I wouldn't mind the choices, but - (Score:4, Insightful)
That's probably the only rule change I'd want enforced: game must be played by the critics doing the voting, not just seen.

If a game is on that list, then judges have played it.

They *HAD* the option. They weren't forced to play it. Always read between the lines.

MGS4 FTW! (Score:2)
Oh, and I'm also shocked that Assassin's Creed was on there - the trailer was neat, but no one knows anything else about it.

Assassin's Creed, in playable form, by invite only? Price of flight down to E3 by employer.
Videogame fanboy a little confused with Game Critics list of choices? Priceless.

Seriously, what has the Metal Gear series done that's new and exciting since the original Metal Gear Solid? The last two were the same game with a couple of new gameplay mechanics (and in the case of MGS2 an infinitely dumber story) tacked on.

No matter how you try to sell it: Geriatric != Bad-ass
Besides after playing Splinter cell I never want to look at another MGS game. Not to mention you can get your SC fix on whatever platform you perfer... and it looks great (or as good as possible) on all of them.
Bu the biggest selling point is I don't even need to buy a $600 next-g
