Gamespot's GOTY goes to ... GoW

We reported earlier that voting was up for Game of the Year at Gamespot, and the results are finally in. Epic's Gears of War took home the 2006 award for Game of the Year (cue victory dance)! The nominee list was brimming with Xbox 360 candidates, so we figured the odds were pretty good that we'd see the winner be a 360 title. To be honest, we were secretly pulling for Gears to take home the award and it is nice to see that the fans felt the same way. We rise our glasses and toast you Gears of War, job well done and we can't wait to get our hands on your sequel (cue another victory dance)!
