Forums - Gaming Discussion - Game of the year 2007

I don't think Halo 3 will be game of the year as it doesn't look that much different to Halo 2 IMO, and there are already so many FPSs, that it's not gonna get any bonus point as it were for being "innotive". Personally I would give it to either:
Wii Sports
Unreal
Wiifit
GTAIV

Wii sports came out in 2006 not 07, it cant be game of the year 07.

Wii Sports was largely the GOTY last year...it is not a contender for this year...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I think one of the dark horses such as Mass Effect or Bioshock will take GOTY awards. Halo 3 is more of the same ol', same ol', as is GTA IV. They may be great games but they won't differ enough from previous versions to win GOTY.

My third choice is SMG.

In order:

1. Mass Effect
2. Bioshock
3. SMG




Or check out my new webcomic: http://selfcentent.com/

My guesses would be one of these 3 titles:

Super Mario Galaxy
Bioshock
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Halo 3 may be good, but I don't think it will be game of the year. Metroid Prime 3 could have a shot, but I doubt it. Unreal Tournament 3 could also have a shot, as could Mass Effect. Brawl will be a great game, but I don't think it qualifies for game of the year.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Uncharted is another solid choice. That could definitely surprise enough people to take the GOTY award.

Mmmm i really dont know which will be the GOTY but the nominees i think will be:

Bioshock
Mass Effect
Assassins Creed
Super Mario Galaxy
CoD4

That last one could change.

Who gave Wii Sports game of the year? It won the most innovative award and stuff but not GOTY from the awards I heard about.

 

I think by logic, the lead candidate should be Mass Effect because if that game delivers on what it's promising it would be GOTY hands down. Also games like Halo, GTA and Mario should get less consideration cause they are sequels, need more new franchises to win awards. 

 

 



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

I dunno, I thought it got a crapload of awards...Zelda did too...there weren't a lot of huge games last year...
