What has been the best game to come out since August of 2007. List as many reasons as you want for your desicion. It could be something as simple as The Organge Box, because of its price.

I think it is Mass Effect. No other game allows you a "campaign" of at least 40 hours of gameplay. It has incredible voice acting, and got unfairly rated on Gamespot.

Virtua Fighter 5, version C. There's so much to this game that I seriously have no need for new releases until Super Turbo HD arrives next year.

The voice acting in ME is good and all, but I think it's wierd that a lot of these Alien's have like, american sounding accents and stuff...Yes there are exceptions, but it's still one of those little things that get on my nerves.

The Witcher - Finally, an RPG that delivers a real mature plot and actually gives weight to the choices your character makes rather then the typical good vs. evil path, this is the one RPG since the Platinum age that actually deliver actual moral ambiguity in the decisions your character makes. It's been quite awhile since an RPG delivered a great complex story that is truly non-linear. I also can't remember the last time a game delivered real adult content without being immature.....maybe Mafia back in 2002. Excellent atmosphere and of couse a campaign that is over 60 hours long with multiple story path. I definitely see this as an RPG GOTY contender here at Gamespot and other places, hopefully even winner.

Crysis - Crytek has delivered the first of what I would consider actual "next-gen" technology, and with it they also delivered one of the best FPS games this year or even in awhile. The technology and engine in Crysis is second to none....huge fully interactive environments with a level of detail that is literally the best out of any game currently out. Not only that but as a shooter Crysis delivers excellent sandbox gameplay that lets the player approach difference situations a variety of ways. It's no surprise this game has been receiving top reciew scores, especially here at Gamespot.

Super Mario Galaxy - SMG is one of the most unique and best games to come along for any platform for awhile. I expect nothing less from the mind of Miyamoto. It's a game anyone can pick up, and that can appeal to any type of gamer. Nintendo definitely delivered a winner with this one.....if I had to place my bet on which game will walk away with Overall GOTY this year, not only at Gamespot but at other big gaming sites, it's this game.

For me either Halo 3, Crysis or Portal. Haven't had time to play The Witcher or Mass Effect yet.

Crysis is awesome.

When online you can get alien freeze rays and cannons and tanks that fire NUKES.

Nukes go BOOM!!!!!!!!. Everyone loves nukes in games.

Adios

I just love Mario Galaxy. Mass Effect is great and all, but at the end of the day, it's laden with faults that keep it from true greatness. I think that the Orange Box and Puzzle Quest XBLA also deserve a mention.

Right now I am throroughly enjoying Assassin's Creed. The whole flags thing goes back to my addiction of the orbs in Crackdown but this is harder because there is no sound to go by, they are harder to see, and they are in much harder to find places. They just know how to get me.

Right, collecting flags is surprisingly fun, considering that you don't get anything for doing it, apart from some achievements.

It has to be Mario. It's more than just a great game, I think it will prove to be a landmark in game design and development.
