Critically-acclaimed classics Mass Effect 2 and Heavy Rain have been named among the winners at the Spring 2010 Family Gamer Awards (FGAs).
Developer BioWare's epic space opera sequel was picked out as this spring's best title for players aged over 18, while Quantic Dream's PlayStation 3 narrative drama was selected as the top pick for parents.
Mass Effect 2, which is available on Xbox 360 and PC, was described as a "branching, diverse yet focused and compelling" experience which is "unequalled".
The epic game follows the continuing adventures of spacefaring hero Commander Shepard in a story shaped by character relationships and moral choices.
Similarly, Heavy Rain also won acclaim for its branching storyline, which centres on several characters whose lives are torn apart by a murder mystery, with the FGAs praising the title for its "real moments of emotion and decision".
Both titles have proven to be commercial successes as well, topping the all-formats chart in their debut weeks earlier this year.
