1. Super Mario Galaxy-Wii
Quite possibly one of the best games ever made. Period.
2. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune-PS3
My Childhood fantasies of being Indiana Jones brought to life. This game should sell PS3s it just that good. With a stellar story and excellent combat system, this is by far one of the best this year.
3. Bioshock-Xbox 360, PC
It's captivating story and its superb and unique graphical style create a mood not found in other games. Reinventing the FPS as we know it Bioshock should be played by all.
4. The Orange Box-Xbox 360, PC
The best deal in video game history. A repackaging of Half-Life 2 and Episode1, plus the all new Episode 2. Seems worthy of $60, but add in Portal, a puzzle game with a certain indescribable feeling to it that will leave you wondering why other games are like it, and Team Fortress 2, the long awaited sequel and the best multi-player game this year. Just Buy It.
5. Call of Duty 4-Xbox 360, PC, PS3
With a most pleasurable move to modern times, Call of Duty 4 is a roller coaster ride that when over, you'll want to "ride again". It also has the second best multi-playyer game out this year.
6. Mass Effect-Xbox 360
Finally a decent, dare I say it, good RPG to grace the 360. Mass Effect is what KOTOR fans have been waiting for. While it has its problems, all glitch based, it still is a great game and should be given its chance.
7. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction-PS3
What can I say about this game. How about its Pixar quality graphics, its great humor, or what about its return to its roots. No matter how you look at it, Ratchet and Clank Future is a great game and worthy of its spot on this list.
8. The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hour Glass-DS
To put it simply. It's a Zelda game, of course it's good. While this game may be easier and simpler then its console and portable brethren, it still is a fantastic game. It's Zelda, just play it.
9. Picross-DS
It's a puzzle game where you fill in certain squares in a grid to make an overall picture. Sounds boring, but the strange thing is, it's not. It's actually incredibly fun, addictive, and challenging. It's shaping up to be the new Tetris, plus it's only $20. If you own a DS, just pick it up ang give it a try.
10. Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure-Wii
Ignore the clearly assinine title. Ignore the cutsey graphics and anoying voice-overs. What your left with is a point and click puzzle/adventure that is both challenging and fun. If you can overcome its shortcoming steming from shooting for a clearly wrong target audience, what is left will not dissapoint and will give you yet another reason to play your Wii 'till Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes out.
Honorable Mentions:
Rockband-PS3, Xbox 360--It's one of the best party games around. Unfortunatly it just couldn't make the cut.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
good list
for me top two
are uncharted and mass effect. Uncharted had a little better graphics but Mass Effect had a better story IMO hmm... I didn't really play that many games on your list
game of 2007 for me is guess Mass Effect.... (or Uncharted) I can't make up my mind
OHH GOD NO Super Mario Galaxy, big disagree i bought it and what the hell is with that game first level stupid story, chase the little yellow bunny things i couldn't do it it just made me angry, a;dk;akdghklahg i can't play that game, well i guess i don't really like mario to begin with
Good list except for the #1 I really didnt like SMG
Thank you thank you thank you for mentioning Uncharted! One stupid gaming magazine awards Clive Barker's Jericho Editor's Choice, but denies it from Uncharted.
*cough* GamePro *cough*
