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 Story: The Saga of Ryzom, Nevrax

The Saga of Ryzom is a small game produced by the French development studio Nevrax. They made big waves early this year when they brought on Turbine-veteran Jessica Mulligan to help right the ship. Over the year, the games focused squarely on live content and evolving story for each of the game's servers. This was enough to grab them best story, according to our readers.

Ryzom is set in a science-fiction universe and in addition to its story, it also boasts crisp graphics and a loyal and supportive community. The game also boasts PvP and is on the verge of a revolutionary expansion called "The Ryzom Ring". In this expansion, players will be able to take story-telling to the next level as they introduce player-created content tools.

The original category included Horizons instead of Asheron's Call and managed to produced a dead split between the top four games (22% each). Oddly enough, this didn't carry over into the finals, where The Saga of Ryzom emerged on top with 31% of the votes. City of Heroes / Villains grabbed 19% for second place. They were followed by Anarchy Online at 18%, Asheron's Call at 15% and Star Wars Galaxies at 14%.

Next up is the most anticipated game of 2006!
