I'll briefly post my own few best from the best of 2005 in a couple of days ( sooner than the 2004 pie I made in January ), + add some comments why Civ IV's unfortunately not my personal GOTY ( the material is definitely there though, yet my log 75 still applies ).

I wish to all my GS friends nice holidays + a Happy New Year of ( transitional ? ) gaming towards ( HD? ).......   :)
