Let’s get this out of the way up front. This year’s Gaming Awards won’t include any Duke Nukem Forever jokes. We’re not going to mock Jack Thompson, Hillary Clinton, or Joe Lieberman. Nor will we take any digs at our console-gaming, thumb-monkey counterparts. And we won’t even mention the debacle known as the PlayStation 3 launch.
This year we’re simply going to praise our favorite gaming moments from 2006. Last year was a banner year for PC gaming, chock-full o’ amazing experiences that you just couldn’t get on any other platform. And the PC proved to be the best platform for many multiplatform games—Oblivion, anyone? We also saw a couple of new trends really take root. The fi rst episodic games appeared, and we reveled in their too-short glory. We also saw the good and bad of microtransactions, with some publishers delivering hours of gameplay for a nominal price, while others gouged for tutorials and cheat codes.
In short, 2006 was like any other year. Some good stuff happened, along with some bad. But we played dozens of games and enjoyed a whole bunch of them. So without further ado, let’s roll out the metaphorical red carpet and begin the annual bestowing of props!
