Game of the Year picks
It's the awards time of year, and various sites are weighing in with their picks. Next Generation and GameSpot both went with Gears of War, while GameSpy and GamesRadar went with the Wii version of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Thoughts:

I'd choose GoW over TP.
Spirit was crushed; now is fading, But I want to help make things right.
Because I can see and I can feel, and you can see and you can feel
So why don't we both either stand up and fight
Or at least together we'll call it a night.

Re: Game of the Year picks
Having beaten both, I'd probably give it to Zelda (and for non-fanboi reasons). Tough, close choice though.

Actually, that was 2005, as RE4 came out in January of '05.
Best game I played this year was Twilight Princess, hand down, but Elite Beat Agents for DS is a close second.

Re: Game of the Year picks
I'm still playing the original call of duty...wake me up in whenever they bring that GeoMod thingy from red faction back, with destructible environments and everything (or if CAL comes back to CoD...that would work too...pipe-dream i know)
