Technology – Best Commercial Release

Reader’s Choice Poll:
Winner: NaturalPoint TrackIR 4
Runner Up: AMD Athlon 64 X2

Staff / Moderator’s Choice Poll:
Winner: NaturalPoint TrackIR 4
Runner Up: AMD Athlon 64 X2

Comments: It looks like the TrackIR system has done for simulations what the mouse did for general computing. It’s made itself an indispensable tool in the sim fan’s combat arsenal. Congrats to the vision and foresight of NaturalPoint for this superbly innovative new product.

Faster is always better when it comes to CPU intensive titles like simulations, and the AMD 64 X2 delivers gaming speed by the truckload.

This category was almost a tie between the AMD 64 X2 and the TrackIR 4, which is no surprise when one considers just how important quality peripherals and fast processors are to the simulation genre.

Special Category – Best Online Multiplay Experience

Reader’s Choice Poll:
Winner: IL-2 Series
Runner Up: Battlefield 2
Third: Falcon 4.0: Allied Force

Staff / Moderator’s Choice Poll:
Winner: IL-2 Series
Runner Up: rFactor
Third: Battlefield 2

Comments: We must admit to a mea culpa in this category with the omission of S.C.S. – Dangerous Waters. It has a strong multiplayer component that frankly — we just missed including. To the developers of S.C.S. – Dangerous Waters: our apologies.
