I think that the most recent World of Warcraft expansion is an amazing accomplishment that is worthy of respect. I don't personally think it's my 'game of the year', however I think that it deserves an amount of recognition. I know it won't, because in general, when the gaming press looks into an old MMO's expansion pack they start a new character. I hear loads of gaming journalists talk about how they played the first ten levels and then were dumped back into the old stuff. That's because it takes like, a good 40 hours of play time to make it to the actual new stuff. The expansion offers a great leveling experience, and, in my opinion an excellent end game. The game just feels so refined, so right.
All of the MMO love will fall to Guild War's 2, however, which has, in my opinion, a comparatively awful end game (Which is understandable, being a new game, however, I think you'd be hard pressed to argue that GW2 is a 'better mmo' than WoW MoP.)
And of course, if Journey or The Walking Dead get snubbed for being "Downloadable Games" everything is fucked forever and the world is terrible.
