I would let it go if they at least nominated SMG for GOTY. I don't care if it wins and I wouldn't really care if its the only Nintendo game on the entire list. But not even nominating it? Like, what the hell, seriously.

Halo, halo 2, halo 3 dont have the same song.. theres minor differences

I wonder how the nominations were developed. The "advisory council" seems to have people from virtually every major gaming website/magazine publisher as well as many just connected to the industry. I wonder if the GOTY nominee had to have an M rating for Spike?

 Just becuase people "love it" doesnt mean its good. ton of chicks love the movie the notebook,  it doesnt make that a GREAT movie. Saying GOTY should be based on how many people love it is just stupid. It should be based on average critics rating. Which Halo 3 got a 9.2/10. i am not saying that is bad just saying games like Call of duty 4 and Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime did better in that.

No by popular meaning its "goty" to most people GOTY is opinion, gamerankings is NOT fact on how great a game is. No one will ever know because its based on opinion. GOTY to many will be bioshock or halo 3, or mass effect, or galaxy, or uncharted, or whatever. But opinions are opinions, and to many GOTy is halo 3, and many think that so popularity will always have a huge influence over game awards because its GOTY to many. If spike wants to go completely based on its own opinion then you cant attack it.

Halo has a 9.32 on gamerankings and a 9.4 on metacritic...... that and it beats out metroid prime big time with a 89...... and your ratchet and clank uncharted games didnt even get into the 9's so why are you listing them. Your logic is flawed there as well

You are entitled to your whole opinion on why the spike awards are gonna suck but you attack mutliple games in the process. Halo 3 is NOT the biggest dissapointment to alot of people, in your opinion maybe but saying it is is just like me saying uncharted sucks monkey balls.

Opinions can not be right or wrong.

But they can be biased.

But Lost, facts can make a game worse, but opinions can not make it better.

Just because Super Mario Galaxy isn't on the list (pretty crazy though) it doesn't give you a reason to hate on Halo.

Spike is aimed at frat boys who play Halo while eating chicken wings. It's sad, but there is some good programming (Ultimate Fighting, MXC).

Hmmm

i think the list is wrong, im really not defending spike at all, just the games they selected on their goty list and why they do deserve to be on their, but maybe a few other games also deserve to be on there or take their place..

Facts can, but when i play some of my favorite games i dont give a crap about their gamerankings or whatever, its my opinion that they are goty material
