We didn't even do a site list. I think a major reason preventing us from doing a site GOTY list is that we just don't have enough time to play everything and thus wouldn't feel right about combining our favorites like that. Also, in some ways our opinions are so drastically different between writers that we'd have lots of outliers. It just seemed more logical, at least in our first year, to do only Editors picks. However, down the road, maybe we'll have more regular staff and be able to use a formula like this. I’m glad you enjoy reading Editor’s picks because thats exactly what we did on WingDamage.
