lock my thread please http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=95067&page=1#

Out of those GOTY nominees, I'd say Assassin's Creed II deserves it.

Shadow Complex would at least be on my list of a 360 GOTY. Great, great game. Why isn't Left 4 Dead 2 on the list? IGN gushed over it.

Left4Dead 2 got the shaft for overall GotY. =/

I would've included it over Batman or Street Fighter (probably Batman).

best aftermarket support?!
best indie game?!
best xbox live arcade game?!

maaan they use every excuse to make an award. Moneyhats.

Thanks for making the thread. Tons of awards to be given out... guess they want to offend no one ;)
