2: Bioshock

Platform: Xbox 360/PC | Developer: 2K Games| My Score: 9.5

Its so hard to describe what made Bioshock one of the best games ever (yes ever!). Theres so many parts that comes together to create this experience. The actionelements, the horrorelements, the story of a city on the bottom of the ocean built by a man with deep political issues with the world, the story of a man whos plane crash on top of a lighthouse leading down into this ghost city where everyone still alive has gone mad on a drug called Adam. But first and foremost its the freedom that makes Bioshock. You play this game exacly how you want to. You can run and gun, you can stay back and use Plasmids, you can hurry on with the story or break into some abandoned stripclub and experience some sidestory of the stripperghost still in there. You can chose to upgrade your hacking skills to hack the securitysystems of the city or you could try to create your own anti-electronics ammo. You create weapons, you create ammo and you really create your own game experience. This legacy of "blast through the door, lockpick it, hack the security systems, find a nearby vent and crawl in e.t.c" originally came from the mastermind of this game and his friend Warren Spector. Bioshock is a new Deus Ex and a new System Shock in many ways but its free from any things that might have hindered the experience in those games. Then theres the Little Sisters and Big Daddies. 2 of the best gaming elements concerning moral choices ever in a videogame, then theres the artdirection...I need to stop here. Read my full review !

1: Super Mario Galaxy

Platform:Wii | Developer:Nintendo | My Score: 9.5

I just sound silly everytime I describe my love for SMG. The best platformer ever, one of the best games ever created, the best mariogame ever created. The list goes on. This is the pinnacle of the INSANE gamingyear that was 2007. In fact this is one of the most important games in the history of gaming. Nintendo takes Mario to platformpuzzles we never thought we would see. They experiment with gravity in so many ways your mind will be orgasming every second. You walk outside of spheres, inside of them, under stuff, over stuff, upside down, downside up, on giant robots, inside of 2D platforming levels inside of a 3D cylinder floating in space. And when you think you´ve got whats coming next they launch you off to something that completely blows your mind all over again. Every level inSMG feels like it could fuel an entire game but you only get a couple of minutes with it until they launch you off to the next "game". Then theres the Marionostalgia factor thats very high but not all all a must. Then theres one of the best soundtracks ever crafted, then theres the ending. Something that far to few has brought up about this game. The ending to SMG is so beautiful. This long epic cinematic of love, hope, galaxies, stars, worlds dead and worlds reborn, friendship and tradegy. Its quite insane actually seeing as this is "only" a Mariogame. On top of that its actually on the the best looking games to come out this year, all platforms included and its the best looking Wii game for sure. Anyway, I could of course go on and on forever about this game, theres to much good to be describing it all here. Read my full review of it !
