Super Mario Galaxy

I just got Super Mario Galaxy and have been playing it this morning.

Oh my god this is an awesome game and just goes to show that game developers need to focus on game play over graphics. While SMG does have a distinct Mario cartoon look to it, the game play is revolutionary.

What is new you ask? Running around the inside and outside of spheres and the use of shifting gravity. Playing the game takes more than just my polished platform skills and forces me to think about what I am doing instead of just reacting like I have been through the last several games I have played.

I haven't played anything new like this in a long long time.
