Not necessarily. Gamespot and IGN US both gave MGS4 and GTA4 perfect 10/10 scores.
They both say that review scores do not necessarily dictate GoTY awards- a less extreme example would be 2001 from Gamespot:
Halo: 9.7
GTA3: 9.6 GAME OF THE YEAR
In fact, IGN AU is doing this. Sure, by 0.5 nobody cares- in a year with a 9.7, a 9.2 can win, fair enough. But IGN AU gave Mirror's Edge an 8.5 and MGS4 a 9.5, they rank MGS4 in 9th and Mirror's Edge in 5th, it makes no sense!
As I said earlier, GTA4 being in first disappoints me somewhat, but doesn't surprise me. Mirror's Edge and 9th place MGS4 are the real dick moves in that list.
