We know, we're a little past the awards season at this point, but the readers spoke and their voices shall be heard. We're talking about the 2006 Engadget awards, wherein we provide the high honorary status to only the most excellent gadgets and consumer technologies of the 2006 calendar year. There was some very stiff competition, but there's no denying who really won out last year: the technology enthusiast, who had a vast number of excellent toys to choose from. Winners will shortly receive their 2D blue award statuette with high powered radio transmitter (pending FCC approval); please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. Congratulations!

Now, click on to see the winners.

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
