This is basically exactly what I was going to say, so I'll just quote it instead of taking 5 minutes to slightly re-word the same thing.

 

I'm sure Galaxy was an amazing game (I never played it), but what exactly did it revolutionize? From the trailers and footage I've seen it just looks like Super Mario 64 with obviously way more going on and HD graphics. Did it really revolutionize the platformer genre? I don't get how it's winning this poll...besides bias.

I voted Halo. It revolutionized first person shooters on consoles. Being a guy that missed out on Goldeneye when it was new, and having played it for the first time a couple years ago...I have no idea how people enjoyed it back then...the control scheme gave me cancer. Thank God Halo and other games around that time figured out about the dual joystick method. 

I loved Mario Galaxy (btw it's not HD :p) but it's evolutionary, not revolutionary. I have no idea how it's winning the poll either. Clearly not voting with a level head.

Goldenye was utterly amazing back when it came out, but you've got to remember, dual analogue FPS controls just weren't really known then. The PS1 and Saturn used a D-pad, so the N64 with a trigger and analogue control was revolutionary as far as those games went on consoles. Dual analogue controls didn't really set in until the PS2 as that was the first console with dual analogue as the standard setup.
