IGN gives Ocarina of Time a 9.5 out of 10. Yet Star Fox gets an extra 0.3 added to its score?

I don't know, maybe it's because a lot of games released now days aren't that good. A handful of games are mentioned on forums (uncharted, uncharted, uncharted, etc...) that are good, but that's it.

I finished this game for the first time on the 3DS, and I love it. I've played ocarina of time when I was 10, and couldnt be bothered to understand where to go to next, but now, i finally finished it, and it was very satisfying, something many games I've played these days fail to do, because the stories feel extremely obvious and cliche'. The hero is mostly a male character with a beard, blah blah blah, same ole same ole.

And to those complaining about the score,seriously find something better to do; it's not worth it, joke or not.

I think that just from a fairness aspect I don't like remakes/ports being up for GotY awards because it's giving the same game multiple chances at the award.  Seems to me that a game should only be able to win the award when it first releases and anything after that whether it be ports or remakes don't really count for such awards.

I have to say I disagree in principle.  If you're judging it by today's standard in the score, shouldn't it also get a chance to compete against today's games for GOTY?  On the other hand, you could just say "well we decided to give the other games a chance and not get destroyed, so we excluded this" but that's more out of pity than principle. 

Frankly if a game released 13 years ago can still be GOTY in 2011, I want to see that shit go up on the scoreboard!  Proof once and for all that Nintendo games are timeless! 

P.S.  I admit there's also the practical challenge of finding judges you can count on to not have rose colored glasses, but also not be biased against it.
