 2

Easily the most anticipated game of the year, Modern Warfare 2 sold over 4 million copies in it's first week. Made $500 Million in it first day. And guess what? It is one heck of a game. The campaign carries on the explosive story from Call of Duty 4 taking you to some amazing places around the world and providing some excellent moments. The addition of Spec Ops also allows you to compete in some really fun 'mini-games' with a friend. However, Modern Warfare 2's strongest point by far is it's multiplayer. Call of Duty 4 was so popular so to top that is an achievement none (including me) thought they could pull off. The inclusion of new killstreaks, fun maps and completely balanced gameplay offer an experience that none other games can come close. Congrats to Infinity Ward, and Modern Warfare 2- Game of the Year 2009.
