As you surely have noticed now if you log onto the forums, well...ever, people not being happy with Gamespot is not rare. If an editor doesn't score a game just right, there will be a group of people here on the forums that will be very vocal about their favorite game ever that they haven't played yet being scored lower then, say, a nine. Then of course there was the whole Jeff thing, although to be fair, thats more CNet buisness then anyone at Gamespot.

Now we have the Best of 2007 Award dealies. I usually don't take notice of these things, I mean, its interesting to see what the staff consider to be the very best of the year, but if a game I liked doesn't win a certain award, I'm not really going to think twice about it. But it doesn't appear as though lots of people share this same mentality. As with very nice and logical people who are vocal about their dissatisfaction with the editorial team, now there are people actually complaining about games not winning awards.

To be fair, most of the threads are just "'x' game didn't win 'x' award...OH NOES!", but its this thread that caught my attention.

As it would appear. Someone has "lost faith in Gamespot"...because certain games didn't win awards.

Outstanding.

By the way, as I mentioned I got Guitar Hero III for Christmas, its freaking addictive. I want to play Mario Galaxy (and to a lesser extent Need for Speed Pro Street)...but I just keep getting lured back to that wonderous guitar playing dealie.
