Clearly my opinion of Gears of War 2 is invalid despite having completed the game due to not owning the hardware. God forbid that I can formulate an opinion on Spore after a good 25+ hours of gametime. My opinion on the games in question is as valid as anybody else's and I listed them because I have enough expirence with them to judge them. If I had not, then I would not have listed them at all. Drop some of the paranoia and do not treat people like fanboys, it's insulting. In my opinion LittleBigPlanet is easily the best game this year and it has nothing to do with the gaming platform that I currently own. Please, do not assume so much about others, I spend more time gaming in other people's households then my own.

It has nothing to do with whether you are a PS3 fanboy or not, but whether you have enough experience to make any valid judgement on them, which is unlikely when you do not own any of the platforms. I play tons of games at other people's houses.  God knows how much time I've devoted to Rock Band, a game I've never owned, but that doesn't mean I should be reviewing it, or deciding on its qualifications as a game.  Also, not owning a platform means you get much less exposure to its lower profile great games, like Valkyria on PS3, The World Ends With You on DS, World of Goo on Wii, Tales of Vesperia on 360, or Patapon on PSP.  Games like these often end up GotY candidates as well (other than the last 2 I consider all of those to be GotY candidates). 

I agree, LBP and MGS4 were the best games this year.  But there were so many other great games that it's silly to say nothing else even deserves a mention.
