Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb has posted the winners of the annual Xbox Live Arcade Awards and Trials HD took the prize for “Best Overall Arcade Game.”

The other winners, as voted on by Xbox Live users, can be found right here:

• Best Overall Arcade Game: Trials HD
• Best Classic/Remake: Banjo-Tooie
• Best Competitive Multiplayer: Battlefield 1943
• Best Co-Operative Multiplayer: Battlefield 1943
• Best Family Game: Hasbro Family Game Night
• Best Graphics: Shadow Complex
• Best Innovation: Trials HD
• Best Original Game: Splosion Man
• Best Solo Game: Shadow Complex

This week would be a great time to give one of these new classics a shot as Hryb also revealed that this will be the first Wednesday in a very long time without a new XBLA game.
