"But what your saying is that 1 game that has generated so much interest and popularity and is certainly the most unique experience, doesn't deserve to be called the best of the year. Why not?"
Because it is not a game. It is not even a game in the sense that Wii Sports is a game. It might be an acceptable exercise device for the people that need it, if so that's good, but it doesn't make it a game. And, if has produced some nice Youtube videos with attractive young women using it that I consider it a guilty pleasure to watch. Still doesn't make it a game though. When game review sites have reviewed it something they probably shouldn't have done since it is not a game, they have all seemed to agree that it was in the low to mid eights not nearly as high as GTA IV.
Heavens to Murgatoids.
