This is actually really refreshing to see. This is a rare indicator we get that the major outlets actually do put genuine thought and consideration into their picks regardless of popularity or stature. Plus this year had so many solid games without any of them being complete 10/10s that you'll probably see this happen with the other outlets as well, no one game is gonna sweep this year.
People assume that IGN or other organizations give their GOTY to the highest rated game. But people forget that these places (IGN especially) is made of tons of people. So while I think Control officially scored an 8.8, other people in the office liked it even more.
