Name your game of the year....then back it up

Hey gamers,
I question arose up in mah head and it asked, what is this years game of the year?
knowing that there were many great games to be realeased this year it was a hard

question to be asked. Im stuck on whether it should be the king ofFPS, Halo 3 or the newlycrazed COD4

I posted this forum to see what u guys think?

While not my overall game of the year, BioShock is my favorite 360 game of 2007.

Incredible atmosphere, amazing graphics, a great story told in a very interesting way, satisfying gameplay, moral choices and a high level of polish make BioShock my 360 game of the year.

Halo3, Bioshock, AC, Cod4, ME, Orangebox.......damn it was a good year and i'm missing some games

how can a person pick

Mass Effect.

Halo 3 is garbage to me on a side note. Doesn't mean you have to think so, too, but I think it is.

To make the choice easier, think of a game that revolutionized the gaming world

but also think of ur fav game ;)

I dunno tbh. I'm honestly kind of dissapointed with this year's showing. I had such high hopes for so many games, but in the end, none of them were as amazing as they were hyped up to be.

Bioshock had a great story, but it got repetitive, the world felt dull and uninteresting, and it was too hard to find all the audio recordings which made me feel like I missed chunks of the story. The combat was also rather unsatisfying when taken side by side with other shooters.

Halo 3-story was passable, nothing special, felt a little disjointed and hard to follow at times, gameplay was good but sp was kind of short, graphics were good but not anywhere near GoW or AC, etc.

Mass Effect-Plot took WAY too long to get interesting, complete lack of tutorials, uninteresting combat that got old after a while, large number of mediocre side quests, large number of mediocre main quests (vermire, the last planet, and the endgame were the most memorable parts for me, everything else was kind of meh), large number of recycled environments, large number of uninteresting worlds, and overall...it felt to me that instead of stretching ME into a trilogy, our friends at bioware could easily have fit it all into one 30-40 hour game.

Assassin's Creed-Great story, great graphics, repetitive gameplay, underemphasized, underdeveloped, and borderline broken stealth mechanics, everything leading up to assassination's was incredibly boring and only on rare occasions would you find out something that was actually worthwhile, some of the missions were timed which was a complete pain, etc.

I may pick up COD 4...within the next few days. Hopefully that game will live up to the hype.

I would have to say as a package Halo 3. Thouth i dont play it as much anymore I still think i has all the key components of a game of the year lauriate. Highly Innovative, fun, great story, great graphics, amazing multiplayer. THis is the kind of game you can play hours and hours on.

However, as for what i'm playing now, COD4

im stuck between halo 3 fun online with a kindagood campaign

the orange box 5 games in 1 thats a realy great deal and it has realy good online

CoD 4 fun online fun campaign

assassins creed fun campaign with very good graphics

The Orange Box hands down!

Hopefully games are gonna give you more for your money. No more games that give you 6 hours of gameplay with no replay value.

Orange Box gives both entertainment and value. How could you pass it up?

i have also yet to play mass effect :P:PManni25

Halo 3 is my pick. Why? Because like any other Halo game you can go back to it at any time. Other games only last for so long then you wait for a sequel. Halo you quit for a while but go back to a month later.

It does have its cons though. I would like to see the melee system fixed and a better map selection, DLC is only 3 maps and its for $10.

Bioshock or Mss Effect. Somoen would literally have to put a gun to my head to make up my mind.

Beautiful graphics

Amazing stories with twist and turns that literally had me drooling

characters I feel in love with and dont get tired of seeing time and time again

and my favorite aspect to both...THE MUSIC AND SOUNDTRACK. I bought Mass Effects and really wish Bioshocks would come out. ut both had me just immersed into the enviroments and the magnitude of what was going on. Specifically the juteboxes in Bioshock and the end of Mass Effects score piece

Mass Effect.

Why? The story was incredible, the original score was beautiful, it has the deepest dialogue system of any game I've ever played, and overall just a fantastic game. And in my opinion it's frame-rate and glitches don't do anything to stop it from being one of the best games I've ever played in my life.

Halo 3's story wasnt great but online has replay value.

COD4's story was amazing but online play gets dull.

id have to give this one to halo because its online play. COD4 has an amazing story which is extremely short. Halo 3 also earns a plus for coming back from that shieet of a game Halo 2

Bioshock. Very original, inventive (no pun intended, haha), brutal. Story was the best story of any game this year and also had the best world. Extremely fantastic game.destinhpark

Bioshock wasn't original, it was system shock 2 all over again!

I am gonna go with orange box, every gaem on it is great and Portal is the best where as TF2 has better online than halo.

Whoah, looks like someone just realized that they have a hidden knack for making everything look like britany spears(ugly and annoying)

Either Bioshock because of the amazing story, visuals, and practically everything possible, or The Orange Box for the sheer amount of quality games from an all around standpoint.

Halo 3=9.5=GOTYcool_baller

[QUOTE="cool_baller"]Halo 3=9.5=GOTYDanStepanik66

360 - COD4 (Bioshock was so close but its a blast to play with friends)

Pc- Crysis (THe Whitcher was close)

now between these two im not sure which will win, toss in mario into that mix + all the other amazing 360 titles

I would have to say as a package Halo 3. Thouth i dont play it as much anymore I still think i has all the key components of a game of the year lauriate. Highly Innovative, fun, great story, great graphics, amazing multiplayer. THis is the kind of game you can play hours and hours on.

ill have to say assassins creed because compared to everything else, its different and its a lot of fun. it has its share of glitches like other games but makes up for it in many ways. also, ubisoft montreal put themselves firmly on the map with this one. noteworthy i think.cyberspy16

FTW!!!

call of duty 4 has an interesting single player and an awesome on-line that ive been playing all month. it doesn't get old to me because ofunlocks, challenges, and prestige. It is not totally inovating but it does everything well.

Halo 3 is boring as hell. it was not the least bit interesting in single player. I dont understand the halo hype.Online is boring there is nothing to play for really.no control over game type.I did like theco-op ithink more games need to do co opsingle player its a lot of fun.

MASS EFFECT

Mass Effect is such an emersive game with such an engaging story and good character development. I've never EVER played a game with so much depth and attention to story before. It really feels like a mix of an RPG and a third-person shooter and it plays very well. The graphics, especially character models, are top of the line with many locales to see that will make your jaw drop, despite the texture popping. The game itself lasts very long and can be played over and over again.
