Agreed. And have you seen the new "There's a soldier in everyone" trailer? You gotta admit, Activision has the best marketing of anyone. Reach had hardly any TV spots on major networks and I am yet to see a Fallout commercial. Marketing plays a role in the GotY decision, because, the more people that love the game the better. Many people say that Fallout and Halo don't need advertising, which I laugh at. Would nearly as many people bought Halo 2: ODST if they didn't see the epic trailer? I'm guessing not. Fallout is a game that is a cult-classic, really, and I've never been a fan. Maybe if they out some of the new features in a trailer that is publicized, and most importantly, worth watching, more might buy it. In my opinion, many base their opinions on a game BEFORE they buy it because they don't want to waste money on a game that they've "heard" isn't so good. Same reason I never bought many games until recently, and thought "Hey, this ain't too shabby..."
