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.

Mac Game of the Year
Winner: Civilization IV
Synopses: Cameron Graham
As far as Mac gaming goes, 2006 has been a good year. We've seen Wingnuts 2, a great sequel to a great arcade game; Redline Racing, giving a much needed boost to the Mac racing lineup; and Sketchfighter 4000 Alpha whose clever graphics sucked us in at first sight.
So choosing the best game of the year has been harder than usually this time around. However, with its gorgeous graphics (if your computer can handle them), infinite replayability, and it-will-take-over-your-social-life addictive game play, Civilization IV edged out the competition to score our nod for Best Mac Game of 2006.

GBA Game of the Year
Winner: Drill Dozer
Synopses: Matt Paprocki
No one played Drill Dozer. This Game Freak developed platformer came far too late for a lagging Game Boy Advance audience now hooked on licensed Nickelodeon titles, not fresh and inventive efforts like this.

I really enjoyed Sketchfighter on the Mac, but it really isn't in the same league as Civ 4. Decent picks overall.
