| Thechalkblock said: I thought for sure it was going to be Gears of War 2. What does this mean for IGN's overall game of the year? |
It means that Gears 2 is out of reach to get Overall GOTY. I'm sure the Overall will be done in one of two ways:
1. They use every vote given to every GOTY nominated game across all the platforms to get the Winner and runners-up.
2. They re-vote, which will leave most of the votes exactly the same, but may change for a few editors that may have their real GOTY on a platform they don't write for.
Either way, it's only going to benefit the multiplat games. It may appear that MGS4 will win, because it beat out Fallout 3 on PS3 and Fallout won on 360, so some people's logic will conclude that MGS4 is the front runner, it's probably not. You see Fallout 3 has the highest average of votes on 360. It probably has some votes on PC and PS3 too. The total of those votes should be able to push Fallout 3 over MGS4 once all the voters come back together.
Onyxmeth's official prediction: Fallout 3 takes Overall GOTY. MGS4, Sins of a Solar Empire, Gears 2 and GTA IV are the other nominees.
