I understand what you're saying but is there even a Nintendo publication that gives ratings to games? Does Nintendo Power do that? If not, I can see why they weren't included (I haven't read a Nintendo Power in almost 20 years).
As for computer games stacking the deck, that's only fair given the nature of most game publications. In case you hadn't noticed, EGM, Game Informer, etc. don't give much notice to PC gaming at all. The list needed a few computer guys to balance the list a bit and IMO, they chose the most obvious publications for voting.
Then they tossed in a few of the non-traditional big boys (USA Today, Yahoo, etc.) to round things out a bit. I have no problems with any of the publications they chose for the panel.
