IGN says Mario Galaxy isn't popular 01:41:28 PM CT [Super-Jesse]
Okay, that title is a bit misleading, but take a look.

IGN Entertainment released its latest GamerMetrics report, and it'll come at a surprise for Mario fans. The GamerMetrics list gauges reader interest in games through surveys and user activity on IGN's sites, including IGN.com, TeamXbox.com and Fileplanet.com. While the first two games listed aren't a surprise to anyone (Halo 3, GTV IV), it's the lack of Super Mario Galaxy (on the list) that perplexes me. This could be blamed on lack of information, but interestingly enough, Super Smash Bros. Brawl did crack the top 5, which hasn't even had a full roster announced yet. Of course, Mario fans need'nt fret; Super Pario Paper Mario comes in at number two on the list of games that have been released. Below I've included the top five in both categories.

Top 5 unreleased overall

1. Halo 3
2. Grand Theft Auto IV (360)
3. Mass Effect
4. Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)
5. Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Top 5 released overall

1. God of War II
2. Super Paper Mario
3. Crackdown
4. Pokemon Diamond
5. Guitar Hero II (360)

Of course, maybe SMG came in at number 6. I guess the world will never know...
