The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion scoops Golden Joysticks award

Role-playing fantasy game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has won the "Ultimate Game of the Year Award" at this year's prestigious Golden Joysticks and also picked up "Game of the Year" for both the Xbox and PC at the ceremony in central London.

The Golden Joysticks awards, which are now in their twenty-fourth year, are awarded in 16 categories and are voted for by British gamers.

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City stories on the PSP for "Handheld Game of the Year" was also amongst the winners of the awards.

This victory for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) version of the game means that the Grand Theft Auto series has taken a Golden Joystick Award for the last five years in a row.

The game Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, made by Bethesda Softworks, is about the quest to find the rightful heir to the throne of the mysterious world of Tamriel.
