GameSpy has their annual awards up for PC games and being that I pretty much exclusively play PC games I found it pretty interesting. It also gave me a few ideas of games to pick up next year on the cheap. I’ve played 1,2,5,6 and will definitely try 3 and 4. Company of Heroes is awesome, best strategy game since Starcraft, just hope they get the online stuff running smoother. Here’s their top 10:
1. Company of Heroes
2. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
3. Half-Life 2: Episode One
4. Space Rangers 2: Rise of the Dominators
5. Neverwinter Nights 2
6. Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords
7. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War — Dark Crusade
8. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
9. GTR 2
10. LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

How a 5 hour gameplay expansion can be 1 higher than a game that costs the same and has 100 hours of gameplay in it (Space Rangers 2) I do not know! It is just one more sign of a media out of touch with gamers and yet another sign that PC gaming is on it’s last legs.
