What now? Call of Duty 4 got a "Game of the Year" Edition as well. Much earlier than Mass Effect at that.


Other places GOTY -

GameSpy - Call of Duty 4
Yahoo! - Super Mario Galaxy (Mass Effect wasn't even a nominee)


You know, I could go on. But this website does it very nicely for you.

Mass Effect got the 7th most GOTY awards. Super Mario Galaxy, Bioshock, The Orange Box, Call of Duty 4, Rock Band, and Halo 3 all got more awards.

Hold on a moment. This is done by only members from one site. This is NOT a cumilation of all awards from all website and literature. But more importantly the developers awards.

Excerpt from where your link sends us to, please read the underlined bold sections:

The judges of the Game Critics Awards are honored to announce the first annual Game of the Year awards. Considering games across all platforms, released commercially in North America between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, the judges have voted to decide on the best of the best for the year. 

To arrive at the top ten games of 2007, the judges applied a points system. Each judge nominated 10 games and awarded a score between 5 and 30 points to their chosen games, with a total point allotment of exactly 100. The cumulative total for each nominated game was then calculated to generate the ten highest scoring games. More details are available in the rules section.

The Game Critics Awards were set up in 2007. The judges were members of major publications and major web companies.

Regardless, my point was that Mass Effect is not recognized as the universal GOTY for 2007.

That's becuase Mass Effect only Launched on Earth..If there were an intergalatic version I think it would GOTY Universaly
