Right now Super Mario Galaxy is dominating the awards, which shouldn’t come to much surprise seeing that it was the most critically reviewed game of this year. Nintendo had the overall GOTY and critically acclaimed game of 2006, why not again.

I have no idea why Bioshock is gettin so many awards.

Neither do I.

Well, I own Super Mario galaxy, but I have yet to actually take the plastic off the case. As well as actually opening the Wii.

Yea cause your at your friends house is what your message said.

But you’ll enjoy SMG, unless of course you didn’t like SM64.

It’s jsut a blast to play. The level design and gameplay ideals are all so creative and fun, that its simply incredible. Pure fun.

Oh and btw my GOTY award goes to Portal for being such an original creative game with an awesome ending.

Nice I’m sure I’d enjoy Portal, but don’t have the money to get the Orange Box.

Neither did I. I just used the free rental of themonth at Blockbuster to rent it. I beat it in about 5 hours, but I played it over and over because it was so awesome!

I enjoyed Halo 3 more, but that’s just because I’m a Halo fanboy. I know Portal was just great.

Yea well I’m tired of people on this god forsakken forum being such fucking hypocrites. Always saying how great Halo is, but now they don’t play it. I don’t want to hear another person on this forum, other than you, I, and SA-X, say anything good or really loving about Halo 3, cause they don’t mean it. None of them play it, nor do any of them seem to like it. yet around and after launch all they could fucking talk about. Bashed me for telling them how bad the campaign was. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.

Just had to say that real quick it. Forward it to anyone ya want.

Nerevar117 did, but he had problems with Xbox live so he hasn’t been on for a while.

Everyone is having issues with Xlive. Still don’t know how to get my sig to stop saying privacy settings enabled, even though they aren’t.

I actually have had 0 problems with Xbox live. I have a really good connection sometimes, but when it crashes all I have to do is disconnect everything and reconnect it. Everything then works flawlessly.

Yea well I’m not liking the Xlive on 360 so far. I mean on Xbox it was all so simple and easy to use. While with Xlive on the 360, I feel like I need a 1000 page manual to know how to use it.

poor halo 3...

Galaxy deserves this award, its my personal favorite game of all time, and believe me it took some doing to knock Ocarina of Time off its top spot.

Good thread...

I dont get why IGN doesn’t have an overall best game.

They are waiting till later this month to post their overall Game of the Year.

Oh and... when is gamespot gona review Tenkaichi 3?
