Official Video Games Of The Year Awards

Last night the 'Games of the Year' awards were taken place, and I have the winners listed below. My current favourite game Halflife2 was rated better than Halo2 and Doom3 (it's main rivals) as expected.

I got it from various sources, BBC, PC gamer, TV News etc.

I got that exact list from BBC... Why? It's definately official and accurate.
