I understand that it's your opinion, but I can easily turn around and say that Journey and ME3 didn't deserve to win any GOTY awards!

To me OP seems like he only plays Nintendo games. That's very biased.
In fact most of the Nintendo gamers i've come across on this site prefer to only play Nintendo games.
I play all all the consoles/handhelds so I try to be unbaised (despite my user name). So while I prefer playstation, it doesn't sway my choices any.

There are plenty of non-Nintendo games on that list like Deus Ex, Shinning Force, RE4, Gears and so on.. It doesn't seem like such a biased list to me!

Most referring to the recent games.
Most people would not pick Portal 2 (multiplatform), Xenoblade, Zelda 3ds, and Mario Kart 8 as GOTY for those years.
Nintendo only GOTY? Of course. I'm just saying.
If I were to pick mine starting from 2007 they would closely resemble what most video game sites say..... As a reference. Here they are:
2007 - Call of Duty 4: Easily the best COD ever created. The campaign is actually good, and it started the online craziness as it is today. Mass Effect would be here if it were more polished. All other CODs have been utter crap after Modern Warefare 2 (even that was just decent). COD4 changed more and had a much better impact than Bioshock. However I'm okay with Bioshock as your pick. It's either or, really. Personal preference. Halo 3 would also be up there. Galaxy 1 would probably be my personal # 2 with Bioshock at 3.
2008 - Super Smash Bros Brawl: The easiest pick here. i personally have spent over 1000 hours playing this game solo and with friends. Probably the most perfect release if purely talking about gameplay that I've ever played. Good pick. Any other pick simply never played Brawl.
2009 - Uncharted 2 Among Thieves: Again another easy pick. Demon's Souls was great, but Uncharted 2 is a borderline masterpiece. Such a perfect game. You'd either have to be crazy or just never played Uncharted 2 to not place it on 2009 GOTY. Demon's Souls had some gameplay faults as well.
2010 - Mass Effect 2: Again, Galaxy 2 is a wonderful game, but Mass Effect 2 improves upon it's predecessor in many more ways than Galaxy 2 did. ME2 is one of the best games of all time.
2011 - The Elder Scrolls Skyrim - Portal 2 is simply not a GOTY. It's way too short and honestly doesn't change up anything from Portal 1. Don't get me wrong; I LOVED Portal 2. But Skyrim changed up from Oblivion and literally contained hundreds of gametime. Breaktaking game that people still play today.
2012 - Journey: hardest pick here. Was going to pick Far Cry 3 and give the "Journey is too short" excuse but you cannot ignore the significance that Journey had when it released. Another breaktaking acheivement in gaming. And come on man. Xenoblade??? REALLY??? I've beaten Xenoblade twice and loved it. But it's not better than Journey or Far Cry 3. It'd be my #3 in 2012. That pick really certified your biased opinion.
2013 - The Last of Us: This was the kicker right here. I'm not hating on Zelda 3ds. I, again, have played it. I've beaten it once and am on my 2nd playthrough (probably won't finish again tho, backlog too big). There is NO WAY Zelda 3ds is a better game than The Last of Us. You simply have not played TLoU. Simple. Anyone crazy enough to not pick TLoU in 2013 either hates Playstation products or simply haven't played it. Also Bioshock Infinite is the #2 this year. Zelda comes in at my (and most people) as their #4 or #5.
2014 - Super Smash Bros Wii U - Sorry bud but you got it wrong again. Mario Kart 8 is great, but you simply CANNOT beat smash. I can't reiterate again how perfect Smash's gameplay is. It doesn't change much up from Brawl when compared to the likes of new experiences this year like Middle Earth SoM, or some others, but neither does Mario Kart 8 (my personal #2) so I'm going with Smash.
Under normal circimstances I'd give you Kart 8 as personal preference; but this is NOT a normal circumstance. You must hate Smash. That game is perfection.
This list is more unbiased and factual because I have played all of the best games of most years. You need to come clean and simply state that you are picking only Nintendo games because you don't play other games.
That's fine; but change the title to "My favorite games" or "The best Nintendo games" of the years.
How can you pick a GOTY when you haven't played all the games?!?!?!
