Festivitatea de premiere a avut loc Marti seara in Londra. Printre laureati un loc important l-a ocupat Call of Duty 4 care a primit doua titluri castigatoare: Best Gameplay si Best Story and Character. Jocul a castigat aceste titluri prin vot public pe site, 60.000 de persoane au votat la GAME Award.
Surpriza serii a fost Super Mario Galaxy care a castigat titlul de jocul anului. Un alt lucru la care nimeni nu se astepta a fost ca GTA IV sa plece acasa fara niciun premiu, dar asa s-a intamplat, in ciuda faptului ca a fost nominalizat la mai multe categorii.
