They should made that list out of 10 lol. They missed out some crucial games.

So the media is biased. That totally explain how Galaxy, Brawl, and Sports made so many top lists. You know the media being biased against Nintendo and all. Speaking to a bias against super casual games perhaps, but those aren't really incredibly popular with gamers are they? Nintendo doesn't have a game on the list, because Nintendo doesn't have one of its high end exclusives on the horizon. They just have their super casual fare.

Were Nintendo releasing a Zelda, a Mario, a Brawl, a Kart, a Starfox, a Pilotwings, a Fzero, and so forth of a high quality this holiday season. Yes a Nintendo game would be on that list, but that is not what Nintendo is releasing this year. This is all crying fowl for no other reason then covering the ass of Nintendo.

There is no bias. The Wii is simply not getting a seriously epic game this year. So how can they be in a top five. That would be artificial and dishonest. Next year maybe, but Nintendo just does not have anything stellar on tap for this year. Hell in its first year the PS3 was much the same way. Uncharted was such an unknown property it rarely made the lists.

Well, I like the thinking games moreso than the finger-twitching ones, though I can't deny nostalgia has some views in my interests also. That said:

Number of games in Khuutra's list that interest me: 3

Number of games in BMaker11's like that interest me: 0

Number of original top 5 games that interest me: 0

Number of original top 5 to be rated M: 4

Ways original site fails without even going there: 2 (Use of 'everyone' when it's been proven wrong, excessive ratio of M games for a site that claims to be "all age.")

I do love when these sites generalize for "everyone's" tastes.

How sad.

I own the bejabbers out of a 360, it's just that you failed to name off games that excite me more than those previously listed!

Yes, Mario and Sonic as the Olympic Games is bigger than the vast majority of games released this generation.

And yes, I meant sales, but I expect New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Little King Story to be better than the vast majority of the games you listed, too, NSMBW in particular. I have no doubt in my mind that the ability to sit down with my wife, or with my brother, and plow through some classic Mario action, far outweighs the experiences offered by a sequel to Assassin's Creed, or Bioshock, or Tekken. Alpha Protocol is the only game I can think of that I anticipate coming close to that, and that only because of Obsidian.

But that's me.

I think it's fine to compile a list and exclude handheld games as that's a preference thing. That doesn't mean there's bias involved in compiling the list. People here regularly exclude PC games from discussions and that seems to be acceptable on the grounds that those individuals are console gamers. It seems like you could logically extend this to a more specific group, say a "HD" only gamer, nintendo only gamer, etc.

I find that list way too shooter heavy for my liking. Even if it's for HD consoles only, where's Bayonetta? Brutal Legend? ...Demon's Souls?

Nintendo is releasing a Mario game in the main series (New Super Mario Bros. Wii). 

The thing is, AAG stated that these were the top five games on everybody's list, but Nintendo has two games that are probably on more peoples minds than any other game: Wii Sports Resort and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.  These two games will be/are bigger than all of the games listed (with the possible exeption of MW 2). 

i agree, but i think wii sports resort will be bigger than MW2
