Best Games of 2007

[Pro A.]

Well, 2007 is in the books. Time to reflect. I wrote my list for the website and can be viewed through this link:

If, however, you are too lazy, here is my list in print.






10. Rock Band
9. Half-Life 2: Episode Two
8. Crysis
7. God of War II
6. Portal
5. Mass Effect
4. World in Conflict
3. Bioshock
2. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
1. Super Mario Galaxy

I encourage other lists and picks. There seems to be no general consensus this year, which is one of the deepest in recent memory.

I encourage other lists and picks.

Okay.

10) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii) *
9) Halo 3 (360)
8) Crysis (PC)
7) God of War II (PS2)
6) The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PS3) **
5) The Orange Box (360, PS3, PC)
4) Mass Effect (360, PC)
3) Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (360, PS3)
2) BioShock (360)
1) Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

honorable mentions:
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (PS3)
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3)
Forza Motorsport 2 (360)
Rock Band (everything and its grandma)
DiRT (360, PS3)

* This may be the part of my list people end up having the most trouble with, by I personally loved this game and felt it deserved higher marks than it got. I felt it to be a more impressive achievement than other games that people have set higher, like Rock Band, and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit more than I did Halo 3 (I don't do multiplayer). Folks don't have to like it, but they do have to live with it.

** I was reluctant to mention Oblivion at all since it was really a 2006 title, but it technically was a 2007 title for the PS3. It was great, I loved it, and wanted to rank it even higher, but it was also a year old by 2007, so I compromised by demoting it to number six.
