The vga's did something right, halo or cod didn't innovate enough to warrant a goty nomination.

As a fan of Halo, who has replayed each Halo game several times, I can tell you that Halo 4 is the best Halo, one of the best games of all time and deserves nomination for best game of the year. It inovated in all the right ways and maintained what needed to be maintained.

As a non-halo, who has only played Halo reach for mere minutes, I say nope. It's the same thing, in a different location. See how that works?

OT: Well excuse VGA for actually for trying to add some variety into the mix. Halo and COD for game of the year would have been a snore fest either. I'm sure they will win big in their own categories but to see games like Dishonored, Journey, TWD, new IP from this gen is very refresing. What's even better is seen that 4 out of the 5 GotY selections are multiplat. 

Excuse me if I don't take seriously the opinion of someone who admits to having almost no Halo experience.

Halo 4 has not left my Xbox 360 since it came out and I've only played about 3 multiplayer sessions. The multiplayer is a refinment of the last, but the campaign is the best I've played in a long time. The only game that even comes close this year is Mass Effect 3.
