So if I'm reading this correctly, it's probably a safe statement to say that Portal 2 would not have been game of the year if everyone on staff was only allowed to vote for their single favorite game?

If so, I really appreciate this approach to a GotY award. It's showing which game has the broadest appeal.

I was originally confused by the fact that Uncharted beat it on PS3 yet it got Game of the Year. Initially I thought "Wow, they really thought the PC experience was better, didn't they?" Is there any truth to that statement?

For what it's worth, Portal 2 wouldn't have even been in my top 5 though. :)

If you really want to be green you'd go all the way and eliminate physical discs all together! Come on Ubi!

I went with Uncharted 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4... which totaled $82.

And now I will have $40 towards New Super Mario Bros. Wii!

I was pretty pissed when I first read this... then I realized it was multiplayer only...

Meh, I don't see myself being very committed to that mode.

Woot! :)

This developer doesn't make sense to me. First Nintendo let's them make F-Zero games... then they have them make trashy worse-than-most-browser-games domo titles?

I still like to see MS supporting this service. While the purchases may not make a ton of sense now, it gets rid of the fear that a certain game will become rare.

Also, a quick site suggestion. I know you guys are probably super busy, but it would be cool if there was a way users could quickly get a list of all of the stories they've posted responses in, that'd be awesome. That way we could go back and look for responses to our responses.

Not sure if you did it on purpose, but I enjoy that you didn't give the aggregator any _real_ credit. =P Taste of their own medicine.

Is this a strange amalgamation of Pokemon Channel, the mini games from the original Stadiums, and Pokemon Snap?

If so, that sounds pretty awesome, as the latter two things were pretty freaking fun.

I haven't followed the Wii Madden at all, but this does sound really cool. The last Madden I tried was 2007 and I just hated having to learn a new control feature seemingly every day.

I'll probably pick this up on 360. Maybe I can make the Bills actually win a game.
