The grrrrrreatest game of 2007.
 
A little in house acknowldgement to the game of the year, I need submissions to put together a poll for this, so the most voted on games here will then be put there.

Orange Box.

Disgruntled Intern 11-30-2007 07:59 PM

Nemo 11-30-2007 10:57 PM

Battletoads.

Sam & Max Series 1

Technically, it began in 2006 but most of the episodes came out this year. And it's the only new game I've played all year, poor me.

Leto 12-01-2007 08:52 PM

Was it even that good? I considered getting it but thought twice when I saw its previews.

Nate 12-01-2007 09:36 PM

Well you have to like adventure games and appreciate the absurdist humour of the series. There was certainly enough there to keep me occupied (eps 4&5 especially).

Laser 12-02-2007 01:06 AM

Either TF2 or Crysis

OddjobAbe 12-02-2007 02:19 AM

Super Mario Bros.
Alternatively, RBI Baseball.

Havoc 12-02-2007 03:58 AM

Absolutely not Crysis. I say Portal.

Xavier 12-02-2007 10:14 AM

Bioshock or Assassin's creed

didn't play the orange box yet :s

Hobo 12-02-2007 10:37 AM

Orange box is not a game. It is 3 games.

And Nate's choice is awesome.

moxco 12-02-2007 11:17 AM

Halo 3 anyone? :(

Although I do admit halo isn't that good so why is it so famous?

I don't actulay own Bioshock but I've rented it out from the Blockbuster. It's probably my favourite.

Psychonauts.


Psychonauts is the best game of every year.

Disgruntled Intern 12-02-2007 12:32 PM

Agreed.

I'm not sure how I feel about Tim Schafer's new project, though.

It looks...okay.

OANST 12-02-2007 12:38 PM

I bet It'll be funny. I am not a fan of heavy metal but I think I will enjoy this.

Heh. Last year a bunch of games sites had a campaign like that for Animal Crossing. I did play that a bit at the end of last year and the beginning of this; it stole my life away.

BioShock - No doubt has the best art direction, but that doesn't make it GotY. Also, has no replay value after a mere two playthroughs. Lose.

HL2: Ep 2 - Expansion packs don't count, even really good ones. Lose.

Portal - Despite my rampant fanboyism for this game, it's only two hours long, and the challenges you unlock after you beat the full game do little to extend its life. Lose.

TF2 - Cool art direction. Multiplayer only. Lose.

Orange Box (overall) - Will never win, no matter how good of a package it is. Redefines "cult hit" just by the sheer amount of people that aren't playing it. Lose.

Halo 3 - Kill yourself. Lose.

Mass Effect - Slutty, overrated garbage. Lose.

...

So, overall, I'm going with Call of Duty 4. Even though the single player isn't as good (or long) as CoD2, it's still a solid game, and has incredible multiplayer. Wouldn't mind if Orange Box showed up as GotY on a few lists, but I'm expecting CoD4 to take the cake. No offense, Portal.

skillyaslig 12-03-2007 01:16 AM

ohh, well I like Viva pinata (http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/i/killitwithfire.gif) yes I KNOW. Well I dont know when it was made or whatever, but I like. Oh and HALO 3 mwhaha. And Bioshock, thats quite wikked, in a warped way XD

Mac Sirloin 12-03-2007 03:29 AM

I don't want to put Halo 3 on this list, as stupid as that sounds, I know, but I don't find it any more exciting or fun than any other monotonous shooter, like, say Serious Sam.

KING SHRYKULL X 12-03-2007 11:52 AM

Crysis

Gran turismo

Abe's odyssey

Hobo 12-03-2007 12:54 PM

It's quite clearly about 2007. only one of your games was released then.

Instant fail.

Abe's odyssey

Sorry, your ten years off mate.

Strike Witch 12-05-2007 02:17 AM

Halo 3, simply because I made my elite pink and pale blue.

And killing people with a pink and blue alien hefting a clumsy flamethrower is Awesome and Win, Ne?

Because really, video games are about fun, no matter how much that cast-iron shaft up yer butt screams "INTEGRITYDIGNITYDONTPLAYGAMESTHATARERELATEDTOAPARTICULARCULTUREYOUSUPERIORBASTARD", Just find something you find fun, and play it.

You know it, ne?

Hobo 12-05-2007 09:08 AM

What did i tell you about screen stretching ghost?

Strike Witch 12-05-2007 11:01 AM

It's not stretching for me, ne?

Hobo 12-05-2007 11:15 AM

Then use a decent theme like Industrial:P That post stretched my screen!

Strike Witch 12-05-2007 06:44 PM

Seriously? I use Industrial.

You must have a pretty small screen, ne?

Hobo 12-06-2007 08:30 AM

I'm using a widescreen laptop, but it's moving the borders of the page and stop with the fucking ne? or bantime.

Laser 12-06-2007 10:23 AM

Bioshock!!
