I'm with Ryan. Part of what made Monkey Island work was the balance and cohabitation of serious and absurd elements. Making Guybrush look so cartoony eliminates an ineffable yet crucial element of his overall persona that makes the silliness of his dialogue and surroundings more than just sugar coated sugar. The same happened with the Frank Drebin character between "Police Squad" and the "Naked Gun" movies. When Drebin was the straight guy to the madness, the madness was actually funny.

Oh.... and kudos for having the honesty to admit your faults and own up, but now you're either committed to maintaining your honesty and journalistic integrity, or forfeiting your rightful ownership of the above. Best of luck.

I'm late to the thread and so I doubt anyone will read this, but I'll say I sympathise with your worries and doubts that led you to vote Fallout 3 as Game of the Year, but congratulations.... you've joined the rabble of commodity critics that help mediocre games like this made, and studios like Bethesda to stay their course without learning their lessons, and the industry as a whole to aspire to no higher than this dismal model.
