Good post, I agree. Sometimes I feel videogames have become some kind of homework, with all the hours you need to spend in them and sometimes little reward. Mario Galaxy is a game in which you can have fun just jumping or fooling around to see gravity effects, or enjoying the music, art design, or new control mechanics. There's so much to do in the game, and almost every level is unique, that it still feels fresh after finishing.
A true masterpiece
