i agree with pretty much everything you just said.
Because people don't have their own opinions. Just kidding, anyway I thought Mass Effect was game of the year in my book. I'm one of the few people who can look over the glitches and appreciate the story and how it immerses you. I was actually digging Bioshock until half-way through I realized that there wasn't anything that was going to 'wow' me except maybe one or two plot twists.
I stopped playing Halo 3 after two weeks of my purchase. I agree that I'm not going to be playing Bioshock for the next 4 or 5 years, nontheless I'm still calling it my GOTY.
Replay value =/= good. That's all i have to say.
Agreed. BioShock =/= GotY for me.
False. Orange Box or Call of Duty 4. I didn't agree with Bioshock but I would have disagreed with Halo 3 even more.
@ Shadow what do you have against Halo 3? If you have a good group of freinds who have it your set.
Most single player games that are highly plot driven don't have replay value, that has always been a given for me. But I don't think that just because a game has multiplayer it is therefore superior to a very well crafted single player game.
I personally don't think that Bioshock is GotY, I think that Portal along takes that.
I would have rather seen portal over Bioshock as well.
I wouldn't get all excited over which game got GOTY, because everyone's opinion will be different. No buildings will fall down and no quake will split the ground because Halo 3 or <insert personal favorite game of 2007 here> didn't make game of the year.

Alright, so the arguement seems to be over replay value, and while I find it important, it's not so much the deciding factor in choosing a GoTY. Bioshock obviously doesn't have the replay value of Halo 3, anyone with half a brain knew that going into it, but it has some. You rate a game by what is there and it's not always quantity over quality, while I agree with Reaprar that replay value is definitely good, it's not always the deciding factor, and a game like Bioshock, so masterfully made with an excellent story and some solid gameplay IMO is more worthy of an award like GoTY then Halo 3.
I bought Halo 3 and played the campaign and a few online matches then traded it in. It really is not good to me and I don't see the appeal. I would rather play Quake3.
Bioshock is like a classic movie in that I won't see myself watching it every other day, but maybe every year or two I'll pop it in and have a fantastic experience.
