Golden Joysticks Winners Revealed

For those of you who haven’t been following Electronic Theatre’s live coverage of the Golden Joystick Awards – and for those of you who have but still fancy a refresher – below follows the full list of winners from the event. Hosted by Ed Byrne, the hmv GamesMaster Golden Joystick Awards welcomed the great and good of the videogames industry to celebrate the very best in games, brands and moments from the past year.

Before heading straight into the honours, a special mention goes out to Bethesda’s groundbreaking single player role-playing game (RPG) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, today picking up an impressive three awards in the 30th anniversary year. As well as picking up the most prestigious accolade of the day, the ‘Ultimate Game of the Year in association with GamesMaster’, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim also picked up gongs for the ‘Best RPG in association with MSN’ and the ‘Top Gaming Moment in association with the Daily and Sunday Mirror’ for the Throat of the World sequence.

Also worthy of note was the appearance of celebrated British personality Stephen Fry, who presented Sony Computer Entertainment with the ‘Best Handheld Game in association with T3’ for Uncharted: Golden Abyss. As part of his forthcoming Channel 4 series, Stephen Fry: Gadget Man, the gadget lover brought to the stage a unique and painstakingly lifelike robot Stephen Fry, operating live by the real thing from his home. Operating the robot Stephen himself and speaking on a live link through his robot mouth, Stephen entered the history books as the very first guest presenter to present an award remotely.
