lol poor Leo can't post without everyone picking on him, it's not like he deserves.....oh wait nvm :)
ok, joking aside, deciding a GOTY must be pretty rough, I mean what criteria do you use?
Best Graphics? - Well that likely rules out any Wii game from ever getting it :(
Best Replay value? - Well that heavily skews towards FPS's(among other genres) and games like Mass Effect would be boned
Most mainstream sales success? - A lot of people would say this shouldn't even factor in, but shouldn't game of the year be a reflection of the best game in the eyes of the gamers not some site reviewers.....and if a game sells really well, that should at least put it in consideration right?
Don't get me wrong, I don't even own a 360, I've been a PC fps'r for years and don't really find halo anything revolutionary, but if you look at Halo from the position of:
Very good graphics/sound - Sure it's no Bioshock/COD4, but it's nothing to scoff at
Very good replay - fairly obvious on this front
Excellent Sales - Other then Wii Sports and Wii play, which have high sales due(in part) to reasons unrelated to the games themselves, it was the highest seller of the year(haven't look this up, but it must be up there)
Obviously there are loads of other categories, but Halo 3 at least does well(if not leading the pack) in some of the categories, so I don't see it being a huge stretch for it to win GOTY awards.
The only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth.
