GamePro Editors' Choice *2007*

GamePro names the overall best games and accomplisments of 2007...no easy task, considering the quality and quantity of games released in the second half of the year. Many of the following categories had the GamePro editors so conflicted that the winner was decided by a single vote!

[Xbox is the BEST]

Pro Sony site giving the Xbox 360 console of the year. Wonder if this news will ever get approved?

[socomnick]

If your a contributer you should approve it because its news regardless if you like it or not it is still newsworthy.

Bioshock sweeps

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Yup :-)

Bioware gets a pat on the back for one of the most underwhelming games ever? Yes, Mass Effect is a great Shooter with RPG parts. But Developer of the year should go to someone like Infinity Ward, or even 2kgames. These developers have proven that they KNOW how to develop. Not just that they lucked out with a game that only sold 700k copies. Not saying that its NOT a lot of copies, but no where near COD4. JUST for the 360.

Bioware cant program worth a damn. Anyone who has played Mass Effect can agree with this. What the hell is with all of the crappy "next gen options." I have a 360, not a F`ing PC. You are supposed to program the game to run optimally on the system. Not chug it down with all the "options" What the hell? Same with epic ant UT3 for the ps3.. WHY IS THERE A BLOOM button?! Bloom does not equal NEXT GEN.

Last year we didn't see buggy crapfests winning GOTY. I'm afraid that this crap is going to start a great trend, where developers know they dont have to give 100%. People will still buy the 60 dollar title. Why put in the extra work to get STREAMING LOADING working and not loading textures or jogging slow framerates.

Last Year we had:
Gears of War
Splinter Cell
Resistance
Zelda

Blah blah blah blah the list goes on.

Its not Gamepros fault, the media has won this gaming year. I'm sorry Mass Effects "flawed yet good" success story is BS in this "NEXT GEN PUSHING THE ENVELOPE" environment.

360 Kicked the PS3's ass this year. Since everyone was expecting the PS3 to dominate. No question about it.

2008 will be a better year for gamers, hopefully Developers get serious in the face of games like Uncharted/COD4.And Sony will get serious about its lineup. If not, people are just making games just to sell them to people. There is no more art/vision involved, and we are all just part of the stupid big blockbuster world to where Spiderman 3, the worlds worst movie in the world.. Breaks records.

I enjoyed console gaming for a while, but it seems the PC is where the real games will be. If anyone still makes them for PC anymore, since its not the most profitable form of gaming anymore.

God Remember Battlefield2? Americas Army? Operation Flashpoint? WOW? Starcraft? Counterstrike? hell PREY?!? I didnt' care sale one of how well EA did, they just made a really good f`ing game.

If crap products get accepted, you new gamers can keep it. Its only going to get worse. Ass Creed & Mass Effect are just the start.

Stop crying for one day in your life. So it wasn't the year of Sony, f**king get over it and stop b**ching.

[FirstknighT]

Blah blah blah.....Waaa Waaaa Waaa!

Enuff already.

Rockband got a couple of awards and a few runner-ups, that's always good to see.

CoD4's in it's rightful place, and its good to see motorstorm getting some credit too. Nomention of FF12 on PS2? Wait, when did that come out? oh well...

[killer_trap]

360 had one of the most amazing years in software. both quality and quantity. keep it up microsoft.

[FirstknighT]

Great list! Glad to see that my beloved Halo 3 got its respect it deserves with Best Multiplayer. Not COD4, and definitely not warhawk.

The 360 is on fiiiiiiiiiiire!

[MK_Red]

While I do believe that COD4 is a GOTY worthy, I believe either of BioShock or Mass Effect.
Glad to see BioWare win the best dev. Well deserved. The huge universe they created for this game along with lot's of characters with superb voices and dialogue trees for all is nothing short of groundbreaking.
The best dev should indeed go to either BioWare or Infinity Ward.

Overall a good list though I don't think Mario Strikers deserved the best sports title award.

[green]

great list.though i believe that Forza motorsport should have been a runner up for racing if not won(but cant say since i have not played Motorstorm).Well deserved positions for the rest of them.

[FCOLitsjustagame]

Good list.
Best story though, I dont know. I liked the Bioshock story but I am a big scifi fan and Mass Effect had a story that really engaged me. Bioshock I have only played once (though I guess I should go back and play it again). Mass Effect is the first game since COD2 that I went to the trouble to get all 1000 achievement points on (requiring me to play the game mulitple times...doesnt have multiplayer though so that helps, I never bother with those achievements...and no timed missions like the two on COD4).

[nevelo07]

that a game like uncharted dosent get noticed cause its on ps3 and all the media hype to going for the 360 right now, whenever a ps3 game has problems like mass effect does it gets crucified, its all about the hype nowadays and not the gaming, i enjoy 360 and ps3 but dang they act like the 360 is the greatest thing ever, its just a mid-range speced pc, oh yeah why no one ever mentions the rrod problems, its really funny how that goes ignored.
