YES! I mean, good for Nintendo, they deserved it for the first time in at least 4 or 5 years in my opinion.
Pretty sure G4 hates Nintendo, so I think it's pretty cool that Skyward Sword is in the final.

...Well Bloodwriter, it seems that someone has anger issues. I was just pointing out that it was rather odd that you apparently said that you didn't care about this whole thing yet stopped to write a comment about it, Jesus calm down.

I like both games, though Skyward Sword actually is my Game of the Year. That's for me though. An objective, universal Game of the Year? Doesn't exist.

Skyrim players were busy playing the actual game. Zelda kids were all fanboying like crazy and rage-voted. Skyrim wins by default :D
And how pray tell does Skyrim win by default even though Skyrim has it's own legion of crazy and over the top fanboyism?.

Probably because people who have Skyrim are playing Skyrim, people who have Zelda just want the world to know how good it is.

People care about G4?

thats bigger news, we should poll that! Would be a more interesting topic than a Zelda fanboi gloating about an award that means nothing to most people.

I think Fifa 12 should have beat Skyward Sword but hey! thats just me

No, people who like Skyrim were too busy posting about how they took an arrow to the knee.

All this contest proves is that, among users of G4.com, there are more Zelda fans than Elder Scrolls fans. This poll isn't indicative of any trend beyond the group at g4tv.com

In terms of raw sales, Skyrim has outsold Skyward Sword thus far (granted, it has been out longer) but I wouldn't be surprised if SS outstrips it come the holidays.

Still, this poll only proves that G4 users enjoyed Skyward Sword more than Skyrim by about 2%

Honestly, I don't really care, about G4 or that compitition. I don't need a compitition to tell me what the Game of the Year is because for me it's Skyrim. Also I was reading the comments on that earlier and it seemed, going from the comments, that fans of both games were making multiple accounts and vote bombing, so it wasn't exactly a legitimate compitition.

Also considering that the Game of the Year is entirely subjective I always find competitions like this pointless.

I don't see why I should care about who wins some G4 contest. G4 sucks, and they would still suck even if they agreed with me about Skyrim.

Considering this is the same poll where Gears of War 3 beat both Deus Ex and Dark Souls, I'm taking any and all results from them with a grain of salt. Still, good for skyward sword. I've only played a bit, and it's not bad. I personally like Skyrim more, but hey, tomato, potato.

I think the bad Skyrim PS3 lag (now affecting 360's too) hurt Skyrim a bit. Shame; the game is great, but it fireballs itself in the foot with its technical problems.

Zelda, though? Pure bliss. Gaming at its core. Though, geez, Fi, shut up and stop stating the obvious. I know how to climb a stupid ladder.

I voted for Skyrim and it lost... boo hoo?

It keeps me from voting between Assassins Creed and Skyrim, which would've been a far more difficult decision for me then Skyward Sword. While I would've been very happy if Skyrim won, it doesn't really make a difference since I'll never play skyward sword anyway.

Nail meets head.

Skyward sword is my favourite game this year, but I care of this not one jot. Popularity contests mean nothing.

I used to fly through Skyloft on my glorious winged mount, then I took an arrow to the knee.

I like both games; I really don't see why people feel the need to argue over which is better = \

I've sunk more hours into skyrim so far (mostly because I got it a week earlier and Ive been too busy with exams coming up to play zelda), but Skyward Sword seems like a pretty fun game so far.

Well, I don't really care.
But I still post.

Because I think that a game that has to be valid as Game of the year has to run on a majority of the systems. Not just WII or PS3 exclusive. If a game can't bother to be ported to the other systems it's not worth being named game of the year.
You might call it PC Game of the year or Wii Game of the year but anything else is just ridiculously senseless in my opinion. Feel free to disagree but that's my personal prequisite.

So what you're saying is, no Nintendo game should ever get game of the year, regardless of critical reception or popularity? = \

Would this standard have counted back in the day when almost all games were exclusives?

What? Some internet poll says Skyward Sword is better than Skyrim or something like that?
