@Acevil.... I knew I'd seen your avatar before.... you are on the GameTrailers page I just linked to in the post above.

 

Oh shit, I been spotted. I was doing a count for GOTY for awhile, It was Mario Galaxy and Bioshock that clearly won that year (On all the important sites anyways). COD4 won some, Halo did aswell. Again I only counted the major sites like 1up, IGN, Edge, Gamespot etc. You know that atleast get more than 1000 hits...a day.

I do this for every year. Bioshock and Mario Galxy cleaned last year, the year before that was Oblivion, The Legend of Zelda and Gears of War. The year before that was Resident Evil 4 mostly.

Orange Box won almost 200 awards, no other game seems to have come close. Thing is, The Orange Box has the "support" of Portal and Team Fortress 2, and combined won dozens GOTYs.

First things first, you lack the evidence to prove Orange Box won all those awards and secondly I just noticed something in your list everything you labeled is a PC game.

Finally I can grantee if I used your method of using no name site I can find more GOTY for Galaxy and maybe even Bioshock than the Orange Box.

 

I can't even think of 37 websites that have a GOTY award, so for portal to have won so many you must be using no-name sites as well as PC specific magazines.

I am sure if I went into Nintendo Specific magazines I could find a further 20 GOTY awards for SMG, that's not including small websites no one has heard of. Same for Bioshock with XB magazines.

We should probably limit this to major websites and huge (all gaming) magazines if you want to make this fair, but I don't think you do.

I'm fine admitting PC might be a better gaming experience for more people if they gave it a try and stopped complaining about price etc, but this seems a rather biased thread.
