2005 Engadget Awards

Though we're bummed that Engadget didn't engage in a little incest and create a "Best Gaming Blog" category just for us, the 26-category span of the 2005 Engadget Awards is otherwise comprehensive and fun to read.
There's plenty here for gamers. Engadget picked the Xbox 360 as the Gadget of the Year, though their readers--whom we must assume have too little gaming joy in their lives--chose the Apple iPod. Engaget picked yet another gaming device as the Worst Gadget of the Year. It shouldn't take any of you two guesses to nail that one, especially after this hint: it starts with "Gizm" (that's a hard G sound, not a soft one) and ends with a Homeric, forehead-slapping "do."

The Xbox 360 as game console of the year? Are you kidding me?
Other then coming out in '05 what else did it do? If anything the PS2 or DS deserve that award more.

I think by "Console of the Year", it means hardware, not amount of superb games.

In that case I guess that is the only thing it could have one then...lol...

My vote would have gone to DS. Buying games is the best way to vote for a company you like ;

OK, that's a great list they've got there, but for the viewers just tuning in, why don't they make every winner a clickable link, so we can find out just WFT these great gadgets are, and why they are so wonderful.
