  My heart goes out to the Gamespot staff

  It really and truly does. It's such a horrific situation to be in..

  Here's hoping that the massive outcry knocks some **** sense into a few suited skulls.

  57 stars in...

  ...and I'm just not feeling it.

  After all the 10/10s and glowing reviews, Super Mario Galaxy is a massive disappointment. It's not a bad game by any means but it's not dropping my jaw the way it apparently should. And I think it's down to the controls. The wii-remote nunchuk combo just doesn't give me enough control over Mario or the camera, and it's turned some sections into a frustrating slog. Add in the total over animation when Mario gets hit or moves against a wall and you've got a game that's made me mutter "for **** sake" and "just jump you **** !" far more than any in recent memory.

  The more I think about it, the more I realise that I've never loved any of Mario's 3D adventures. Take him back to 2D Ninty, that's where he belongs.

  Team Fortress 2 has ruined the shooter genre

  By being too damn good.

  Seriously.

  I have no idea how I'm going to be able to play UT3 or the next Battlefield game. Everything about TF2's design is basically perfect. Light enough for folk to ease into, useful and rewarding support classes for the non-twitchers, amazing art work... I love this game. I've had a huge smile on my face since I got the 'Master of Disguise' achievement by tricking an enemy medic into healing my spy.

  Congratulations Valve. You have broken the shooter genre. You magnificent bastards.
