Sorry for the double post

Most, if not all the big hit games have been released to the public. Now it's just a few short weeks to Xmas, and we'll be sliding into 2008. Shane86 over in the News forum mentioned someone should make a poll discussing this. I thought "That's a darn good idea". So here I am. Pick your favorite (sorry if it's not on there, there's only 10 slots, and umpteen million games of '07). I'm a 360 guy myself, but I tried to be unbiased while making the list.

Why the hell is Bioshock not up there?

I personally prefer Mass Effect. The story in that game was freaking awesome!

2nd place would be Orange box because portal is great and the cake is not a lie.

*slaps self* I forgot Bioshock, my bad. Like I said, too many games and I wanted to give as much equal love to the consoles as possible.

... Well you can't really have a GOTY poll if you don't have some of the years top rated games.

Thats ok, I just looked at the list and everything seemed right except no Bioshock.

Well what would he take down? Zelda? Or should it be allowed to exceed the cap of 10?

WTF where is bioshock. OMG lol Why do you even have halo 3 lol it sucks, as for story bioshock wins, gfx crysis as for deal of the centuray great content orange box

You could definitely replace Rock Band with BioShock.

Halo 3 has a 93.2% rating on Gamerankings. It doesn't suck. Once again, I apologize for forgetting Bioshock. I myself have played through it and loved it, but with the 5 minute limit to post the poll and the 10 space limit, I was a bit crunched in making the list.

Yeah, that or Phantom Hourglass (great game, but lost in the rush).

spudnik is right, bioshock was one of the most entertaining games ive ever played. While it may not pass cod4, in my opinion, it is an easy second place for me.

i said mass effect, I havn't played COD 4 yet though, but so far ME seems better than halo and bioshock.

you just can't beat mass effect's story.

yes, but mass effect has a short story, I think ME would be a defininte win if it had co op and longer story.

co-op in Mass Effect would've been nasty good. A longer story would've been cool, but I think it suffers from being the first of 3.

I voted Halo 3.

*prepares for flame barrage*

And not just because Bungie shamelessly kinda-sorta hinted at offering Recon armor to voters if Halo 3 wins. I actually genuinely love the game.

I haven't played Halo 3 much since Orange Box and CoD4 were released, but I understand it has a huge following and is an above average game with fun multiplayer. I considered leaving it off the list, but as many people who hate it, there are dozens who love it.

What the heck?

These posts should be down below

On page 3. I apologize, though I don't think this spam of 3 posts will make much difference. Strange they appeared near the top of page 2, and not the bottom of 3.

Bioshock has 5 votes

on gamerankings.com super mario galaxy was given a 97.5% although i hate it dont think nintendo could pay gameranking so much that the game would have been no2 highest of all time so far

yes, but mass effect has a short story, I think ME would be a defininte win if it had co op and longer story.

How would you do co-op dialogue?:confused:

CoD4! :D

I vote bioshock

There's something wrong with the forums right now. The topics and posts are all jumbled up.

Is this working now?

Orange Box!!!!! I'm a Cheap-ass SOAB

Hey, where's BioshocK?????????

OK! 1 for Bioshock!

Anyone else? lol

It was forgotten.

COD4 FTW

Too bad

Have to say Mass Effect. I haven't played another game since it came out. But Soap and Gordan Freeman are going to war for second place and already left Master Chief in thet wake. Who would have thought that Halo 3 wouldn't even be in my top three by the end of the year?
Although to be honest I'm not sure Orange Box should be in the running as it re-releases and bit parts. As great as Portal is its very short.

GO Uncharted, great story, great characters, great game.

COD 4 for a great but rather short sp and a superb multiplayer despite the tons of grenades. Those nades always catch me off guard.. :(

Dude, get Bioshock on there, like now. Not that the other games are bad, it just... COME ON!

what the hell? i thought God of War 2 would definetly be on there. i thought that game was the ps2s greatest game yet.

Dang....this is a tough one. I would say Assassins Creed, but the god awful story and repetivness drags it down. CoD4 is fun but it's shorter then Gary Coleman. Rock Band cost too much. Halo 3 is good but not GOTY material. Haven't played Mass Effect enough to say anything. Metroid Prime 3 was great but the little Fuel Cell hunt near the end sucked ass. Orange Box is the best deal in Video Game history but i can't give a GOTY to a game where half of it has been out for more then a year. So my GOTY goes to Super Mario Galaxy......It probaly would of been Bioshock...but *GASP* it's not on here....LoL JK.

I dont think I can pick any one GOTY... my tastes dont cover enough ganras to finalize like that, but if I had to select the finalists:

1) Metroid Prime 3 - Reinventing control schemes and doing it well counts for something. I dont know if it deserves GOTY, but it does deserve mention for moving things ahead in that regard.

2) COD4 - NOT my kind of game, but Ive seen more then enough to say this game would deserve it.

3) Mario Galaxy - To be honest, I cringed when I tried this and Mario decided to run with his arms out like a 4 year old or a retard playing airplane. Brought back old impressions of why I didnt even really try Mario 64. But all in all, the game controls AWESOME and feels right for a game. Period. This has potential.

4) Portal - Honestly, this is probably my pick in total. New mechanics, new awesome puzzles, and an insane computer that is like Shodan on Happy pills. THIS in my mind, wins.

5) Crysis - Great game that pushes the power like so many WANT to say they do and hasnt really been done since Gear of War. Well deserved for at least runner up.

Now games I dont believe should be nominated:

1) Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Ok, so it JUST squeaked in time-wise, but as good as the game is, it has a few GLAIRING flaws that I cant accept. THIS review (http://madoverlord.livejournal.com/134859.html) explains my view perfectly.

2) Bioshock - I WOULD have and loved to have put this in my nominees, but when a distributor basically treats one of it's platforms like criminals AND the copyprotection only seems to work to keep paying players from reinstalling it to their PCs, I think that's an automatic disqualification.

3) Halo 3 - Average game... sorry... that's it.

Super Mario Galaxy FTW!

bioshock

halo 3... maybe bioshock or mass effect or galaxy or metroid and orange box was o-k... yeh thats it those all deserve it

2007 game of the year there are too many good games this year. I always liked bioware's rpgs like KOTRI and Neverwinter Nights, and Mass Effect was no dissappointment. but, I also enjoyed Uncharted: Drake's fortune. I will go with Mass Effect for my game of the year. Bioshock, it was a good game with superb graphics and the plasmids were pretty cool especially the bees. But, it was too easy I like a little more of a challenge from games and the fact you immediately respawn after you die with all your items and money kind of takes the challenge from the game.
