I'm working on my vote I have a question how can you put a FPS having the best replay value ???? are you really replaying a FPS more than action or RPG games ???
or you are counting in the multiplayer in which case I understand both of the voters choice for that categories??

me in my case I replayed exhibition games in table tennis a lot... but if I have to put the replay value of game objectively games like ME would be my choice.... it's the principle of the game to be replayable differently...

Indeed it is

but mass effect and bioshock also deserve GOTY and i cant decide.....

by far the best year of gaming ever for me



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

How about a category for games that were good but people just didn’t get around to buying?
