Football Manager 2006 takes a surprising number one, proof the management sim had a devoted UK following, while Gran Turismo 4 and the new Sony PSP Handheld lead the console charge. The pattern is handhelds breaking through — the PSP and the Nintendo DS Handheld both chart as hardware — alongside the usual annual ranks of Pro Evolution Soccer 5 and FIFA 06. World of Warcraft makes its first big appearance here, and the Buzz! Music Quiz With Buzzers brings party quizzing into the mix. The horse-riding sim Pippa Funnell is the unlikeliest entry. A late-PS2 year already pointing toward the portable and online futures.
