There were a LOT of people that listed one game, or two games, or just listed them without numbering them. There were people that listed XBLA and VC games. There was a guy that listed WoW. There were people that listed Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Mario Kart DS. There were a LOT of people that simply did not read the rules. So, sorry to all the Europeans that paid attention, but there were some American duders that didn't know what they were doing.

The only thing that would've changed would've been that PWAA and SotC would've been behind Okami and ahead of Bully in the Adventure GotY section, and PWAA would've been Adventure GotY for the handhelds instead of DQH.

sorry there's no way you could legitimately tell who was not following the rules so since one of your rules is "must be released in your region" you're simply choosing to actively invalidate the votes of many, many posters and that's lame.

I know it's just GAF voting awards, and totally insignificant, but this annoys me!

Glad to see Gears of War and Oblivion fair so well. Those games rock and deserve to be up there on every list this year.
 
I've always disliked the debate over semantics of what is a "game" when it comes to GOTYs, so I'm pleased that at least GAF folks value all new 'game experiences and content' the same. The borders are blurring so much; "full" games from EA, massive expansions from Blizzard, mmo patches rivaling some expansions, episodic and other downloadable content. I rather just see them all as new game experiences and waste no more time on the matter - time better spent on debating their actual quality.

So I'm pleased to see Half Life 2's Episode 1's nomiations and selection for FPS of the year.

Something is seriously wrong when both of these games can be placed in the same genre.

I thought DQH was considered 'action-adventure', not just adventure?

I hope Rare can take solace in the fact that their piñata game may have sold like crap but it somehow cracked the top 10 on the most jaded forum known to man.

One more note - the only game from my top 8 list (I didn't play 10 games worthy of being included on a best of 2006 list) that didn't make the cut was Bully. Nice to see GAF does have taste. :)

Anyway, pleased with the results. :)

GameSpot's awards were utter shit. EuroGamer's were much better.

Under NeoGAF's I can sign with my both hands.

Very nice and very true.

No moneyhatting, no bullshitting, just great games.

Why do MGS:pO and YIDS have the same amount of points and the same rank in the overall ranking but not in the Handheld Game of the Year section (Why is YIDS number 8 and not number 7, too?).

Besides that: Great work, well done, Anihawk :). NeoGAF definately has a much better taste thanmost reviewing pages ^^. I don't see a single category where I would say "No way".

I forgot to vote. Not like it mattered, since Twilight Princess was going to get my personal GOTY award anyway.

Technically, it would have...

1. Been in the standings list
2. Been in second place in one of the categories

It's silly and unimportant, obviously, but it always annoys me when peoples votes are so easily dumped for no real reason.
