As part of Gamasutra's year-end round-up, we asked our readers and staff to submit their choices for top three games of 2005, and we now present a complete collection of answers profiling last year's best games. Among the most interesting unpublished responses was that of Randolph Stayer from EA Canada, who commented: "...I think my top prize this year has to go out to a game that very few people heard about, even less cared about, and even less yet managed to play, a little gem of a budget title called Phantom Dust. It brought a very refreshing online experience that got lost in an abundance of FPSes on Xbox, which really is too bad because it really is an amazing game. I spent countless hours into the early morning even on work days playing with my friends, something no game has ever gotten me to do online." You can now read the full Gamasutra feature on the subject, including a veritable plethora of interesting responses from game professionals (no registration required, please feel free to link to the article from external websites)
