Alrighty, GW!  Here is you chance to pick what you think was the best game of the year!

Part I - January 1st - January 4th: Everyone should post their top 5 games of 2007. Any system is acceptable, just as long as it was released sometime between January 1st, 2007 and now. Preferably multi-region games as well, so no Japan or Europe only games. No need to put them in any particular order either, just list what you though was good this year.

Part II - January 5th - January 7th: At this point I'll take the top 10 games mentioned in this topic and create a poll with them.  You'll then get your chance to vote what you think should be Game of the Year.

And to add a little spice, everyone should also nominate two additional games.  "Worst Game of the Year" and "Biggest Let Down of the Year".  Worst game could just be the game you hated so damn much, or maybe it really had a lot going against it.  And the biggest let down is a game you felt didn't live up to your expectations.

Enough talk, have at it!

1. Assassin's Creed
2. Bioshock
3. Super Mario Galaxy
4. Half-Life 2: Orange Box (specifically Portal, though TF2 is awesome)
5. Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword

Worst Game: Two Worlds (not a lot I could think of this year, and the little time I did spend with Two Worlds was absolutely dreadful)

Biggest Let Down: Mass Effect (Don't get me wrong, the game is excellent, but from what I had read and seen the game was supposed to be phenomenal.  It just felt very unpolished to me)

1. Bioshock
2. Team Fortress 2
3. Super Mario Galaxy
4. Crysis
5. Orange Box

Worst Game: Two Worlds. This game was SO BAD.

Biggest Let Down: Two Worlds. It sounded so cool, but...when I played it....uhg...t.t

1. Call of Duty 4
2. Crysis
3. Team Fortress 2
4. Rock Band
5. Bioshock (haven't played it but I think it deserves to be here regardless)

Worst game: Soldier of Fortune: Payback. What a shitty, shitty game.

Biggest let down: The Witcher. I heard some pretty great things about it, but it was one of the most boring games I've ever played.

1. two worlds
2. the witcher
3. soldier of fortune: payback

will figure out the other two when I play more games.

1. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction


uh... I don't know what else even came out in 2007. Can someone put up a list of 2007 releases?

1: BioShock
2: Mass Effect
3: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
4: Super Mario Galaxy
5: Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions

Worst Game: Odin Sphere.  So amazingly beautiful... but so fucking boring and mediocre.

Biggest Let Down: Clive Barker's Jericho.  Undying was amazing... this game was just barely average.

Runner up for the biggest let down (sorry, I just had to add this): Persona 3.  I was expecting some Persona 2 awesomesauce but nope ANIME SCHOOL GIRLS IN GIANT DEMON SCHOOL DUNGEON CRAWL UR WAY 2 SUCCESS LULZ

1. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

Oh, thanks.

1. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
2. Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
3. Final Fantasy 12: Revenant Wings
4. Odin Sphere
5. Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour

1. TES Oblivion, Shivering Isles
2. Bioshock
3. Portal (Orange Box)
4. Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles (aka remake of Rondo of Blood in 2.5D and a port of Symphony of the Night on PSP)
5. Call of Duty 4

Worst Game: This was a good year actually. Even the FPSs played differently... FPSs being a genre I barely considered a genre at all (felt very samey for years). I spent all of my time playing worthy games... so I have yet to experiance the worst.

Biggest Letdown: My boys did the concept art of Assasin's Creed... there where big promises made from them and a lot of hype from everybody else.. but the game was beat in 2 days.. though it took less time for me to get bored of the rehash of rehashes. Play the game for an hour and you pretty much experianced all there is to experiance throughout the entire game. It was over for me by the sixth assasination. And it's not like gameplay was the only problem... but lets just say that the story didn't exactly help me stay interested. Don't get me wrong.... it was interesting... but not in the good way. The effect of all this was augmented by the fact that I bought it weeks before I had enough cash to replace my 360 (that was red lighted at the time.... with no warranty). I waited eagerly to play this game.... and I ended up replaying 80 hours (so far) of Oblivion on my new 360 instead. Aint that a bitch.

1. World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade
2. Halo 3
3. Unreal Tournament 3
4. Supreme Commander
5. Madden 2008

1. Call of Duty 4
2. Aquaria
3. Portal
4. The Witcher
5. Bioshock

Honorable mentions: World in Conflict, Crysis and the other Orange Box games.

Worst Game: Supreme Commander - I HATED this thing, man. I don't even know why. I played through all of the slow ass first level, finally beat it, then went on to the second, got right to the end (that's like an hour++) and my guy died.. then I found out it doesn't autosave. Aargh!

Biggest letdown: Two Worlds, easily. I really had hoped it would be good ​.

1. Halo 3
2. Portal
3. Call of Duty 4
4. Assassin's Creed
5. Stranglehold

Halo 3 for the incredible multiplayer and added Stranglehold just because it is ridiculously and hilariously fun. Plus it has Chow Yun Fat. *pow*

I only have four because hey, I don't play tons of new games.

Actually no, including Aquaria I have five.


1. Crysis
2. Folklore
3. World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade
4. Aquaria
5. Dirt

1) Super Mario Galaxy (WII)
2) Rock Band (XBOX 360/PS3)
3) The Orange Box (XBOX 360/PS3)
4) Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (PS3)
5) Sonic Rush Adventure (NDS)

Worst Game:  Like a lot of other people, I don't think I've really played a game this year that I could outright condemn, so I don't think it's fair I even supply a response in this category.
Biggest Letdown:  Dewy's Adventure (WII).  Seriously, this game had so much potential and flubbed it by having wonky tilt controls.
