Best Sleeper Hit
Winner: Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis (360)
Synopses: Sean Dwyer

When Rockstar Games announced early in 2006 that they would be releasing a ping-pong game, a lot of people thought it was a joke. Surely the people behind such hyper-violent games as Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt and The Warriors wouldn't go soft on us and turn to something so basic and inoffensive... would they?

Is there even a market for a game like this? But this is Rockstar we're talking about, who has the freedom to do just about anything they want, and do it well. As a result, Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis ended up being one of the most underrated and overlooked Xbox 360 games to be released in 2006.

Table tennis is a game known for its speed and precision, and the folks at Rockstar San Diego took that to heart in designing this title. There's nothing cartoony or exaggerated about it; the controls are tight, the game play intense.

It's easy to learn the basics, but there's also a lot more depth than you might expect. It takes some practice if you want to counter spins or catch the corners. The use of the rumble to indicate the power of a shot that is about to be unleashed also gave players valuable tactile feedback allowing them to feel their way around the table.

Sure it would have been nice to have an option for doubles, and maybe a career mode too, but in the end Rockstar's Table Tennis delivered great value for its budget price. I guess it also goes without saying that this is probably the best ping-pong video game ever made!

Accessory of the Year
Winner: Wii Remote
Synopses: Cameron Graham

While accessories such as the Xbox Live Camera and Wireless Racing Wheel have certainly improved how you play your video games and interact with others - the only accessory to redefine and change your way of playing was the Nintendo Wii Remote. With its motion sensing technology and inviting aesthetics, it's quickly ushering in a whole new way to get your game on.

PC Game of the Year
Winner: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Synopses: Ken Edwards

The Elder Scrolls series has been redefining the way we play PC games since Arena in 1994. Oblivion's scope is immense, and Bethesda keeps releasing wonderful add-ons to the game. The mod community has also taken over, just as it did with Morrowind, and refined Oblivion in ways the original developers never thought of - or got around to doing.

You simply are not going to find a more engrossing game on the PC, with sheer scale and depth of play to match - that makes The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion an easy choice for our 2006 PC Game of the Year.
