Joystiq: 8 Game of the Year awards

Joystiq is a website from United States, founded in 2004 and no longer publishing since 2015. It appears in this database with 8 Game of the Year picks across 8 award seasons (2007–2014); its most frequent pick was Fable II.

In the seasons tracked at full breadth, 3 of its 8 picks went to the game that won the season overall; the most recent was Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor in 2014.

Joystiq shut down in February 2015 and its remaining coverage was folded into Engadget.

What "2007–2014" means.

It is the first and last year this outlet appears in our award data — not necessarily its founding or closing date. An outlet may have existed longer, or simply skipped a year's award.
