It's sad that GOTY awards lack diversity but then I guess it a game couldn't be a GOTY without a majority vote.

Actually this year seems very diverse. Usually I notice one game as a frontrunner and everyone else bringing up the rear. Now we have two vying for first place and another two vying for second place.
