FiringSquad's 2006 PC Game of the Year Awards

FiringSquad has published their 2006 PC Game of the Year awards, in which Bethesda Softworks' The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was able to snag the top spot.
It helps that combat, both in melee and in magic modes, is fast and furious rather than the slow and tedious way most RPGs handle these aspects. Production values are high (getting Patrick Stewart among others to be voice actors for the game was quite a coup) and if you happen to play through the entire content of the shipped version of Oblivion you have the choice of downloading the paid extra content from BethSoft or download any of the free third party mods that people have made for Oblivion. I'm not normally an RPG fan but its hard to turn yourself away for just one more hour playing this game and that's why I'm selecting it as my pick for best PC game of 2006.
