GameSpot Readers Honor Gears of War

Next Generation: "CNET-owned GameSpot said that results of its annual Readers’ Choice awards were determined by “millions of votes” cast by GameSpot users.

“Nothing ignites a more spirited debate among all of us than a year-end 'Best of' list. Our audience of avid gamers loves to speak their mind about the games they’re playing and do so 24-7 on our site,” said Josh Larson, GameSpot site director. “GameSpot’s Readers’ Choice award program is their annual opportunity to formally recognize their absolute favorites of the year, and millions jump at the chance to be a part of the fun.”

GameSpot issued over 45 Readers' Choice awards. Aside from Microsoft and Epic Games' Gears of War, the other winners were The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for Best Story, Tomb Raider: Legend for Most Improved Sequel, Guitar Hero II for Best Rhythm/Music Game and Company of Heroes for Best Strategy Game.
