Mass Effect is fantastic but it is simply too buggy to be worth it. And Saren isn't built up enough to be a character you like or hate. He's just kind of there. If Bioshock didn't come out this year, I'd give it to Mass Effect hands down, but that's just not the case. Mass Effect 2 will probably get it though and rightfully so.
I agree with a few people that Mario Galaxy was an underdog that maybe deserves it. What keeps me from supporting it is that the levels are so short. Each level I played I beat in 3-5 minutes. That's just not enough time for me to enjoy myself in a given level.
Props to Bioshock even if ive never played it.
PS Did Halo win anyting at all?
@1928,
God of War II was last year my man. Sorry, it's an amazing game though!
Dude, nobody cares about which console is better anymore. Yes, I think Call of Duty 4 should have won but there was a lot of features that they took out.
JFTR, The 360 version of the game kicks ass.
...Psh. Hypocrite.
P.S. I thought BioShock was too repetitive with the hacking, COD 4 was better than that.
Bioshock's only real downside is the lack of online multiplayer, an area where Halo 3 does well, but the award was for game of the year, not multi-player experience.
It's in my pile with E.T. from Atari
A FPS that made you think.
I hope other developers are taking notes...
I know that there are a lot of really cool games for the red ringer of death machine but puhleease, stop taking money from M$oft and write your own reviews based on real opinions not on how much they are paying you.
Now the devils advocate:
M$oft gives you a lot of money in advertising and such. I understand why you "like" the red ringer of death machine :)

What a great year for games!
if i'd never played either i'd rather play mario, having played mario i'd rather play mario but bioshock did look pretty cool and interesting.
Wii has the best action/adventure game and i suppose you could say the best baseball game.
part of the reasons award shows choose what they choose is because they feel the game or movie deserves a wider audience.
i'm glad rock band won.
i was glad to see zack and wiki get a nomination.
halo 3 took no chances, nobody is going to mess with the formula of a game guaranteed to make that much money and that's the reason it deserves no awards.
Bioshock was amazing.
I love CoD4 and Halo3 but the MP on CoD4 is so much better then Halo3's.
This was an amazing year for gaming ^^
