@Torillian: I personally believe that a 60$ game that only lasts 7hours is ridiculous :P Especially if that game is then nominated for GOTY awards. Essentially it all boils down to what I said earlier, is this the best the video game world has to offer? No, there are bigger, better, bolder, prettier, artsier etc games that have been released this year.

Also, length isn't a scale where it is longer=better. Its more like a bar. If a game surpasses a certain length then it can be seen as having enough heft to it to be considered a full game. Journey is an idea that was prettily executed and well choreographed but it isn't a grand orchestra of magnificent video game design. Its just not enough for me to consider it a full game and not enough for me to even consider it as being the best game of the year.
