1) The Orange Box (PC)
2) Unreal Tournament 3 (PC)
3) World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade (PC, expansion)
4) Overlord (PC)
5) Puzzle Quest (PC)

5! and all PC.

I'm going to be a tad different.

1. Persona 3
2. Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations
3. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
4. Odin Sphere
5. Tomb Raider: Anniversary

Worst Game- Fusion Frenzy 2, just *shutter*

Biggest Letdown- Trauma Center: New Blood. I was hoping 2-player surgery would be more fun than that... >_>

Yeah I don't have a PS3 or a 360. I played Fusion Frenzy 2 at a friends house and I'm pretty sure he went suicidal after realizing how much money he spent on that... thing.
Television show I'm currently obsessed with:

You see Diane Rigg in this show? Rawr!

1. MLB power pros (one of my favorite. Japanese sports game maybe because it has RPG elements in it. wiki )

2.  Persona 3 (A game that teaches your kids to point a gun to there heads and shot them self’s with it for what you may  ask to releases the manifestation in inside there head.) :fogetgasp:

3. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction ( what can I say I love Ratchet and Clank games​

4. Folklore (was at least fun to play but I'm not a Folkwhore)

5. God of War II (did some one say blood and what… did I hear nudity) :naughty:

Worst Game- Assassin's Creed looks good and play ok but games that make you do the samething over and over and over with no freedom at all make me sick.

Biggest Letdown-Don't have one.

Call of Duty 4: Easily a No-Brainer, The Multi-player is far superior to Halo 3's, The Single-Player adds a lot of fun for a short time, with a decent storyline. This is the game I've been waiting for for a long time. A modern day FPS that isn't a squad based game like Rainbow Six.

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade: 1st Expansion to the greatest MMORPG: This added 2 new Races, raised level cap to 70, Increased the game's Land Mass by 25% and so on.

Mass Effect: Bio-ware's latest Triumph. An amazing game in every aspect. Great combat, voice acting, game play and so on.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune: The game possesses a terrific storyline and the graphics are the best the PS3 has to offer. The enemy AI is a little cheap at times but the game is a must buy for any PS3 owners

Halo 3: I've been following Halo since the days of Marathon back on the Mac. The reason I got the first Xbox was mainly for the first game. This one was no different then the rest, Great Storyline, graphics etc. Multiplayer could've been a lot better I thought but the game is still one of the best.

Worst Game: I never tend to buy play games =/

Biggest Letdown: Assassin's Creed: This game could've been so much more. But it just repeats itself over and over. "Ah Altier you need more intel before I let you kill your target" "Good you have what I need go kill your target" I then get swarmed by 50+ guards I can kill all of them one at a time by pressing the X button at the right time to counter. Then repeat the process all over.

1. Halo 3
2. Super Mario Galaxy
3. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
4. Mass Effect
5. Metroid Prime 3

This is from what I have played, which isn't every good game released in '07.
Removed LoZ: Twilight Princess because it is an '06 game. Silly me!  :fogetlaugh:

Assasins Creed -
Sorry, but it just caught me right between the eyes. The game is massive and pretty.

Call of Duty 4 -
Awesome game, short though. Fun online makes up for what its lacking in single player~

Warhawk -
I never thought I could see my self playing a Playstation network game more than just a bit. My god, I love this game.

Shivering Isles -
Se-se-sexy expansion pack to one se-se-sexy g-game.

Portal -
Funny as fuck and fun to play. Trippy.

Biggest letdown -
Ok, I'm still pissed off that Call of Duty 4's storymode is so goddamn short.

1)BioShock
2)Orange Box(Portal)
3)Super Mario Galaxy
4)Mass Effect
5)Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Worst Game: Two Worlds but I feel kinda bad for the poor little thing. If it wasn't for the fact that a bunch of people said this game would be the second coming of the Christ(the first being Oblivion) the game wouldn't have been shoot down in flames by critics and gamers alike. It would have been put in the B class games that you get for your PC when you have money burning your pockets. Sadly the hype that was around that game, and the fact it did not live up to them, makes it worse game of 2007.

Of course, saying this was the worst of 2007 is a bit hypocritical. I'm sure a bunch of movie based games are waaaaaaaaayyyyyy worse then this but...... who the hell plays this thing except Little Timmy when his soccer mom buy him one.

Biggest letdown: Metroid Prime 3 :  A great game but I felt it dropped a lot of stuff that made 1 and 2 so great for the sake of "epicness" and by doing this I kinda felt that they forgot what Metroid was about. The atmosphere is there but not as much as the two previous games in the series. The whole traveling between planets don't really add much to gameplay as it's just an elaborate loading screen. The game is great, don't get me wrong. But some of the charm was lost.

1. Orange Box (Portal + TF2 = Victory)
2. Bioshock (Wasn't as REVOLUTIONARY as they hailed it, but still a solid game)
3. CoD4 (Short campaign, online seems like a watered-down Battlefield 2 IMO.)
4. Rock Band (Great party game. Too bad it's not for the Wii)
5. RE: Umbrella Chronicles (Fun co-op.)

Worst Game - Assassin's Creed (I expected it to be Hitman in an open environment. Not even close. You don't even have to scout your target or make the killing look like an accident.)

I'm pretty sure Wii Play is as well. :p

Anyway, I just installed CoD4 today and I'm not far in it yet so I won't nominate it but I will beat it before the poll.

1. Super Mario Galaxy
2. Crysis
3. Bioshock
4. Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions
5. HL2 Orange Box (haven't played Portal yet though :D​)

World in Conflict and Jeanne d'Arc (if it came out this year) are great too.

IN NO ORDER:

Halo 3
Orange Box
Bioshock
Call of Duty 4

Also like what about games that are really 2006 releases but saw a re-release on a new system (i.e. oblivion was released on the PS3 this year but originally came out in 06)

Didn't play many new games this past year:

Command&Conquer 3
Super Mario Galaxy
CSI: Hard Evidence
The Simpsons Game

..I do want to play a lot of them, like Blue Dragon, Mass Effect and Unreal Tournament 3.

Biggest let down?  Halo 3, I suppose.  (Remember, I haven't played many new games from 2007).  I was expecting it to be good, given the tsunami of hype, but it really wasn't anything special. Or particularily good.

..:: Full game is released.  Download it now! ::..
