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 Best PvP: EVE Online, CCP Games

We did not originally nominate them, but the fans wrote to us en masse and thus EVE Online went up for it in a special one-week run off. This vote demonstrated we were clearly mistaken with our original nominees as EVE Online nailed down 55% of the total vote in a three-game category.

What else is there to say about EVE? They've already picked up three awards, and they were only originally nominated for two of the categories we've handed out so far. Fans of the game cite massive armada battles, pirate-hunting and the game's fluid PvP-zone system as the reasons it is a cut above the rest.

Guild Wars and Dark Age of Camelot emerged from the original category, which also included City of Heroes / Villains, Lineage II and Shadowbane. The latter three did not garner enough votes to continue on, while DAoC and Guild Wars both tied at 22% in the finals.

One other category went to a run-off. Find out who you thought had the best story!
