Game of the Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy has been named IGN's Game of the Year.

It defeated finalists Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, The Orange Box and Mass Effect.



Take that HD sucka fools! Bwa-ha-ha!

Seriously though. The gaming press and hardcore gamers seem to have quietly decided the Wii is not a 'next gen' system, owing to the PS3 and XBox360's superior graphics and innards.

In an environment like that, it's cool to know someone remembers that it's gameplay that's important.

On a similar note, Leen and I are using our Australia Day public holiday to play through Super Mario Brothers 3 - as downloaded from the excellent Wii Virtual Console. It seriously has to be one of the greatest games of all time. Frog Suit for the win!

Happy Invasion Day!
