Respected blog Ludonauts picks their favourite pieces of writing on games for 2005. Some interesting stuff referenced, some which I missed (I'm just off to read Chris Crawford take apart the Emotioneering nonsense now).

The NGJ and Bow Nigger turn up there too, which deserves a bit of a plug, methinks. Go read.

For those who follow my adventures with alcohol - that is, everyone who reads this - No hangover today. Despite the 1000-word piece of material evidence included downpage.
