Unlike the cutting edge of visual art or film or dance, being a technology-driven art form, what is fresh and head-turning about video games often correlates with what's hot. Bold ideas tend to be better rewarded than bold marketing. For instance, about this time a year ago, last holiday season, if you play video games, sell video games, stand in line to buy hot video games for ungrateful children, watch your husband play video games like it's his second job, or just find yourself thinking about where video games are taking us, the die seemed cast, the players set.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With the Switch getting on in years and the prospect of a new Nintendo console growing closer, now seems like an excellent time to take a look back at one of its mascot’s two big evolutionary lines, particularly since we now find ourselves in the longest wait ever between 3D Mario games. Today marks the seven year anniversary for the release of Super Mario Odyssey, and with no full new entry in sight, it comfortably beats the roughly six year wait between Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, which should also be good news to anybody who broke a mirror that day.
3D Mario has delighted fans since 1996, maintaining an astonishing level of quality and bringing innovations not just to the 3D platformer genre, but gaming as a whole. Needless to say, it’s a hard task to rank a series where every entry is beloved, but I shall nevertheless undertake this risky venture with my head held high. Wish me luck."
One of the worst marios.. i hated the fact it was only about finding the moons and very repetitive with the same bosses. There is no exploration in this one.
Galaxy 2 is still unmatched
I played, completed, and enjoyed Mario Odyssey, but I tend to agree that I don't think it's the best 3D Mario. There was sense of sameness that prevailed after the first couple of worlds... not in the levels, environments, or aesthetics, but in the routine of each world. It just felt like each new environment was just the beginning of another checklist of moons to acquire, and the sheer number of them took away the sense of accomplishment I got from the stars in Mario 64 and the like. I can't exactly put my finger on why that is. Galaxy gets my nod as the best one.
I enjoyed it too but i won’t even place it in my top10 mario games.. as you said you are just looking for stars and that irritating music everytime you find one.
Also the bosses are pretty much the same from begging to end. I would have have like some koopalings instead of these dumb useless rabbits
I played a little of this game and freakin' LOVED it! But I forced myself to stop because I hadn't played Galaxy 2, which I've been playing every day for the past week. Cripes, Galaxy 2 is way better than I expected it to be! Even though I dislike the Wiimote and nunchuck controls, and it annoyed me a lot with Galaxy 1, part 2 just feels better and slightly less gimmicky when it comes to the controls.
Sunshine at number 7 no way. I get it's not perfect but it deserves better to date there has not been another 3d Mario that's managed to capture that same movement it's the most acrobatic feeling Mario to date.
It's by and large better than 3d land/world and I'd argue that galaxy 2 didn't offer any trie innovation it was essentially a DLC pack to 1
Personally it's
1) Mario 64
2) Mario Sunshine
3) Mario galaxy
4) Mario Odyssey
5) galaxy 2
6) Bowser fury
7) 3d land/ world.

Console Creatures writes, "The BioShock film at Netflix is still happening but with a reduced budget."
Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.
It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.
i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.
but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story
Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.
its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix
I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
The local paper is called "Toledo Blade", from Toledo, Ohio.
There's no panel, or voting, or judges, or jury that make up this list.
I sorta knew when I tipsed this, the contributor - if he's a Sony fanboy - would want to misinterpret this as some sort of big, important list in his headline to mislead people.
@MK_Red: Yeah, you corrected the title. Ya, I know your preference is the PS3 over the 360 and Wii, but you're not a totally fanatical case most other PS3 fanboys in here.
Needless to say, I disagree with this list. For Scene It? and Lego Star Wars to even make the list, (and Lego Star Wars isn't exactly a 2007 game,) it just pretty undermines the whole list.
But I'm sure PS3 fanboys will LOVE and heat up this list.
My personal list would be:
1.BioShock
2.Assassin's Creed
3.Mass Effect
4.God of War 2
5.Super Mario Galaxy
I haven't played UT3 on PS3 and from the look of it, UT3 could have a high place in may list, considering the fact that I'm a UT fanatic.
<center>Personaly, i dont think Ratchet and Clank should be on the top.
Not that i think its a bad game, but because there are certainly alot of games already out which are better.
Personaly, i prefer:
1.COD4 360
2.Warhawk
3.Bioshock
4. Even Assasins Creed (i feel) is alot better then Ratchet.
I think this is one of the hyped games which is in "simple terms" rather sh1t.
Alot like Halo.
The game sells it itself on previous all which have been worse then first (Alot like Halo).
Quite frankly i dont think it should be on the list.
But ofcourse, this is my opinion so dont get all annoyed if your a die hard ratchet fan, im allowed to dislike the game if i want.
Where is uncharted in your lists ?
uncharted will be game of the year
gameplay,animation,gfx,storyl ine and characters all are superb in there fields
so 10 out of 10
