    Taken from the article:
     
    "To qualify for an award games had to be released between May 2008 and May 2009.

    The only exception is the 'one to watch' award which covers games released since then."

    Doesn't change the fact that these awards are obviously completely out of touch.  You don't do game of the year for 2008 when 2009 is almost over. And it's still almost six months after May anyway.  These awards are stupid.

    Everyone knows Too Human was the game of the year! Wait, does it even qualify...? Ahh whatever! It doesn't need to qualify. TOOOOO HUMAN!!
     
    joking aside, the time frame on this game award show is completely ridiculous.

    The time frame may be skewed but it's still right in my opinion.

    Even though I've spent countless hours on that game, I still don't think it should've won GOTY.
