GTA4's scores should be altered to reflect its decieving Metacritic rating that implies it is better than SMG.

Clearly it is not

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

So both GTA4 and MGS4 got perfect 10's, but no GOTY?

Can you spell m-o-n-e-y-h-a-t-t-i-n-g?

Meh, IGN's GoTY awards have always been a joke. Gamespot's are better.

I wunt say it was moneyhatting... The game reviews are made by each team aint they? Whereas GOTY is decided by ALL teams/factions/pages (whatever you wanna call them) in a Group voting system. imo MGS4 deserved it... but i HAVE played Fallout 3 the most so far this gen. lets face it... its an amazing game and kudos to Bethesda
