I agree with the authors decision by not including blogs, but everything else just seems like cherry picking.
* Video Game Awards Only - The Video Game includes Console & PC Games,but not Handheld games, Mac games, Kids games, Indie games, etc.
* Professional Awards Only - The Media include Sites, Magazines, Newspapers, Publications, Broadcastings, but not Blogs have a staff of one.
* All-Format GOTY Awards Only - But a single GOTY pick must be a single title, except for a tie.
