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
I can agree with Uncharted for PS3.
Surprised that COD4 is best for XB360. It does not even make my personal top 5 list.
(EoJ, Uncharted, Warhawk, R&C and Singstar.)
COD4 is a great game - but I think R:FOM and Warhawk is better.
Anyway.... thanks to all the development houses, developers who toiled tirelessly and the publishing houses who took the risks of making these titles available to us. I (and my family) have had a lot of fun with our PS3 this year so far. Have a good rest - and bring me some more titles. Port some of the good XB360 titles as well - I really don't care if I play a game two years after XB360 owners played it. When I get my hands on it, it will still be a new game to me, and if the content is good, I will still enjoy it. Again - thanks for your hard work to entertain us.
The playstation games are just right. I would have thought Mass Effect or Bioshock would have won it for the 360 (and surprised the overhyped Halo 3 didn't take that spot, thank god!)
PC should had been Crysis.
Mass effect has too much issues to be GOTY.
Bioshock is good but then again multiplat.
I'm not sure if i buy logan's shadow...guess i will
Master Chief is the best character? I havent even played mass effect and I can guess those characters have more depth then MC in the first 15 minutes of the game!
Get pissy fanboys but its hard to belive they put alot of thought into that one, you shouldnt have to read books to get an inside perspective of a character.
though COD4 should not have taken GOTY for 360, it has plenty of games that deserve that, COD4 should just take GOTY or multiplat GOTY for being so good on every platform.
Bioshock will be the game of the year overall, mark my words.
