Honestly, this is a insult for the Wii. World of Goo is a little game that can be downloaded. He could be good , but he will never deserve the title of best game of the year.

SSBB is by far the best game of the year on Wii. This is not even debatable. No doubt about it. IGN is delusional and can not be took for serious anymore.

 

I'm not sure why you consider a good downloadable game any less impressive than a full disc game. Look at Braid on the 360, it was one of the best games on the 360 this year and it is a downloadable game made by two people.

Just becase a game is a smaller scale doesn't make it worse than a large scale game.

 

Because it is less impressive than a full disc game. The difference of content is obvious.  Brawl is an enormous game who offers all we wanted. I have not played World of Goo and I don't plan to play it, but he can't offer what SSBB can offer. If we add that SSBB is the funniest game on Wii and the best multi player game available on this console, I can't see how goo could steal the title of best Wii game of the year.
That also reduces the Wii library to Wiiware, who is in his major part worthless , more as a little bonus, if we are honest.

 

That is not a good argument as you haven't played Goo so cannot make any form of rational decision. Brawl is a good game; nay, an excellent game, but Goo is quirky, clever, fun and unique. To dismiss it without having even given it a chance is childish. Far too many people are showing signs of this kind of lunacy. I understand that Brawl is enormous and that is a good thing for people that are in love with the game and I did enjoy it a lot, having never played a Smash game, but this doesn't make it better than a small game like Goo. Both games are good value, but Goo needs that support more than Brawl - 50,000 (plus whatever else it has done over the last few weeks) as opposed to 7.5 million or so. Highlighting this game is a good thing, even if the conspiracists are correct and this was nont IGN's intention. People that are complaining that it is IGN's way of digging at Nintendo may have a point, but they may also be exhibiting slightly crazed, paranoid tendencies of those too deeply into conspiracy theories.
