Look for a full review sometime next week, complete with a breakdown on how well the controls function, the complexity of the dungeons, and whether the bosses are giant pushovers or worthy foes. I can tell you that I am thoroughly enjoying my time with the game. Now proceed to dissect my words to parse out exactly what score I will give and hope time flies by until you can get your own hands on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Tom

Delayed review? Smells like an incoming Quadruple-A bomb.

If anyone would recall, Kevin talked about how "10's are decided by the whole staff" when Galaxy 2 got its 10. So this could indicate that everyone is getting polled as to their thoughts.

I'm almost thinking of holding off on Revelations and opting for SS instead. GF-be-damned. Even though I don't have money for either, and should be content with Batman till at least Christmas... I have a hard time not feeling like a GOTG is upon us and I should be there first day.foxhound_fox

I say Zelda! :o

But I've never been a fan of RE, so take my word with a grain or two of salt.

Oh, really? i didn't know that, i always wondered myself how the staff reacted when a 10 came out.

The reason why there isn't a review is because Tom is only at the beggining of the 6th dungeon. He said he got lost within the games sidquests and he's 37 hours in. He'll probably do the New Game + option too, after beating the game. I'd guess around Tuesday will be the review, if he plays SS casually during the weekend (if he can).

Terraria is not innovative. (actually, it's main criticism is that it's a rip off of Minecraft)

Portal 2 is not innovative either, although really good.

hey i say change the title to "Generations= GOTY" that will get hits

[QUOTE="ActionRemix"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] I'm really beginning to think that you don't know what the word "innovative" means. Please, name all of the "innovative," "boundary pushing" games released this year.

I'm afraid we have all made a huge mistake. Zelda, Skyrim, Uncharted, you name it, it's not better than Rayman. Rayman Origins is the best game this year. That demo was so awesome :cry:

Those are fighting words.

No, but really, Terraria was not worth the $2.50 I paid for it on Steam.

Tis ok, it's fine that you have no taste in games.

It involves having fun.

I wonder what makes people choose either Minecraft or Terraria over one or another, despite they being identical. Is it that one is in 2D and the other in 3D? One is cheaper than the other? Although Terraria has a slightly more active battle system, the game feels a lot more limiting than Minecraft (probably because it's 2D, and it's crafting tools are not as...Minecraft-y).Willy105

It has boss fights!

You act as Creepers aren't the best new enemy of this generation.

And besides, new Minecraft updates are adding a lot to the combat.

The beta came out in 2010. :|

Also, a "Lego pixie thing" is more innovative, creative, and longer lasting than just a generic action adventure.

No offense to all the Nintendo fans but arent you guys tired of mario? there are like 3 mario games every single year :P, its like all i see is mario, zelda and pokemon. Call of Duty not as milked as mario, zelda and pokemon.

With that out of the way enjoy your zelda and dont focus too much on what a random dude gives it, just buy and play

I think a lot of Nintendo fans like myself, dont actually buy a lot of the spin off titles like you are refering to. I personaly only enjoy the main titles of the franchise. Games like Mario Galaxy or New Super Mario Bros. or Mario Land 3DS. Althouh Mario Golf and Mario Tennis were really fun games.

We can't be tired of Mario when we only get one or two Mario games a generation, and 5 years between console Zelda games.

There are like 4 or 5 games released with Mario in them, but they are not Mario games (the actual platformers).

Call of Duty as a game is much more milked than Mario, Zelda, or Pokemon; since you get a new one each year. We had to wait 5 years between Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword.

Maybe that will help you understand why a new Mario game is considered such a huge event, despite a game with Mario in it came out the week before.

This is incorrect, Minecraft is essentially a survival game. You are always surviving, and keeping your stuff from being destroyed.

There is a Creative Mode in Minecraft, where the game is simply a building block game, but that is like saying Call of Duty is a zombie survival game because it has a zombie survival mode in it.

Can't wait to see the score, hope it's either a 10 or and 8.5 (purely for SW purposes :))locopatho

Don't you mean a 8.8 for the latter part? :P

The last Zelda game (console) was released 5 years ago, that's why Skyward Sword is a big event, it's not like some FPS in your sig that's milked every single year

When is SS going to get reviewed? Is the dude trying to beat the game 100% or something before reviewing it?

well thats the difference between a Sony and a Nintendo game.Nintendo knows how to be creative and innovative and they dont have to rely on copying others games gameplay(Uncharted copied the gameplay and essence from Gears,Indiana jones and Tomb raider).There is probably a bigger difference between Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 then the difference between all the sequels of all the sony franchises added together(e.g. Littlbigplanet 2 + resistance 2+ killzone 2 + god of war 2 + uncharted 2 and gran turismo 5)

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a normal sequel, it is as much a sequel as any other sequel out there.

However, if you were talking about the difference between Mario 64 and Sunshine, or Majora's Mask to Wind Waker, or Galaxy 2 to 3D Land, then you'd be right.
