How unexpected. Could GTA miss the GOTY in a lot of stations because game reviewers and sites are recognizing the overratedness of the game?

that actually shows one of the problems.  fable 2 is a brand new game.  many of those who rated it had just played it.  maybe in a few months their feelings for the game will simmer down, but because it was so fresh they loved it.  whether justified or not, gta4 clearly seems to be hurt by the time lapse while fable 2 probably gained from it.

 

Things like this can influence results but in this circumstance it's probably not the case.  You have 5 of the 8 GOTY nominees coming out all within similar timeframes...

Fable 2
Gears 2
Resistance 2
Fallout 3
Left 4 Dead

Semi-off topic but I'm kind of surprised Resistance 2 was nominated...figured LBP would have been there instead.
