It's December 31st, and that means it's time to tally all the votes and present to you the Shacknews Game of the Year 2006 winners, as voted on by our audience. As we switched voting formats this year, results are based on total points per category in which a game was awarded 3 points for a first place vote, 2 points for a second place vote and 1 for a third place vote.
