GamesRadar's potentially annual Platinum Chalice awards 2006

It's been a stupidly big year for games. Why don't we reduce it to a single glib article?

It's the end of another great year for gamers. Two new systems launched. Two handhelds waged bloody battle. And next gen gaming got a big kick in the pants - thanks to a year of lonely rule by the Xbox 360. PC gaming fought fire with nukes, waging its battle against the console-based onslaught. In short, it ruled.

How do we handle this? We're handing out our gleaming Platinum Chalice to those games and systems which gave us the business. No boring list of 37 different strategy games, divided into real-time and turn-based (don't forget to separate the portable games!) Nope, this is just us, telling it like it is. If you don't like it, well, you know where to go for about a billion damn awards when you only care about 10 of 'em.

Really, anyone owning a PS2 or Wii who didn't get Okami does not deserve to play video games. It delivered all you guys wanted, and you ignored it. That's like throwing away a computer's mouse, except X100 worse.
