Super Mario Galaxy: Greatest Game of All Time?
I bought it. Holy Crap. This is it. The killer app for Wii. It's the most amazing game this generation, maybe of all time. I've played the Halo, the Gears of War, and the Zeldas. They're not as fun. PERIOD. This game was (for a short amount of time) the highest rated game of ALL TIME according to Metacritic. Then a bunch of second rate websites (with about as much credibility as your old uncle Phil who's always borrowing money and then blowing it all on a lawnmower even though he doesn't even have a lawn because he lives in a hotel that smells like moldy cheese and cheap liquor) got their reviews in and the overall rating of Galaxy fell by one point. Anywho that doesn't matter. This is still the greatest game i've ever played. The controls work amazingly, the graphics are the best on Wii, the level variety is unmatched and the whole thing runs in 60 frames-per-second. MADDEN for PS3 only runs in 30, mind you. I'd actually feel sorry for the developers of this game. You know the coders are sitting there eating some tacos or whatever and then the level designers come in for the 12th time that day and hands em' the doc and the coders are like "AAAAAAAAAW GEEEEEEEZ!" I gotta put a streaming tube of water constantly flowing between TWO blacks holes in there!? And three totally new items just in this ONE level?! SWEET MOTHER OF MOSES!"
Seriously though. If they tried to put evey item, suit, powerup and move in this game into the instruction manual that thing would be thicker than a stack of over-rated Ben Stiller movies. Just buy the game. It's amazing. It's like cake with pie in it. Totally amazing.
