9.5: Superb

"We absolutely recommend any game in this range, especially to fans of that particular genre. However, games that score in the 9 range are also typically well suited to new players. Games that earn 9s are naturally uncommon, and earn GameSpot's Editors' Choice Award for their outstanding quality."

Out of:

Which is the most deserving of the 9.5 score, in your opinion?

The score is extremely difficult to get on Gamespot and many feel that certain games deserved that score but just missed out. Out of the 3 recent 9.5/10s, which do you feel is the most deserving of the excellent score? ie. Which is the best of the best?

What do you guys think?

Can't believe I'm doing this...but SMG. The game is insanely fun. I do believe Crysis deserved it's score as well, but SMG the most.

EDIT: Just want to say that I haven't been this impressed with a Mario game in a looooong time.

Mario Galaxy IMO for rejuvenating the platforming genre.

2nd most deserving would probably have to be Crisis for breaking the graphics barrier.

Tough. Halo 3 I believe should be a 9.0. It's a fantastic game, but does nothing new with the series, except Forge mode.

Crysis is a technical marvel, but as a game you should buy, you might have you overhaul your PC. I guess that should bring it down to a 9.0, due to the money you have to spend on it.

But really, that's not a good reason. But it's something, so I guess that leaves Mario Galaxy.

Mass Effect because...oh wait. I just read the review without looking at the score. Silly incongruent numbers. Oh well. Probably Crysis just because of how much it pushes the envelope in general.

Crysis with SMG at a close 2nd. Both games are awesome, advancements of their genres, and put meaning in the words "next-gen". Simply put, these were the types of games we wanted 2 years ago when next-gen was a huge area of discussion. While Halo 3 was highly anticipated, it can best be described as "been there, done that" for many gamers.

Crysis and SMG deserved it (I think Halo 3 deserved a 9.0 or possibly an 8.5 based on previous GS reviews). I guess I would say SMG deserved it more. So far, there hasn't been a single review that has called SMG anything less than fantastic. No game has battled with Ocarina of Time for the top spot this long.

SMG.

Sunshine all but killed my love for the franchise, and Galaxy brought my love back in full force. Wonderful game no matter how good the others are.

Crysis the only one there that deserved it. The other two dont since other game have scored less and are much better games than the both of them.

The only one of those I've played is Halo 3 so I can't really comment, I'm sure all 3 deserve the score they got though.

Crysis.

Halo 3 to me seemed like Halo 2 with a fresh coat of paint, and that's what Halo 2 was to Halo 1 only it added online.

Super Mario Galaxy deserved a 10.

Crysis was easily one of the best experiences I've had with a game in a long, long time, which is saying a lot considering I'm completely sick of FPSs. I haven't felt that way about an FPS since probably the original Half-Life.

I haven't played the other 2, so I gotta say Halo 3 then. Halo 3 is an amazing game with forge, video replays (best feature ever, imo) and 4 player online co-op. Halo 3 gameplay wasn't different from Halo 2, but redeemed itself with all the content in the game.

That wouldn't be fair for me to say, as I haven't played Crysis. However, between Halo 3 and Galaxy, I have to go for the latter. The designers made some fantastic levels, and sorry for potential spoilers, but the Toy Time Galaxy (which housed an incredibly frustrating Purple Coin task) was likely my favorite.

Even though I haven't played it, SMG cause it's not some generic overated FPS.
