The Games of 2006 Awarded

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday December 20, 2006 @10:39AM from the put-on-your-fancy-hats dept.

It's almost the end of the year, and various organizations are handing out awards for what has been a very busy year in gaming. The Associated Press handed the top honor to Oblivion, while Gamasutra's Quantum Leap awards gave Wii Sports the nod for bringing the whole family together. Gamespy and Gamespot are still in the midst of handing out the prizes, but you can already check out genre winners at Gamespy, and Gamespot's list of dubious honors for games that only deserve the faintest of praise.

I am still sad to see Oblivion win, though, as it shows such a bias toward PC "style" gaming
My god, have you actually played Oblivion? It is so glaringly obvious that it's NOT DESIGNED FOR PC. Notice the huge font that only allows 5 or so items to be displayed?, the limited key configuration?, the stupid little mini-games?. They designed Oblivion for console and left PC gamers who are used to much more in depth RPG's out in the dark.
