I don't think the little plusses about a game determine which is better....

Mario Galaxy also has 5 bits listed under "The Good" along with 2 under "The Bad"

Compared to Halo 3's 4 under "The Good" and 3 under "The Bad"

:P

Mario Galaxy for GOTY!!

It'd be really cool if SMG won GOTY. I know I've been predicting Halo 3 to win GOTY here, but I have a soft spot for Mario platformers.

SMG looks absolutely stunning and Wii owners are very lucky. Time to steal a Wii, so hopefully more people I know buy it.

SMG is more deserving of GOTY as far as I'm concerned.

Galaxy for GOTY! :P

don't even bother. GS reveiws are pointless for ranking games. 9.5 =/= 9.5 and sometimes 9.0 = 9.5... who even cares.

Who's to judge which merits hold more.... merit?

Anyways, you can't compare the two games.

Review wise, SMG wins. No doubt. The review is right there. It's clear. Fact. Whether you agree or not is different. The review says that SMG is better. But you know Gamespot. They'll pull a fast one.

"Halo 3 game of the year!!" -Gamespot

"But you yourselves gave SMG a better score..." -The masses

We can all agree on this... 11 > 8.

It might not mean much when it comes to GOTY or whether SMG or Halo 3 is better... but the sheep win the merit battle, right?

It doesnt have better graphics, online, multiplayer, and overrall longivity of Halo 3.

Take standards into account next time.

I'll take fun into account.

Something I hold to equal standards from the Wii and 360.

Could you point out the part where he said Super Mario Galaxy is better than Halo 3?

All the halo games are overrated. I am not a fan of the 3d mario games but since mario galaxy looks so good, I might buy myself the game.

They scored the same and Wii's standards are lower than the 360's...

Not only that, they're two completely different genres. I think you're grasping at straws...w/e though. If it helps you sleep better then, Yay for merits!!! :|

Haven't played SMG (and I probably won't for a long time). But I honestly don't think Halo 3 deserved that score... I liked the game but I'm not that much of a Live player and the single player was short. Not to mention the graphics were good in some areas and flat out terrible in others.. I honestly question what the hell Bungie was doing with this game during all that development time..

How can you compare a FPS with a platformer? It doesn't make sesne just like this thread.
