EDGE has published the results of the recent British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards today, the winner of “Best Game” being Super Mario Galaxy.

Personally, I got bored of Mario Galaxy pretty quickly, and got bored of LittleBigPlanet even faster. You might have guessed that I think Left 4 Dead should have won, and you’d be right. Left 4 Dead has way more zombies than Mario Galaxy.

2 Comments » videogamereign on March 11, 2009 7:04 pm I don’t like Mario Galaxy at all, and I don’t think it should have one ANY award, let alone best game. I would have to agree that L4D should have won something, but I don’t think it deserves best game. DavidGX on March 11, 2009 11:41 pm Having played SMG I really can’t argue. It’s a real masterpiece, a rare thing for the Wii =/ RSS feed for comments on this post.
