seems that I couldn't help but wonder what others were voting on as the preliminaries of games in 2007 that were both worth the wait and hype...

Call of Duty 4 (15%)
Super Mario Galaxy (14%)
Halo3 (13%)
Bioshock (12%)

I would say that I'm very shocked to see Halo3 doing so well among the GS community that is still intact, but another detail kind of shakes me up. What games seem to be doing the best overall in 2007? FPS's! :lol: Not like thats any news to people who follow games, since FPS's are always present in every generation since the early 90's. What I ponder is maybe, just maybe shooters are finally making it apparent that FPS's seem to be the best ticket when aiming for the sweet spot on gamers. Not only does such games really bring a player closer into the action, but the method of storytelling is becoming so well rounded in developer houses you'd have to be pretty stubborn to not notice the trend is not all that bad...

Hell, even Crysis came close to hitting double digit percentage weighing in at 8% with over 1300 votes. My PC can't even begin to handle a beast of such demand, yet that doesn't stop me from finding a way to experience another solid FPS adventure. I know I'm hooked, been that way ever since I sat down in front of a Apple computer and played some dugeon crawlers.
Now with so much focus on shooters I can't really forecast if the craze is mostly due to the "ease" of making them, or if studios really are getting better at offering full adventures. Either way, its been good times for me with top picks so far being games I adore and own. Besides CoD4... :|

How bout that Mario guy! :P
