Yes, Christmas is over for another year and we are almost starting a brand new year. Christmas ,for me, was one of the best I have ever experienced. The Wii, Zelda, Wii Sports = Brilliance. The Wii is truly better than anything I could have ever imagined and my 360 will be gathering dust for a long time now (probably until Halo 3). What a great year of gaming it has been. The 360 has truly thrived with a wave of great second generation titles for it and so has the DS. And, to top it off, a brand new Nintendo console has made a great impact on the world thanks to its innovation. Considering the year is over, I am listing the handheld game and console game I have enjoyed the most this year: Console Game of 2006: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess A truly brilliant game. Finally, a Zelda game to challenge Ocarina. Handheld Game of 2006: New Super Mario Bros. Mario returning to his roots in the first 2D Mario game in 14 years. Yes, 2006 was a great year for gaming. With a great line-up for the Wii and Xbox 360, roll on 2007.
