World of Warcraft: Wratch of the Lich King broke records, has added more content in a single expansion than any "sequel" released this year, and is getting AAA scores everywhere and in the case of the usually harsh site Eurogamer -- AAAA.

And they already have their preliminaries up for GOTY?:lol:

yeah too many people ignore the fact that WoW just dominated the world once again, after facing down several new MMOs this year.

I sure wouldn't support a game that ruins so many kids lives. Supporting it as in giving it the advertisement that comes from a review. It will be a sad day for them when they realize they have used up a large portion of their youth playing a game that has had no impact towards their real life.

Kids ruin their own lives, you shouldn't diss a masterpiece because some kid had nothing to do with his life.

It's a computer game, I fail to see how it earns the label "geeky" more than any other title.

I think for a game to win GOTY, it has to actually be a game, not an expansion.

Besides, why would you want them to review an MMO right away?

Most game sites have had their hands out well before the release date, and it's been nearly 3 weeks since that release date anyways.

To be fair MMORPG's should be games you spend a lot of time to review because of all the additional stuff and trying out the side quests replay value ect.

Good review sites review MMOs in a timely fashion, and re-review them later (Eurogamer).

I really liked AoC, if it wasn't for the technical issues, I may have played past the trial month. At least better then that overrated WoW crap.

Yes WoW is clearly overrate 0_o You'd think the 11 million people and all the professional critics would realize that after the 3rd installment of the game.

MMOs are addicting, people have addicting personalities, they get hooked, omg omg omg omg hype, 9/10, the same game 100% could have come out in like korea, where they play hundreds of MMOs, and it would have maybe gotten a fanbase of a couple million, but it would fall through the cracks, and all korean MMOs suck anyway.

WoW is a great game, but another expansion is unnecessary. The game was better before Burning Crusade.

But in all honesty, even though I still love World of Warcraft after having it for over 3 years, I don't know how anyone can get addicted to this game. I get bored after playing it for over an hour straight which is why I hate doing raids and regular instances.

A voice of reason? This is System Wars, right? GameSpot does not consider expansions for GotY nor any title originally released in a previous year. Lich King is impressive, but it is still an expansion to an already impresive game. You might want to check our special achievement category for expansions though. It might pop up there. . . maybe. ;)

I think too it's the biggest game in the 21st century (over 11 millions suscribers as of now...), and I've never played it. Although biggest does not necessarily mean best, it's right up there with the best games of the past decade.

Last year, they had Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition as one of the Wii Game of the Year titles. Don't say that Wii didn't have any other good games, because they didn't even include Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. So how come out of the piles of games, a game already released three years ago (At the time. It's four years now.) was nominated?

The poll to which you refer with your second rhetorical inquiry has the following disclaimer:

In your opinion, which of the following games has the most momentum going into the 2008 awards?

To see which games we chose as our finalists, you'll have to tune in to our GotY announcement broadcast in a couple (or three) weeks

Well the score is out and once again Blizzard keeps proving why they are the best developers in the field.
