When Uncharted 2 was clearly the Game of the Year for 2009?

Don't know what game your talking about, but a lot of games do that. For example, Left 4 Dead 1 had a GOTY edition, but I don't think that was GOTY on any site in 2008.

Why is it the apparent job of forum posters to provide content for the original post that the OP himself failed to provide?

So was Arkham Asylum. It was just Metroid mixed with a hand to hand combat system that worked and Batman. 
Thats all it needed apparently.

i am guessing that you are talking about batman? and there is no one game of the year, there is no comity deciding on what game can have a GOTY version.  
why does it upset you?

L4D won it from Destructoid so there goes that theory.

Oh, well my bad then. But the point of the post is that a game doesn't need to be a unanimous GOTY to get a GOTY edition. Its just something publishers do to put their game back on shelves again, usually with any added content on disc.

Not a lot of Metroid type games.
 
Plenty of third person shooters.
 
But yeah, any publisher can make a GOTY version of their games. As long as it's been well received and sold enough.

@ricetopher: Oh, it's defiantly about marketing.  As far as I know, none have been false advertising,though.

GOTY: Chutes and Ladders?  They added escalators to it to give it more strategy I believe.

@MasturbatingBear: Sure, lemme take this multi-colored Star of David and see how many marbles I can flip over each other to get to the other side. Oh, and lemme call it "Chinese Checkers" even though it was made in Germany.

@RichardLOlson: Nah its spelled chutes http://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-4555-S5-Chutes-Ladders/dp/B00000DMF6, unless you are talking about the first person shooter of Chutes and Ladders.  I heard that game was good but buggy especially when it came to walking up the ladders, can no game make walking up ladders look and feel right?

Lots of games get Game of the Year editions the same year. Different publications give different games the award as well.

Still dunno what game has already come out with a Game of the Year edition. 
 
That said, UC2 was definitely not my pick for GOTY. Batman, Assassin's Creed II, and for me, Beatles Rock Band all top out UC2 from last year, and Demon's Souls, Dragon Age, and MW2 have also won it elsewhere. (Beatles didn't, though, which is sad.)

They don't give a damn if it got game of the year from anyone, if they want to make a GOTY edition they're going to. I don't know who "they" is in this case, but yeah...

@Lambert: whatever you were trying to post this under, ended up in General discussion. I'm assuming it's Batman and if so...you are correct. Of course most games are someones GOTY.
