Sometimes, ads can be a good thing. If it wasn't for an advertisement, I wouldn't have been introduced to one of my favourite game series when I was young. (Also, I don't own a 360 to know exactly how intrusive these ads actually are.) Although I do agree that you should not have these ads if you are paying for the service.
I have only played one of these games from the list of nominees so I am in no position to judge who should win Game of the Year. However, my slight bias is telling me to quietly root for Journey.
