Call of Duty: Black Ops may have taken the Christmas crown but Super Mario Galaxy 2 is this year's best game, according to Edge.

"Super Mario Galaxy 2 nips and tucks its predecessor's triumphs into tuned and taut snippets of interactive euphoria," it says.
"Galaxy 2 is product of a surfeit of imagination and a will to test and delight that sits at the very peak of videogame artistry."
Edge placed Rock Band 3 and Bayonetta as runners-up in its best mainstream game category.
