Remember the days when Nintendo would launch a system with a Mario game? I do. I’ve never gotten used to not playing a Mario game on the first day I play a new console. It didn’t feel right with the Gamecube and it still doesn’t feel right with the Wii. But thats me.
I understand the reason behind Nintendo’s new way of thinking however. A console has to show on day one that its not a system made for your little brother. I get that and it makes sense. Its just weird is all.
I will say that the wait was worth it. The final game is polished and a blast to play. Being a big fan of Super Mario 64 I expected a lot from this game and it delivered.
We ran a poll last week to try and find out what you thought would be the 2007 Game of the Year. A lot of you weighed in, and here’s how it came out. We’ll present the top 5 games here:
Call of Duty 4 (19%)
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (17%)
Halo 3 (11%)
Super Mario Galaxy (11%)
BioShock (10%)
Thanks to everyone who voted! There were a ton of great games this year, so making the elusive Game of the Year choice is tough. You can expect to see our picks this week.
Time Magazine might be the most recognizable magazine in our country and maybe the world. They have covered some of the most turbulent times in history and now has taken a stab at video games. Jesus tapdancing Christ. Here is the list. I will save you the annoyance of clicking through.
Halo 3
Half Life 2: The Orange Box
Rock Band
Super Mario Galaxy
Bioshock
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass
Mass Effect
Ace Combat 6
God of War 2
What the fuck? I understand that PS2 is last gen, but you better have a huge set of balls to rate God of War 2 lower than Ace Combat 6. Somehow the DS version of Zelda beat out the wii version? Metroid was not even mentioned. Bioshock rated lower than Rock Band? Rock Band is fun but you cannot even begin to compare to the two. Halo 3 sold hundreds of millions of copies but that does not make it the game of the year, ironically, winning no major awards at the VGA’s. Half Life 2, hey, great port, but number 2? Also notice, not one PS3 exclusive title made it. A chimpanzee could have picked these games out of his ass in a better order.
I know most of you can’t wait for this release, I also know most of you know whats going on with this game so far. Maybe I’m too excited, maybe not. But in any case I think everyone should see this clip. So here is this clip. That is all.
