As you know, Super Mario Galaxy has now overtaken OOT as the greatest game of all time on Gamerankings, making it the best game of the generation (so far).

But what is your favourite game of the generation thus far?

Is it SMG?

Crysis?

Halo 3?

Something else completely?

What do you guys think?

The only game out of the pictures I haven't played is Crysis, but for me Mario Galaxy destroys all of those. And I loved Bioshock too.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess or Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. I haven't completed the latter yet, but I've enjoyed every moment of it. It's a lot harder than Path of Radiance, but that's why I like it so much. I haven't played Super Mario Galaxy yet, and that can easily take the spot.

From what I've played, I'd have to go with Metroid Prime 3. (Note that I haven't played a whole lot of it). Team Fortress 2 is up there as well.

However, I'm most impressed with Super Mario Galaxy and just how highly praised the game is. It's clearly a gorgeous game by any standards, and that says a lot.

Mario Galaxy, barely squeaking out a win over Twilight Princess. Either way, Nintendo first party is just owning this generation.

Hands down SMG. IMO, there are too many FPS games to make them unique. SMG is a platformer that excels where so many platformers have failed since the era of the N64/PS1.

WOW.

Might want to put some spoilers on that or something... :P

But yeah, the ending was surprising satisfying. I absolutely loved the fire galaxy close to the end (Melty Molton Galaxy... I think). That was probably my favorite galaxy.

So much variety and so many amazing ideas at work in one game. The music is also phenominal. BOWSER FIGHTS OMG! That music is the definition of epic.

No, because using GR is ridiculous. There is no one standard.

So combining 30+ professional opinions isn't a standard?

Most definitely not, because they don't rate games the same way. Plus not every game will have the same amount of reviews; making a different standard for each individual game.

The Halo one definitely isn't, but I'm not sure about the rest as I've yet to play any of them. I'm pretty sure they're in-game though (except for the Halo pic).

Crysis will be GOTY this year. Crysis is the best game this year because it is technically revolutionary (Graphics, Physics and sound), the story is darn tight and epic for an FPS and best of all is the MP, it's just different from everything else, in a good way(play it you will understand why).

my current top 5 is

1-Halo 3
2-Mario Galaxy
3-Bioshock
4-Metroid PRime 3
5-Call of Duty 4

ANd im playing Crysis tomorrow so it might get a bit of a shake up. But for now Halo 3 is built to last a long time with Galaxy at a close second.
