Here is a brief summary of most of the GOTY awards from the critics:
Gamespot- Super Mario Galaxy
Gamespy- Call of Duty 4
Gamepro- Call of Duty 4
Time Magazine- Halo 3
X-Play- Bioshock
Video Game Awards 2007- Bioshock
1up.com- TBA
IGN.com- TBA
Yahoo- Super Mario Galaxy
TeamXbox- Mass Effect
My personal favorite- Call of Duty 4
So to sum it up, Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, and Super Mario Galaxy are the top games of the year. Yea, not a single game is from Sony's PS3 either. This year has been an amazing year for games, especially November, where huge games like Rock Band, Mass Effect, and Assassin's Creed were released. Next year it might not be as big, but at least we'll see games like Super Smash Brothers Brawl (online play, finally), Too Human, Bad Company, Halo Wars, GTA IV, and maybe Killzone 2. But im happy with my COD and Halo now.
