This is no news, but this has been one of the best years of gaming in history. Mass Effect, Halo 3, Bioshock, you name it. but it boiled down to two games for me. Super Mario Galaxy and Call of Duty 4.
Call of Duty 4-The first good modern warfare game was one hell of a good one. Infinity Ward realized that people were so sick of WWII games and they finally made Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The campaign is so short, and that made me really pissed off because it has seemed that 6 hour games are ok now. Halo 3 did it and people didn't care because of the fact that it was halo and the multiplayer was exceptional. Call of Duty 4's campaign was critisized more for no reason at all because people weren't expecting as much as they were with halo. but the multiplayer is so much better and the campaign is so much better. the story is really touching and powerful that halo lacked because it wasn't realistic. the multiplayer while it does not have as much maps or modes but the perks and the weapons and the kind of sense of an RPG game was really amazing. best 360 game of the year but surprisingly, not my game of the year.
Super Mario Galaxy-Game of the Year. Gametrailers picked it, Gamespot picked it, and i am picking it. i recently looked at the 360 forums and i was shocked. there was a thread of do you agree with the game of the year. they kept on bashing this game when probably the majority of them 3/4 or more have not even played the game. this game innovates the wii. there have only been a handful of good games on the wii which is really disapointing because developers think that they have to include the motion capabilities to its fullest which leads to clunky gameplay which mostly breaks the game. Super Mario Galaxy reinvents the wii, the platforming genre, wii controls and gameplay, and a whole lot more. without this game, the wii would of crashed and burned in the gaming industry (not with the casuals cuz their idiots). It was also a whole lot of fun to play. the level design was absolutely stunning, the graphics compared to some 360 games and it was by far the best looking game on the wii, it was a long game, the music is classic, as alex navarro said "you could put bubsy in this game and it still would have been great". absolutely game of the year. by far
