Spike TV??? Does this even really count?

At the end of the day, to determine GOTY we'll need to tally up the winner from each of the actual review sites to see which game gets the most votes.

yeah thats how it should be done

A lot of award programs are lumping Mario under "action," actually -- 1up just did so, for example.

The fact that there is no Platformer or "Casual" category but there is both a "shooter" category and a "military game" category is quite telling where their priorities lie here. This is a manly man's show.

Nintendo has specifically used the term "testosterone driven" to describe Sony and Microsoft's strategy with their platforms; they clearly meant it as a pejorative, and they implied they were going a different direction. The direction the Wii has just does not fit a show that has categories for best action game, best shooter game, AND best military game, but has to akwardly jam Mario Galaxy and Wii Sports in to categories they really don't belong in.

Nice post, but does that mean Nintendo is estrogen driven?

Just remember, all of the GotY nominees were M-rated fare on the 360 with Gamerankings score between 92 and 96.

Not a shabby list ... but not a well-rounded one either -- especially when E-rated SMG on the Wii has a score of 98 (highest of the generation).

I cannot say that SMG is better than all those games ... but it certainly should have been nominated.

I am Mario.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
