2009 Games of the Year—so say indie podcasts

You’ve undoubtedly pored over, argued over, and fapped over the 2009 game awards bestowed by all the major gaming news outlets by now. But are you caught up on the selections of the people who really matter (namely, those who actually have to buy their own goddamn games and don’t get paid to play them)? If not, have I got a swell proposition for you…
While you eagerly await our Fourth Annual Sassy Awards (which we plan to record next week, after yet another week hiatus)–the game-of-the-year awards the internet has declared “the definitive word on the year’s finest bits of electronic entertainment,” we’ve compiled a group of similar year-end awards from some of our indie-podcasting comrades. For those shows who do a list of 10 or more, they’re whittled down to the top five selections. You’ll also find handy links to their sites, in case you want to give a listen and hear their rationale. Have a podcast and a list of your own awards? Shoot us an email and we’ll add them below.
