Are you trying to be funny by pointing out that it's 2005, or are you just blind to the good games that came out last year?

The words - 'What' 'Planet' 'Have' 'You' 'Been' 'On' spring to mind.

If its been an amazing year then we haven't got much to look forward to have we?

Echoes is far better than Prime. It surpassed expectations. I really don't think ANYONE was disappointed with it.

Has it? Really?

I think all I've got in the last year has been Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Paper Mario, Donkey Konga and POP:WW. Prime 2, by some accounts, failed to live up to the first one.

None of them were ever going to be huge hits at any award ceremonies. Still, Zelda and Resi 4 should clean up next time.

I don't think I really would have expected Nintendo to win much, after all if we're perfectly honest, we haven't exactly been inundated with loads of top games in the past year (though neither has any platform either really).
