The panel for the 2006 Golden Joystick Awards will today unveil the shortlist for each category of the 24th annual Golden Joystick Awards.

In a surprising turn up, handheld games and consoles have taken an early lead in the GJA polls with the likes of Mario Kart DS featuring heavily across the 16 categories grabbing six shortlist places for Mario Kart DS and one for Mario as 'Favourite Character'. Nintendo currently lead the field for the 'Publisher of the Year' category while GAME occupies the top spot in the 'Retailer of the Year' category.

Guitar Hero and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories both get nods in the 'Soundtrack Award' category while front-runner for the prestigious 'Ultimate Game of the Year' gong is Take 2 Interactive's popular Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which has no less than five nominations in total.
