[Question] The Gamingforce Game of the Year 2010: Vote a Go Go

There is a hole in the rules with which I don't know what to do. It is only passingly mentioned that the points for the games should add up to 100. Well, for me, this doesn't realistically happen, because of the arbitrary, pointless 40 points maximum. (You could do better with a minimum number of games one can have in the list. Or create any set of rules that apply with different cases.) Anyway, fail rules.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - 40 points

I've been playing this for several months now, whenever I have time to visit my parents (where the Wii is). It was a seriously fun game to finish first, and then start collecting all the extra stuff. It's quite a different game than the first Galaxy, much more polished and I dare to say perfected. As a difference to the first game, all the levels are designed very well. Also, the collectible stars differ fundamentally more than the sometimes boring 90 different purple coin levels in the first Galaxy. This whole text is about comparing the second game to the first, and that's the whole point. It's just everything of the same, done just right. The difficulty level rises quite fast in the game, and it's from the start a bit more challenging to think and learn the quirks of the control mechanism. This was not necessary in the story line game in the first Galaxy.

The only negative thing that I can think of is that the game is not really difficult at all. The only thing making more challenging levels infuriating is the sloppy controls. I can imagine being just perfect in the game if it had the controls of Spyro, or whatever other 3d platformer. Nintendo dropped the ball already on 64 where Mario was a horror to control, and things haven't progressed much over the years. I've just generally learnt how to deal with it.

VVVVVV - 40 points

I just quickly played through the game since it was all chat was talking about one day. What an amazing little game. Reminds me of the similar old PC classics like Joe (Joe was too difficult to finish, though). Awesome music, easy enough and simply fun. I'll get to the extras soon.

Use them well!

I've still got 20 more points, but not really anything to use them for, since I didn't do much playing of new games this year. I could give 20 hypothetical points to the new Assassin's Creed, since based on the first game, I'd seriously like that one too, but that's not possible.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah, that clears it, thanks. You should put the important rules with a little bigger font.

How ya doing, buddy?
