Gears of War Ultimate Game of the Year

Gears of War, has been honoured as the Ultimate Game of the Year at the 25th annual Golden Joystick Awards at the Hilton Hotel on London's Park Lane.
Developed by Epic Games, Gears of War offered gamers a unique blend of tactical action and survival horror and was this year's big winner scooping a massive four awards in total including Xbox Game of the Year, the All-Nighter Award and Editors' Choice award. In the 25th anniversary year of the UK's longest-established and most popular games awards, it was the diverse range of pioneering software that grabbed the attention of gamers as nearly 750,000 votes were cast, up on last year's 540,000 votes.
Guitar Hero II and Nintendo were the ceremony's other notable winners, each receiving two awards each. Played with a special guitar controller, Guitar Hero II was honoured in both Soundtrack of the Year and Girls' Choice Award. Nintendo triumphed as Publisher of the Year, while the ultra successful Wii console scooped the Innovation Award, "gazumping" Sony's PlayStation 3 console, which was last year's winner of the One To Watch award.
