1. Super Mario Galaxy-Wii
Quite possibly one of the best games ever made. Period.
2. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune-PS3
My Childhood fantasies of being Indiana Jones brought to life. This game should sell PS3s it just that good. With a stellar story and excellent combat system, this is by far one of the best this year.
3. Bioshock-Xbox 360, PC
It's captivating story and its superb and unique graphical style create a mood not found in other games. Reinventing the FPS as we know it Bioshock should be played by all.
4. The Orange Box-Xbox 360, PC
The best deal in video game history. A repackaging of Half-Life 2 and Episode1, plus the all new Episode 2. Seems worthy of $60, but add in Portal, a puzzle game with a certain indescribable feeling to it that will leave you wondering why other games are like it, and Team Fortress 2, the long awaited sequel and the best multi-player game this year. Just Buy It.
5. Call of Duty 4-Xbox 360, PC, PS3
With a most pleasurable move to modern times, Call of Duty 4 is a roller coaster ride that when over, you'll want to "ride again". It also has the second best multi-playyer game out this year.
6. Mass Effect-Xbox 360
Finally a decent, dare I say it, good RPG to grace the 360. Mass Effect is what KOTOR fans have been waiting for. While it has its problems, all glitch based, it still is a great game and should be given its chance.
7. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction-PS3
What can I say about this game. How about its Pixar quality graphics, its great humor, or what about its return to its roots. No matter how you look at it, Ratchet and Clank Future is a great game and worthy of its spot on this list.
8. The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hour Glass-DS
To put it simply. It's a Zelda game, of course it's good. While this game may be easier and simpler then its console and portable brethren, it still is a fantastic game. It's Zelda, just play it.
9. Picross-DS
It's a puzzle game where you fill in certain squares in a grid to make an overall picture. Sounds boring, but the strange thing is, it's not. It's actually incredibly fun, addictive, and challenging. It's shaping up to be the new Tetris, plus it's only $20. If you own a DS, just pick it up ang give it a try.
10. Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure-Wii
Ignore the clearly assinine title. Ignore the cutsey graphics and anoying voice-overs. What your left with is a point and click puzzle/adventure that is both challenging and fun. If you can overcome its shortcoming steming from shooting for a clearly wrong target audience, what is left will not dissapoint and will give you yet another reason to play your Wii 'till Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes out.
Honorable Mentions:
Rockband-PS3, Xbox 360--It's one of the best party games around. Unfortunatly it just couldn't make the cut.
After decades of running an incredibly popular modding community site, Nexus Mods founder Dark0ne is passing control to new owners.
RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is not only a mouthful to say out loud, but it's also a remaster packed with meaningful quality-of-life
This means Mortal Kombat, Batman Arkham, and more franchises would then be the property of Sony.
[grabs popcorn] Wonder what the fans, who said MS would make every ABK/Zenimax game exclusive, will say about this?
Personally, i don't care. It's why i buy all platforms, so I don't find myself in these precarious predicaments.
"Wonder what the fans, who said MS would make every ABK/Zenimax game exclusive, will say about this?"
Do not expect Mr. Dead to be seen or heard anywhere near this topic, as usual.
Personally I don´t care. Just make it happen, Sony.
@obscured: “ "Wonder what the fans, who said MS would make every ABK/Zenimax game exclusive, will say about this?"
.
I don’t know about everyone else but if Microsoft didn’t blown up the door and the building foundation this wouldn’t happen do I approve it no, do I understand why it’s happening yes.
Remember FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS A EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION.
They did make the zenimax games exclusive at first (Hifi rush, Starfield, Redfall...) but when that didn’t really result in gaining ground against Sony Microsoft corporate made the gaming division port the games to PS5 to recoup the 70 billion+ buying costs for these publishers.
That and maybe their games wont be structured like a $60 free to play games with over convoluted crafting and currency systems in a single player game. I still don't understand that bs
Oh good idea Spider-Man on MK.
Or let’s play conspiracy theory here
Sony is after the DC universe to join the marvel universe on a dc vs marvel game or movie series 🤣
Why Sony always doing the worst Aquisitions, in the last years -.-
Bungie sucks and was so expensive. Than all this Gaas Studios....
Now WB whos studios aren't good enough.
WB would stay 100% multi, because this games ain't good enough for exclusives.
good list
for me top two
are uncharted and mass effect. Uncharted had a little better graphics but Mass Effect had a better story IMO hmm... I didn't really play that many games on your list
game of 2007 for me is guess Mass Effect.... (or Uncharted) I can't make up my mind
OHH GOD NO Super Mario Galaxy, big disagree i bought it and what the hell is with that game first level stupid story, chase the little yellow bunny things i couldn't do it it just made me angry, a;dk;akdghklahg i can't play that game, well i guess i don't really like mario to begin with
Good list except for the #1 I really didnt like SMG
Thank you thank you thank you for mentioning Uncharted! One stupid gaming magazine awards Clive Barker's Jericho Editor's Choice, but denies it from Uncharted.
*cough* GamePro *cough*
