Come to think of it, wasn't there also a PSP version of Force Unleashed that wasn't terrible? Or at least not noticeably more terrible than the other portable ones?
Just to clear up the rules here a bit more, and for future reference...I noticed Alone in the Dark (X360, Wii, PC?) and the probably-its-own-game Alone in the Dark: Inferno (PS3) aren't on the list. I'm not voting for them...I doubt anyone will miss them, but they are full-fledged platform releases. Do you want to bother with this kind of stuff, mcc?
I seem to remember some people on the forums liking it.
I'm not arguing that so much as wondering whether or not mcc is going for a full and complete list that will see quite a few games get one or two-if any-votes or if omitting a few to give a clearer picture of what was the cream of the crop is what he's going for.
Because I can burn some spare time at work hunting down titles this year.
Well, I mean, he says in the first post that he doesn't want to eliminate it to just the cream of the crop. I take that as "all games get a fair shake."
AITD was blasted by nearly everyone, but if I thought it was my GOTY, I'd be pissed if I couldn't vote for it.

Full and complete list with games that get only one or two votes is definitely the plan. The thing is sometimes it turns out that games you'd expect to only get one or two votes get quite a few. Check out last year's results if you want to see this at work (for example, I never would have guessed that "skate." would have scored near the top, while Lair and Syphon Filter (etoychest's editorial GOTY...) would get about three votes each).
Motorstorm Pacific Rift (PS3) needs to be on this list. It reminds me so much of Burnout 3 but take out the crashing benefits and add in greater boost management and significantly greater differences in vehicle performance. Play together with Paradise for best results

I don't know why we are even bothering this year. Everyone who has played the retail copy of Nuts & Bolts knows it should win. Anyone who hasn't played the retail copy of Nuts & Bolts is soulless human being so their vote doesn't count.

I'd say Disgaea DS wouldn't because it's practically the same game as before with an extra dungeon/bosses/d00ds, but DQIV would because of graphical improvements, such as the hop to 3-D.

Check out last year's results if you want to see this at work (for example, I never would have guessed that "skate." would have scored near the top, while Lair and Syphon Filter (etoychest's editorial GOTY...) would get about three votes each).
Ooh. Would you say it should count as the same game as the Wii version?
Actually I would but I'm only going on screenshots from the Wii.
I also want to add Civilization IV: Colonization (PC) which used the engine but was released as a separate game.
And I hope someone does a top mods thing because shit like "Fall From Heaven 2" really deserve a mention.

Nah, Chrono Trigger doesn't count according to his second post. Just a dungeon was all they added.
