Bioshock is a new IP. Mario Galaxy is not. Even though BS does rely alot on System Shock's past feats (that went totally un-noticed), it still did enough with storytelling, graphics, gameplay, and such that were unique for a unique IP that should validate it.
The Mass Effect story is good, but the whole reason it has a good chance at GOTY is for story-telling. Don't you think that a game that changes the way conversations are held in a game, forever, is atleast a good bullet point vs. something like Halo 3?
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
