2005 Reader's Choice Award Winners

The voting has ended and now we are prepared to hand out the Reader's Choice hardware.

By Dana Massey on January 16, 2006

Reader's Choice Favorite Company: CCP Games

The Icelandic-MMO company got off to a good start by taking favorite company in what some might consider a surprise. The developer's of EVE Online have long established themselves a driven and focused company who deals well with their fans and the media. The popularity of their flagship title EVE Online also didn't hurt their chances.

EVE Online is a space-set sci-fi MMORPG set in a future where humans colonized other galaxies through a wormhole. Years later the wormhole collapsed and the citizens of the EVE universe were left severed forever from their home galaxy. Civilizations collapsed and were rebuilt at the time players enter the game.

CCP Games faced stiff competition from the likes of Blizzard, Cryptic, Mythic and Turbine, but came away with a strong 44% of the overall vote from our readers. The strong showing is a bit of a surprise when the popularity of Blizzard's World of WarCraft is taken into account, but given EVE Online has long been the top hyped game on our site, the surprise is minimal.

Is this a sign of things to come for CCP and EVE Online? Read on to find out!
