1 - IMO

They are all pretty good pics but Everyday Shooter>Pac Man CE IMHO. I wish it was nominated.

Edit at Round Peg: Yeah it's just....It's Pac Man. You can't really go wrong and there's some good new stuff...but it's still pac man. ES was just the opposite: inventive. So inventive. And fun. ya know?

Also, who says Single PLayer games can't win?

I wish something other than a FPS would win once and a while, seems to be the US demographic, but still great none the less.

1.1 - So far Pac Man Championship has already won downloadable game award

X-Play and Gamasutra.

So it's not really that surprising that Pac Man won again.

What non FPS would you have rather seen?

I cant think of any non FPS that would have been better picks than the winners.

2 - Im sorry

I know this has nothing to do with anything, but Im still trying to figure out why Morgan Web was named most sexy by a couple of magazines.

That chick is sooo not sexy, she has a man jaw and man shoulders, she has the freakin body of a 15 year old boy!!! with a girls head! WTF!
I hate how the media is obsessed with the anorexic boy look in this country, I swear that is the only reason she won the title.

kind of surprised that God of War II got thrown under the bus.....probably the only game this year I have played through twice and I am still thinking about picking it up again....

Before I get the disagrees, I own a 360 and am not trying to take anything away from those that won, but Kratos should have gotten some love.

I would have still given Bioshock top dibs for game of the year also, but next year might be the year of the PS3<and reason for me to buy one>. Okay the disagrees may commence!

3.1 -

It seems like every gaming source completely forgot about God of War II, Odin's Sphere, Persona 3. I guess last gen doesn't count anymore.

Anyways, they should of called this "Best of 360 2007"

5 - PS3

will have a couple big games next year, so will 360, why does everyone keep saying 2008 will be the PS3s year? They may sell a few more consoles when MGS4 drops but that is certainly not going to change the course of the conflict between MS and Sony, no one or two games can do that, if one game could do it then that game would have been Halo3, and the would mean MS has already won this generation, but they have not.

8.1 - Not Really

I was glad when I watched to not see Halo 3 win anything not because it sucks but because it just wasnt as fun as other games out there like Call of Duty 4 which deserved the reward. The fact of the matter is that Halo 3 needed more maps when it launched and higher quality and larger maps, but i will say the new maps are fun. Also Maulers are a little over powered and used.

Nice find and overall, great choices for winners. I'd use BioShock for Sound instead of COD4. Also, Warhawk for DLC and Mass Effect for Story. Aside from them, the awards are rather perfect.
