I for one noticed that despite my initial doubtful reaction to EG reviews and impressions, in the long run I tend to agree with them. Yes inFamous is a 7, MGS 4 an 8 and Bioshock an 11/10. So who knows, maybe this new Mario will be great.

Eurogamer are known for having, shall we say, a quirky stance on videogames. And one that is at odds with the other major gaming web sites.
Choosing yet another bloody Mario platformer as game of the show is a shocker. Repeat after me, Eurogamer: The wii is shite, and Mario is a racist Japanese caricature of an Italian male...

No, repeat after me:
Mario platformers are consistently hailed as being among the greatest games of all time Mario platformers are consistently hailed as being among the greatest games of all time Mario platformers are consistently hailed as being among the greatest games of all time Mario platformers are consistently hailed as being among the greatest games of all time

@ Fixxxer But surely it would be nice to get something actually new for once?

@Domovoi
Actually a lot of games journalists have said that it's very scripted. You've got to do to the same routine in the trailer or it doesn't work. |

If you watch the "official" vid then the demo lady isn't even standing in the right place for some of it. For example the playing in the water. She is standing right in front of the screen with her hand nearly touching it as she moves her arms. Yet the camera on top of the TV is picking up an image which it is putting on the screen it physically could not grab from that position. |

Why do people hate Mario so much?
Surely platform games are one of the biggest parts of videogame heritage and therefore Mario games, being some of the best examples of the platform game genre, are worthy of respect. I was certainly excited to hear about a new mario bros game, especially since it looks to be very similar to new super mario bros on the DS. Maybe its time for mario and luigi to go all first person and shoot the crap outta bowser and his henchmen? |

Not reading. Am I correct in guessing that the game of the show has been awarded to a Nintendo game?

re. 'The clamour to call Milo a fake when no-one ever claimed he was real - Molyneux himself admitting to "tricks"'
That's patently not true. Molyneux's words in the MS press conference were 'This works. Today. Now.' Sure, he back-tracked in interviews after the conference - saying that there are tricks involved, but his actual presentation - and the thing that gets most attention, especially outside the specialist gaming press - told a different story.

Yeah, it's weird that Oli said they were looking for 'newness' and yet they pick a Mario platformer as game of the show.

I dunno, it may not have been my game of the show but I'm looking forward to that new Mario game.

Mario is great as a character and Super Mario Galaxy was all kinds of super-awesome but, for whatever reason, I just cannot get excited about New Super Mario Bros. at all. Maybe I'm just dead inside but it looks like 2D retro update to me with added multiplayer and nothing new at all. Super Mario Galaxy 2 looks ten times more interesting...
