If they let just one guy do the best and worst items, that's basically like saying "this reviewer's opinion is being put above all the other people in our publication who review the same medium". Not a good idea.

but if you require that all of a publications reviews are consistent with their later GotY-type articles that's the same thing since a review is written by a single person.  Approved by editorial staf sure but in the end it is the opinion of that one reviewer. 

If it's not the same person, it would be a really good idea to nod to the review, so that it doesn't look like hypocracy. If the replies on this thread have to do their damage control for them, they didn't do it right.
