Wii Sports was largely the GOTY last year...it is not a contender for this year...

Who gave Wii Sports game of the year? It won the most innovative award and stuff but not GOTY from the awards I heard about.

 

I think by logic, the lead candidate should be Mass Effect because if that game delivers on what it's promising it would be GOTY hands down. Also games like Halo, GTA and Mario should get less consideration cause they are sequels, need more new franchises to win awards.

 

 

Time Magazine made Wii Sports its game of the year, and it won "Best Game Design" at the Developer's Conference.

In general, though, I think the point is outside of reviewer's picks.
