The Gaming awards 2007


Based on the games I have played or read about this year, here’s my run down on what was hot and what wasn’t in 2007…

Most innovative gameSuper Paper Mario – for giving the series a kick up the arse, and offering some novel uses of the Wii’s control method.  Runner up:  Wii Sports

Biggest disappointmentHalo 3 – for being nothing that we haven’t seen in Halo 1, 2 or countless other games. 

Best Graphics / presentation -  Assassin’s Creed – for detail, animation and scope, despite gameplay being not so impressive.  Runner up:  Bioshock.

Biggest surpriseMass Effect being full of bugs – after numerous delays, this was unforgivable.

Hardware of the yearNintendo Wii – for generally being the most reliable and the most vital to its games.  Both PS3 and 360 listen up!

Worth the hypeSuper Mario Galaxy – with high scores across the board, Nintendo deliver yet again.

Deal of the yearThe Orange Box – 5 games for the price of 1, and all stunning examples of their art.

Console of the yearXBOX 360 – for delivering some of the best games on any sytem.

Pls feel free to post your comments.

    I agre that the PS3 is probably a fine piece of kit, what with its general capabilities and blu-ray playback functionality…but from what I hear many games that are also out on 360 fail to be as good, as far as frame-rates and general final quality is concerned – also the 360 has claimed many of the PS3′s former exclusives, such as Virtua Fighter, Virtua Tennis, Assassin’s Creed, Devil May Cy 4…and mark my words, its a matter of time until Solid Snake defects also – he did last gen.
