Shaun's 2006 Game of the Year Awards!

I would just like to say that MGS 3 is my favorite game of all time, and in 2004 it swept my GOTY awards, so MGS 3: Subsistence will be absent from this years GOTY awards. (Otherwise it would sweep this year too.) But i would like to say that MGS 3: Subsistence is an phenominial game and anyone who hasen't played it should check it out. Anyways here we go!
