Our 2005 Winners!

When we launched our Video Game of the Year program, we decided to follow in the footsteps of the successful FamilyFun Toy of the Year program, which relies on kids to choose the best products. But because parents are concerned which games their kids play, we felt it was important to get their voices in the testing program as well, to ensure that all the top products are games the whole family can be proud of.

The two winners for 2005 certainly meet these criteria. Click the links on this page to see the complete scores and read more about the games. And thank you to all the families who spent thousands of hours playing games and then answering questions about them, and to all the manufacturers who submitted games for review.

Our family testers have decided, and the winners of the 2005 FamilyFun.com Video Game of the Year are:


Though both of our top winners were games based on handheld devices, we're also pleased to highlight the two top-rated console games in each age group for 2005. See our other top finishers on the Video Game of the Year 2005 Top Ten list.
