I like theese kind of different ideas. Just many of the games on the list are not for me, but I still like the list. 

I think differently. Like, I think Half-Life was "Game of the Year" for 1998, and Half-Life 2 for 2004. Fallout goes for 1997 and Planescape Torment goes for 1999. Actually I can hardly choose "GOTY" because many games can be good and have problems/things I'll dislike in it. Really, it's not something easy. You play three games and like all of them, but they are from different genres and there are things you dislike.

So:

1997-Fallout 

1998-Half-Life

1999-Planescape Torment

2004-Half-Life 2
