Ignored Games of the Year?
Hmm....
All platformers. Stupid VGAs didn't even have an award for them, in the year that had Mario Galaxy 2, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Mickey, Sonic, LIMBO, Super Meat Boy, BIT.TRIP RUNNER, Cave Story, and many others.
All Japanese games.
All Nintendo games that don't have Mario.
All handheld games, especially iPhone games.
All downloadable games, especially WiiWare, and double especially BIT.TRIP games.
We're at the point where we shouldn't just have "best downloadable game" or 3 awards, one for WW, one for XBLA, and one for PSN. We should have "best downloadable platformer," "best downloadable puzzle game," etc. etc., on the side of the best retail games. I think looking at every single game on WW/XBLA/PSN and then giving an award to a single title is nuts. If everybody's going to do that, I want to at least see a Top 5.
