Famitsu is a widely respected Japanese magazine that gamers and the gaming community take notice when they review the latest game or have images, scans etc. Kotaku have obtianed the Famitsu's Best of 2006 awards- some may surprise you, some you probably knew would win a particular category.

Heres the list for you. Some of the categories Kotaku have translated so they might not make much sense:

Game of the Year: Final Fantasy XII and Pokemon Diamond & Pearl shared

Best Rookie Game: Blue Dragon

"Biggest Hit": Pokemon DIamond & Pearl

Best "rearranged game"? Maybe it's best sequel or franchise update. Anyway: New Super Mario Bros

I'm kind of wondering what they mean by 'impact.' I'm too tired to check the link right now, but y'know.

some of those are a bit odd. i must say, i'm baffled by the Multiplayer Award.

So 12 is tied for game of the year but somehow isnt RPG of the year? ok ._.

Well, it gives a bit more variety to the awards.=P not that it makes much sense though.
