GameSpy’s GotY 2005 Awards: Guild Wars

It’s already been a successful year for ArenaNet’s Guild Wars, but now the subscription-free MMORPG has scored GameSpy’s Best MMORPG title in their “Game of the Year 2005” awards. Check it out:

One of our favorite games this year also happens to be the best MMO that was released in 2005. It’s difficult not to heap praise on Guild Wars: it has a novel approach to PvP, it has great PvE content, and there’s no subscription fee to play it. When you consider that last point, it’s easy to assume that the game’s quality simply isn’t up to par with subscription-based MMOs, but, as anyone whose played it can attest, that is simply not the case.
