Best Multiplatform Game

This year, many games continued to be brought to multiple platforms. On some occasions, these cross-platform ports arrived months after the release of the original versions, and technical issues would often crop up in translation. Perhaps that's not surprising, as it takes a real effort for a developer-publisher duo to produce a multiplatform game that takes full advantage of each respective platform's technical strengths and then release it in the same time frame on all fronts. This award goes to the game that managed to excel in this respect while simply being an outstanding game on its own merits. Here are the finalists for our Best Multiplatform Game award:

Beyond Good & Evil (PC, XBOX, GC, PS2)

Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Ubisoft

This inspired action adventure game stands as an original and memorable experience on each of the platforms for which it's available.

Freedom Fighters (PC, XBOX, GC, PS2)

Publisher: EA Games
Developer: Io Interactive

An alternate-history squad-based shooter from the makers of the excellent Hitman 2, Freedom Fighters starts out basic enough but soon begins providing nonstop, incredible tactical shoot-outs.
