Halo 3 has been selected as the computer title that has done the most to further the creative culture of gaming in the past 12 months.
Bungie picked up the Edge Award for Innovation at this year's Edinburgh Interactive Festival for the release of Halo 3.
The first-person shooter was chosen from a shortlist which also included Grand Theft Auto IV, Rock Band and Wii Fit among other successful titles.
Edge stated that one of the reasons why the title was chosen was because of its use of online content.
Alex Wiltshire, deputy editor of Edge, said: "Halo 3, just as Halo 2 did before it, presents a roadmap for the way online will be integrated into videogames in the coming years.
"The game has been incredibly successful and attracted millions of fans, but we shouldn't overlook all of the ideas that are present in the game, and the remarkably robust manner in which they are presented."
Halo 3 is an exclusive title for the Xbox 360.
