To build on what rocketpig said,
felt the nominees for GotY on X-Play were well-rounded and included a good crop. Bioshock won and I have no problem with that.
GI was actually internally consistent. Bioshock and CoD4 were the only two games it awarded with 10s (SMG got a 9.75). So it gave its award to a game that it judged as perfection.
I felt the nominees for GotY on Spike's VGA showed a lack of bredth (four M-rated Xbox 360 games includuing three FPSs and one RPG). I can't remember who won but felt the award nominees tilted more toward the demographic than the true measure of the games. (The same four games were also nominated for 360 game of the year). Bioshock won this award as well and is a deserving choice.
In other words, something just does not seem to add up when the highest rated game of this generation is not nominated for game of the year. Also, when none of the three shooters nominated for Game of the Year wins Shooter of the Year (CoD4 won it. It also should have been a GotY nominee).
