Well this is better then 2007 where Super Mario Galaxy wasn't a nominee. Spike is trying to be less biased this year, but still. No Gears or Forza, doesn't make sense.
Forza 4 is my GOTY.
P.S. Pokemon isn't even a nominee for best handheld game :-O! neither is Zelda: OoT

GOW3 was a great but it's just that their have been some games that have been better. Batman:Arkham City,Portal 2,Skyrim,Zelda and Uncharted 3 are simply better games.

Lol, really, you going to say X 9.5/10 game is better then x 9.5/10 game? Gears and Forza are quality titles, same level of quality as Uncharted, Batman, Portal, Skyrim, and Zelda. Heck, the metascore for Gears and Forza is only .1 below Uncharted 3, and .2 below Zelda.
Don't bring in that BS.
It's all a matter of personal opinion, and it's just odd not to see Gears of War 3, MS's flagship 2011 title, as a nominee.
Still better then 2007 where Super Mario Galaxy was excluded, and SMG won GOTY on almost every other website that year.

Hostile and defensive are we? Why should Gears 3 be nominated, simply because it is Mictosoft's flagship title? If it's all a matter of opinion then why is it weird to see an opinion that doesn't include Gears 3 in the top 5 games of the year. Again, as somebody who purchased a 360 for the Gears series and who adores the third installment of the series I have to say that it just didn't deserve the nomination and the critics at Spike.com agreed, it's just that simple.

No, it's weird not to see Gears of war 3 in the nominee's because it's GOTY material, and probably the most complete package to all games that came out this year. Best Multiplayer IMHO, and a really good 10 hour long campaign. This game shows huge improvements in the story department over older Gears of War games, and it's a high quality AAA title.
I'm not going to argue that Gears 3 should be on Spike VGA nominee list, they are terrible at making any decisions game related (take 2007 for instance above). However, no Forza or Gears is really weird for a GOTY list.
If Uncharted 3 or Zelda wasn't nominated, we would have the same thread. Maybe not so much Zelda since it's Wii and Spike makes terrible Nintendo nominees (Pokemon isn't a nominee for best DS game, and XenoBlade should be included for best Wii game even if it wasn't localized), but yea.
And yes, hostile and defensive. I don't go around calling Zelda "lesser quality" then Gears of War, or inFamous. Everyone has their own opinions, pushing your opinions as facts is just silly.
