2011 game of the year - list?

I believe last year Game of the Year stuff went through a custom list that was then compiled into a community tally.

Am I jumping the gun here or is this not happening?

Not sure. I hope it's happening again.

I think they are doing something different this year. Dave posted a link to an app they made that will aggregate people's predictions for each staff members respective game of the year. Anyone spot on gets a prize, but that is so unlikely. They said they will do something really cool with the data.

Of course they're gonna do it, it's a no brainer.

@AhmadMetallic: I would hope so. Wouldn't it be up by now though or at least mentioned in some form?

Brad leaving has halted the GOTY plans. It was posted on Twitter.

Nope, so you're just going to have to make a pretentious blog post about your GOTY awards instead.

I hope so, my body -- err...list -- is ready...

I think it might start next week, when Game of the Year actually starts.

Yeah, they've liked to run Game of the year... you know, at the end of the year. When all games are out, and you can really start thinking about how the year in retrospective, with most of the games you are going to play during the year already finished.

I don't remember exactly which day they started last year, but I found Giant Bomb's Game of the Year 2010: Day One, from last year - December 27th, finishing with the Best Multiplatform & Overall game of the year on January 1st.

Don't worry, I'm sure they haven't forgotten. :P
