Quoted from Tuna_Delight:I think POTC truly deserved the GOTY award more than IMDN. Of course that's just my opinion, but I have played both games a lot which I suspect is more than many IMDN voters can honestly say as there are just so many more Maidens out in the real world than Pirates.
It was a great show and the TWIPYs are all in fun of course. Once sufficient time has passed though and pinheads look back on past winners vs losers with a more objective perspective, I think there will be more than a few folks scratching their heads and asking themselves "What were they thinking?!"
I could see either winning it and be happy. Keith’s design is so fresh, I can see why it won. The theme isnt recycled too. Pirates is packed, crazy deep and fun and could have easily won.
