Castle Wolfenstein GotY Edition

Activision sends along the first four, high-res screenshots of the Game of the Year edition for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, the first-person shooter by Gray Matter and Nerve Software. The images show off four of the new multiplayer maps that will be included, two of which are reworkings of single-player maps in the full game. To our knowledge this edition had not yet been officially announced, so we asked Activision for more information, and while a press release is currently not available, they provided this succinct description, which also includes word on a downloadable map pack for owners of the original game:

The GotY edition will contain 7 new multiplayer maps not on the original retail CD -- Trenchtoast, Tram Siege, Ice, Chateau, Keep, The Damned, and Rocket. Chateau, Keep, The Damned, and Rocket are brand new maps not released yet, but those will be available in a GotY Map Pack we'll be releasing this week. The GotY edition will also contain a few extra goodies like concept art, wallpapers and more.

I don't remember there being any set number of GOTY awards that a game has to get in order to have a Game of the Year edition.
Obviously because you made it up.

I'd have to say that, as it won PROMINENT GOTY awards, it qualifies as one of the "Games of the Year".

All a "Game of the Year" tag is, is just that. A tag. It says: "Hey! We won one or more Game of the Year awards! Buy this game!" as opposed to "platinum edition" which doesn't even make any sense. It's not made of platinum.

I've never quite understood why people have an obsession with what is on a box, especially when they don't even plan on buying the box.
