well the gamereactor one didn't have a link that I could see, and if it doesn't have a link you don't count it

Wow... the Wii got hosed for GOTY awards.

Oh, and I would like to add that I am actually satisfied for as long as GTA4 doesn't win. I don't like GTA xP

Well....Gamefaqs user vote gave it to Brawl.  Here's a link, but they didn't seem to really anounce it so much as it was a forum thing to my knowledge, so I don't know if it counts:

Alt+f4 gave it to MGS4

@torillian

if we count that forum

then we need to count neo-gaf which gave it to MGS4 & also Vg chartz that gave it to LBP

best to not count forums

I say we count gamefaqs since we DID count vgchartz :p and lets throw in neo-gaf just for the lulz :p

This is Machina's thread so he gets to make the decision, but I don't feel we should be counting forum awards. You'd be surprised at how many nobody forums are out there with GOTY threads and if we count one, we need to count them all and it could get messy. I'm personally fine with reader's choice as long as it's labelled as such and it's presented as a poll officially hosted by the website.
