Innovation in Gaming: "Rock Band."
At first I was annoyed at the Wii being ignored here, but there wasn't anything unbeliveably innovative during 2007. Lots of stuff that debuted in 2006, and lots coming in 2008, but less in 2007.
The jury is still out on Wii Fit, and the Yanks probably won't count it before it's released on their little island anyway. =P
Adventure Game: "Super Mario Galaxy."
Adventure game?
Yahtzee really hit the nail when he said just about every game these days that doesn't completely fit into a pre-set stereotype gets pegged into "action adventure" or something equally vague. I can understand it with a lot of stuff, but Galaxy is the purest example of a platformer in at least 5 years.
Btw, "cellular game" refers to games on cell phones, right?
btwbtw StarcraftManiac: I hear it sold many times more on the PC than consoles. SSJ12 knows more than me about this stuff, and I remember him saying he's sure it sold twice as much as Halo 3. Probably a bit high, but don't underestimate Steam.
