The 26th Annual Golden Joystick Awards was held last week, probably the most prestigious publicly-voted awards event for the games industry, bestowing awards on not only the games themselves, but the companies that move the industry, from publishers, to developers to retailers.

The event’s awards were dominated by Activision, as Guitar Hero III, Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty: World at War received awards. Additionally, Activision itself won the ‘Publisher of the Year’ award. Nintendo picked up an award or two as well, while Rockstar also received some nods.
