Why give SMG2 best Wii game thus far and a perfect score of masterful if it doesn't even win GOTY. So in conclusion Mass Effect 2> all the games on Wii. <_>

The Galaxy 2 review was written by one person, while the IGN GOTY is made on the concensus of multiple writers on the IGN team (just like VGChartz has reviews written by one person but the GOTY is voted on by multiple VGC Staff members).

So while the reviewer for Galaxy 2 loved the game and awarded it a 10, other members from the IGN team also loved Mass Effect 2, and more members gave the game a higher ranking.

This was a big controversy when Okami beat out both Twilight Princess and Bioshock in the 2006 IGN GOTY.

I had forgotten about the HD bias at IGNorant.
