2005 in pictures

We know you just can't get enough of those pesky "year in review" pieces, but this one's a little different. Next Generation have tried to capture the gaming events of 2005 in twelve pictures, more or less one a month. Sadly, many of the pictures chosen seem to be added as afterthoughts based on various events, rather than chosen on the image's merit — does a picture of John Riccitiello really represent the heady excitement of November?

Still, if you're on the lookout for images to go alongside your personal gaming calendar, you could do worse.
