  The 24th annual Golden Joystick Awards ceremony was held at the Park Lane Hilton hotel in London this afternoon. Fifteen of the 16 awards are voted for by the gaming public, choosing from a panel-selected shortlist in each category. The only exception is the Editors' Choice Award, which is chosen by a panel of gaming journalists. Games released between August 1, 2005, and July 31, 2006, were all eligible to be considered.

  The awards were presented by comedian Justin Lee Collins, and the winners included Nintendogs, which took home both the Family Game of the Year and the Girls' Choice awards, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which was PC, Xbox, and Ultimate Game of the Year. Mario Kart DS was one of the runners-up of the day, coming second or third in several of the six categories it was shortlisted in, including Nintendo Game of the Year.

  Last year, the big winners were Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Resident Evil 4.
