Microsoft monopolizes Next-Gen's (long) list of best games

Well, not really, but you get the idea. In addition to others, Next-Gen has selected their top game picks for 2006, 50 to be exact. Microsoft platforms -- a clear majority of which were 360 games -- seemingly dominated the multiplatform list by a total share of 42%. We'll spare you the 40 losers and just run down the top 10:

1. Gears of War (360)

2. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)

3. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC, 360)

4. Guitar Hero II (PS2)

5. Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3)

6. Company of Heroes (PC)

7. Dead Rising (360)

8. New Super Mario Bros. (DS)

9. Okami (PS2)

10. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (360)
