The closing comments on Mass Effect basically said everything I did a few posts back in different wording.

But back to your original problem just because Super Mario Galaxy is the best reviewed game (so far, I'm pretty sure it will drop eventually) and it only counts the last ten years or so doesn't mean it is the best game of all time or greatest game of all time.

Ok.

It makes it the most critically acclaimed game of all time.

That's fine.

I think your problem with this game (other than this game) is that it does not have the values many have recently come to associate with popular games. However, it seems to be a more recent trend and in all honesty, I do not see the problem with simplistic game making.

Right... movies started out in silence and in black and white. Now they're in full color and there's sound. You'd consider that a good thing... correct?
The videogame industry is very new, very young. Storytelling, intricate character development, voice acting, etc. are just starting to become within reach. Once developers are able to harness those features that make movies such an enthralling entertainment experience and mix that with the interactivity that videogames offfer - it's going to create the pinnacle of gaming.
Will there always be a place for basic platformers? Sure, just like there will always be a place for slap-stick movies. I'm looking at the grand scheme of things here.
