Both games were verygood and fun to play but best of anything they are not.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Halo 3 ODST

Great games. Glad that they are largely being ignored for awards and nominations though.

thats because neither is really that great TBH. ODST was very mediocre so surprised it scored a 9, and Mario is getting old, real old.

Mediocre? Old? Hell no. They weren't GOTY worthy though.

Both games were verygood and fun to play but best of anything they are not.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Halo 3 ODST

Great games. Glad that they are largely being ignored for awards and nominations though.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii deserves alot more attention than it is getting. People saying otherwise just can't handle the old school goodness or just simply didn't play it.

I'm playing it co-op with my wife. Its fun. Just not mind blowing. At least not if you've played every other 2D mario platformer.

I'm amazed at how Flower and Brutal legend got snubbed by the editors for the actual awards. Flower lost to Comet Crash for Best Downloadable game and Brutal Legend lost to Ratchet for funniest game. WTF!?!? Tim Schafer lost to poor sexual innuendo and obvious Three-Stooges style gags. wow. And MW2 lost best competitive multi to Killzone 2? Ok I hate activision as much as the next guy but seriously multiplayer is what made MW and MW2.

I agree, they are both great fun games, but not everything has to be "OMG GOTY!!!" worthy.

Who actually places any value in website awards?

New Super Mario Bros. Wii deserves alot more attention than it is getting. People saying otherwise just can't handle the old school goodness or just simply didn't play it.

Or maybe they're tired of playing the exact same thing over and over again with little gimmicks :(

Anyway, I agree with OP. As fun as Halo and Mario are, neither of those two games have been mind-blowing or new like the previous installments have been.

Well, if I only had a Wii or 360 I'd want to downplay on awards too.

Awards just as big / important as review scores.
