TIME has posted their top ten video games of 2007 for all to see. And because they're TIME, we'll write about it. We're not sure if we agree that their #1 pick Halo 3 is "the perfect hardcore first-person combat simulator" that has been perfected like "a pebble that has been rounded over the centuries by the gentle splashing of the ocean waves," but we certainly appreciate the poetic diction. The list has all your big players, but no love for COD4. Here's their top ten in full:

1. Halo 3
2. The Orange Box
3. Rock Band
4. Super Mario Galaxy
5. BioShock
6. Call of Duty 4
7. Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
8. Mass Effect
9. Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation
10. God of War 2

Is rock band even that good? it looks just like any other rythm game but with even more peripherals, which is nice so at least not everybody is usng a guitar or bongo.

The only one that probably doesn't belong there is Ace Combat 6... I would replace it with either Metroid Prime 3 or Crysis.

You know this is from the same people that told America, the people who are causing global warming and fighting random wars, they were the "person of the year."

They don't exactly have great judgement.

I can't wait until the journalism side of the industry gets big enough to start crushing these magazines.

Not only them, but stuff like VGA's are a disgusting display of propaganda that make gamers like myself want to throw up.

I hope there is a time when video games will get the right respect they deserve.

I can't believe they even omitted Crysis and World in Conflict. Is it because they are feeble minded and can't use a computer?

Saying that Ace Combat 6 is better than God of War 2, is like saying Alexander is bette than Gladiator.

I respect Time, but it seriously pisses me off when people who don't know the industry attempt to do something based only on hype.

Should switch Halo3 and SMG and replace Ace Combat with a bunch of other games. Besides that it's not a bad list.

There is nothing wrong with Mass Effect and Phantom Hourglass. I beat LoZ:PH and personally thought it was fantastic. Ace Combat isn't a very good game though.

Perhaps it's a failing of mine but I can't seem to wrap my head around why TIME magazine is an authority on gaming.

I'm not a TIME reader so I'm just spit-ballin' here:

I think those standings are based on either sales or hype. If not, then I'll be using GameSpot's picks as my yard stick to assess TIME's competence as game reviewers.
