It's really a tie for me. Well actually I've only gotten like 30-ish stars so far in Galaxy, so I'm not sure how fun the overall game is.

Rocky Road is a fun stage though.  powerofone;

lol I just did that last night.

It was literally the first thing I did in 2008, cause I turned the game on after the ball dropped.

I think it took like 5 tries.

When did I mention either game?
The best game of the year would probably be Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4, or the Orange Box.
The only thing on that list that is good is Orange Box. Mass Effect was a steaming pile of shit with garbage shooting controls, Call of Duty 4 was good but not worthy of GOTY, and the Orange Box is better on the PC.

I just raped your asshole and now you are trying to cover it up :|

Also there is more to Galaxy then just jumping. Play the game and you'll find out. :|

My ass it's not worthy of the year. It not only revived a whole genre by itself, but it perfected so many things in that genre. What the hell did Call of Duty 4 do that was so amazing for the shooter genre? Nothing that I noticed.

Well lets see shall we:

It perfected level design
It perfected the way gravity works
It perfected the way platforming in general should work
It perfected spherical worlds
It perfected the difficulty curve in the later levels
It perfected a genre

It's realistic, it uses real weapons and the voices are great is like saying that every single WWII shooter is great.

Sounds like Ratchet and Clank to me except Ratchet andClank is better. Call of Duty 4: MODERN WARFARE and it looked beautiful and online is great with perks and all the features.
Super Mario GALAXY

Online is basically a staple for all 360 games, and the game did look great, but if that's the best thing you can ride on, then Crysis would have fucking won game of the year.

Ratchet and Clank got like what... a 7.5 from Gamespot?

It hardly worked gravity other than jumping, the level design was sub-par, and you are running out of things to say. Ratchet and Clank or Call of Duty 4? Pick one retard.

Portal is the game worthy of GotY. Not a sequel, inventive gameplay, genre blending (FPS and puzzle), great writing, AND it manages to create a captivating and memorable experience without relying on nostalgia or falling into the crowded "shoot em up" category.

Holy fucking christ. No wonder you were banned. You said Super Mario Galaxy revived platforming and listed the things that were good about it, so I mentioned that Ratchet and Clank had all of that plus gorgeous graphics. And why did you outline Galaxy? I outlined Modern Warfare because you said it was another WWii game.
Weren't you the one who tried to impersonate me faggot?

I outlined Galaxy because I felt like it :|

Ratchet and Clank did not do anything that Galaxy did other than sharing the same genre. I don't know what kind of drugs you are on when you think Ratchet and Clank is even in the same league as Mario Galaxy.

I do admit it was short, really it's only downfall. I don't mind too much, that was the best 2 hours I've had this entire year (in terms of gaming).

Also, lol @ SMG "revitalizing" the genre. Platforming is still condemned to cheap movie/television show tie ins and bargain bin games with the occasional diamond in the rough. I do think that comparing it to Ratchet and Clank is stupid though, SMG is soooooo much better and memorable.

Exactly, it's a dying genre. Millions of platforming games won't spring up because of SMG.

Also, I feel I should mention Crackdown. It's definitely not GotY material, but it was a solid 8/10 game and was great fun when it lasted.

I really didn't think Mario Galaxy was GOTY material... for Wii, sure, but otherwise no. It never really captured my interest. Uncharted was the best game on a console imo, and Bioshock seemed better than Galaxy as well.

It's still fun, I just wouldn't put it above other some other releases this year

I don't really consider Bioshock an FPS since I mostly went for hand to hand combat and used my plasmids, and because it focuses mostly on exploration like Metroid Prime.
