Well, it's not like SMG won't win GOTY on other sites either.

Definately a worthy title. I fully expect either Crysis or SMG to win GOTY here at GameSpot.

Though Yahoo is, well, Yahoo, I can't argue with their pick. Super Mario Galaxy is certainly deserving of the award.

It's refreshing to see a game that isn't a shooter win one of these awards. ;3

I think so too.

It's a very good game. I would have thought it wouldn't interest me but after playing it I think its worth the praise. It's very easy though.

Perhaps if Super Mario Galaxy starts winning more Game of the Year awards (including GameSpot) will the nonsense of the Halo 3, Call of Duty 3, GameSpot, etc. bashing will somehow stop on this forum.

I'm the biggest SMG fanboy on this forum but I'll admit it was easy. There were only 2-3 hard purple coin challenges and 2-3 hard challenges out of 120 isn't enough to make the game "hard." Perhaps I'm just way too good at Mario games :P

For being the biggest SMG fanboy you sure don't show it very well. I mean you need the avatar at the least.

Well for you and I and other Mario freaks it may not be hard, but your average fps fan or Madden lover and other regular and casual gamers it would be almost impossible for them to last more than 30 seconds on that level imo.

It nice to know that a everyday FPS with a good but very short single player and a bulky online multilayer didn't win it for once and an original game won it like SMG, also I would have been happy with Bioshock winning as well because at least it's original unlike Call of ____ _. Nothing against that mystery game, it's just that I dont think that a great everyday day FPS with strong Muiltplayer should win GOTY when some fantastic original game gets shafted.

your a smart person.

Its "you're", not "your", since its a contraction of "you are". That kind of typo looks silly when commending intelligence.

That said, as much as I love SMG, BioShock is still my personal GotY. Does my opinion diminish my intelligence? Are you going to say I am wrong?

You vastly underestimate what being a gamer means. You think that just because I love FPS games and that I like Madden, I cannot complete SMG? Take your condescension somewhere else.

Casual gamers might find it hard, but to people who enjoy FPS games and are "regular" gamers, as you put it, it should not be that much of a stretch, as most of us "regular" gamers grew up with platformers and action games, as FPS games are relatively new to the scene.

I agree. It's not a very hard game at all, but, it's still extremely enjoyable though. I've only got up to 80 stars though :( I stopped playing when I got my 360 a month ago and havn't got back to it yet. I'll probably play it again after I get through my christmas games.

The only two games deserving of GOTY this year are SMG and Bioshock. I think they made a decent choice. It'll be interesting to see what gamespot chooses.

For the record I wasn't trying to be "condescending" to the regular fps or Madden player. I'm just going by what I know and my personal experiences with friends I have. They play Madden and WW II shooters exclusively and when they see me play Mario platformers or Zelda games they tremble with fear and when they try to play them they get absolutely nowhere and don't have the skills or the patience requiredto do it.

I've been playing games my whole life so Mario and Zelda and other games are not hard for me, but everyone else I've ever met in the real world can't play those games because they are too hardcore for them, but those same people love playing Madden, Brothers In Arms, Medal of Honor, Halo and GTA.
