^That has nothing to do with it:

GameSpot's genre awards are often the most difficult to determine because they encompass all games that fit into a certain genre, across all platforms. Note that GameSpot's method of determining finalists and winners is not to give the award to the game that best represented the genre it belongs to, but rather, to the best game in that genre.

@FreeTalkLive: Read every other review of Fallout 3, including GameSpot.

@NNN2004: Scores have nothing to do with it. Scores are decided by one, maybe two, people, the Game of The Year awards are decided by the entire team.

EDIT: In my opinion:

1) Gears of War 2

2) Left 4 Dead

3) Resistance 2

I have played all of them, all are great, but Gears 2 is significantly better than L4D. I don't know why it is missing from all of these Game of The Year awards- it wasn't even nominated for 360 GoTY or Overall GoTY.

 

If you consider LBP as a platformer, then it sucks horribily and there is asbolutely no reason why it should be selling what it is selling. If you consider it as a simple level-editor/commmunity game then it shines. Sadly I don't see a category up for that sort of game.
