Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.

Eye of Judgment. Simply wicked. Chess gone mad. And sadly, not even nominated : )
Did Unreal Tournament just get overlooked or is it just average FPS? There is no way Halo 3 is a better multiplayer game then COD4.
almost every aspect of cod4 is better than halo 3, except for sales and campaign length. and where is uncharted on these lists, i know it isnt selling great, but i would have it for action adventure. i love how time magazine gave halo 3 game of the year, they obviously went by hype (not that halo 3 is bad, it is just worse than many other games)
Crappy list. Super Mario Galaxy bet Orange Box? Orange Box not even up for best shooter? They think Halo 3 is actually good?
Nice to see Rock Band made it onto the list though, definitely my game of the year.
