So, all other games released in 2013 are not great when compared old franchise rehashed in HD. I think Mario 3D world is great for platforming and fun but i would not rate this as Overall game of the year as this is not new and real Innovation in 2013 other than HD graphics of old mario series. Everybody thinks gaming is only about fun and they evaluate only that variable for review the game as top and they forget other new things the game can and will be able to produce.
GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,
its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).
So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.
PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.
Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.
Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.
