Best of 2005: The Gamespot Version 

Yes, I know you're really looking forward to my world famous "Best & Worst of 2005" feature, but while you await The Big Day, I'm going to advertise another well-known website's awards for this year, namely Gamespot's own prestigious honours list. I would like to mention a few favourites of mine that won awards, so if you would like to read the whole thing on their site please stop reading this post right now.

First, there was the Best Adventure award, which went to a favourite of mine this year, Fahrenheit (AKA Indigo Prophecy in the US). I would have been very surprised (and probably dismissed the whole "best of" list as a scam) if Civilization IV hadn't won the Best Strategy award; these past 15 years have been wonderful to Sid Meier's franchise! It also won the PC Game of the Year award, which is a great achievement, I think, since there were rather a lot of brilliant games released during 2005. God of War, not a typically Ingaroo-y game, won the overall Playstation 2 Game award, and deservedly so (even though I haven't made it past the first ten minutes yet).

If you want to, the Readers' Choice Awards just opened for voting, and the winners will be announced during the third week of January.

Current track: Queen - The Invisible Man
