AMN's Best of 2005: GameCube
Laptop Battery Another year is gone. They sure do go by fast. 2005 was an interesting year for gaming as a whole. The Electronic Entertainment Expo came and went, leaving us pretty stunned. Next up, we saw the unveiling of the Nintendo Revolution controller at Tokyo Game Show 2005. There was quite a bit of action as far as news goes during 2005. But, while we hate to say it, the GameCube just didnt have the best year in regards to software. While other consoles saw a steady stream of releases, GameCube was left with few releases.
That said, GameCube did get some great games this year, such as Resident Evil 4, Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, Battalion Wars, Super Mario Strikers and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. Things werent all bad. We were just slightly disappointed that nothing as great as Resident Evil 4, which was way back in January 2004, ever surfaced for the holidays. We expected Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to blow us away in November, but it was delayed, leaving the GameCube with no killer-app for the holidays. Thankfully, we think that the delay will do the title much good and cant wait to get our hands on it in 2006.
Over the course of the holidays, a handful of Nintendo-centric AMN editors got together and voted for the Best of GameCube 2005, and you can find all of our choices below, including our GameCube Game of the Year.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
