I love how you use the metascore to put down The Last of Us but then make an excuse for Super Mario Galaxy. Sorry but GTA IV is the highest rated game of the 7th console generation by metascore, no excuses. That being said, GTA IV and Galaxy "only" won 39 and 44 GOTY awards respectively whereas The Last of Us won 249.

I actually put GTA IV on there, it just has a substantially lower user score. That's all.

Game of the Year awards didn't exist in the current numbers as they did back in the day of many of these releases that came before the 7th Gen, its a terrible and lopsided metric. User scores and general reviewer scores, however, have existed in numerous quantities for ages.

Both valid points, bravo good sir. That being said, The Last of Us dominated by taking a far greater percentage of the GOTY awards while GTA IV and Galaxy were runners up (vs Fallout 3 and Bioshock).
