Golden Joystick Award Winners Announced

Hailing from London’s Park Lane Hilton this Friday afternoon were the 25th Annual Golden Joystick Awards. Unlike the recent BAFTA Video Games Awards, Golden Joystick Award winners are determined by YOU the consumer. Also, keep in mind that the applicable titles are generally within the fiscal year (Halo 3 fans, wait until next year’s awards).

Here’s a breakdown of 2007’s winners:

• 02 Ultimate Game of the Year 2007 – Gears of War
• Sonopress Xbox Game of the Year 2007 – Gears of War
• PC Game of the Year 2007 – sponsored by PC Gamer – The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of Angmar
• PlayStation Game of the Year 2007 – sponsored by Official PlayStation Magazine UK – God of War II
• Nintendo Game of the Year 2007 – sponsored by Official Nintendo Magazine – The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
• Editor’s Choice – Gears of War
• The Publisher of the Year 2007 – sponsored by Future – Nintendo
• The Vivendi Retailer of the Year 2007 – Game

• Next-Gen.biz UK Developer of the Year – Codemasters
• The GameTribe Online Game of the Year 2007 – World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade
• Nuts All-Nighter – Gears of War
• The 1Xtra Soundtrack of the Year – Guitar Hero II
• The Innovation of the Year 2007 – sponsored by T3 – Nintendo Wii

• Games Radar Handheld Game of the Year – GTA Vice City Stories
• The Sun Family Game of the Year 2007 – Wii Sports
• The Bliss Girls’ Choice Game of the Year 2007 – Guitar Hero II

No Wii Sports dominance here. It’s clearly obvious Gears of War was the strong favorite this year. It’s nice to see awards given to games that are actually out too.

Next year’s awards will be even more interesting to say the least; so many good titles…
