Put your video game awards here, they are personal opinion!
Favorite game you played of 2007 - Assassin's creed - Creed was exactly what I thought it was going to be, not a game where it is dominated by the combat, or had amazing combat. It was a game in which you ran around jumping from building to building doing crazy things and constantly climbing up things you would never be able to interact with in any other game. The environment and graphics were amazing and the story was good too. The combat wasn't as bad as people say, yes you use one button to attack primarily, but the countering/attacking while having up to 30 guys after you at one time can be pretty cool, not to mention the animations when you kill someone with your short blade and it has blood spraying out.
Runner up - Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition
Biggest disappointment of 2007 - Madden 2008 - I was excited to get this as was every other football fan, the game sucked! It seemed like if you were moving and throwing you would miss your target by up to 10 yards some times. I had passes go through my players bodies into DB's and other dumb things happen constantly, I traded this game in within a week of owning it, I hated it.
Runner up - Halo 3 online especially.
Biggest surprise of 2007 - Resident Evil 4 Wii edition - This game was the only game (besides Creed) where I got lost in playing it. What I mean by that is I would sit down and then look at the clock and it would be 3 hours later and it felt like I had only just begun. I have never been into the killing zombies or anything like that, but I won poker and said what the hell and went to get it, then found out it was $30 (Hell yeah) I ended up playing the hell out of the game until I beat it. The story is great and the difficulty the first time through is just right, not to mention the extras are awesome too (The Hand cannon kicks ass)
Runner up - COD4 - Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm surprised that the game was going to be good, I was surprised at how much better it was than any online shooter I've played in a while. Not just that, they went from WW2 type of fighting to modern warfare and did an excellent job.
Game you haven't played but are dying to play - Blue Dragon - I am a huge fan of RPG's especially the JRPG's like Final Fantasy. Blue Dragon is from the original creators of Final Fantasy and everyone I know that has played it loves it. I usually listen to Gamespot and other reviews, but Gameinformer gave it a 9 out of 10 and a buddy of mine said it's amazing. I love the turn based fighting and I just can't wait to get to it.
Runner up - Mass Effect - I have played an hour and a half but that hardly constitutes as playing a game. It was an awesome first hour and a half and I can't wait until I get the chance to play through it.
Best Graphics of 2007 - Bioshock - I have hardly played this at all, I just bought it finally, but the graphics are so life like it is ridiculous. The water and fire effects after the plane crash are just amazing and I have yet to see a game that has such good graphics.
Runners up - Assassins Creed/Crysis - Creed gets the nod because of how sweet the environment looks and how they kind of blur and have other things going on when certain things happen. Crysis wins just because it's that damn good... Too bad its on my downstairs computer, I'm too lazy to go down there and play it :(
Best game of 2007 - Super Mario Galaxy - Look, I have only played a little bit and that was last night, but Super Mario Galaxy is everything it's hyped up to be... It uses the Wii remote perfectly and the graphics are awesome. They aren't blow your mind awesome, but the lighting and environments are colorful especially on a HDTV. It is everything everyone has wanted since Super Mario 64, although better. I have so many damn games to play and I really want to play an RPG so I am putting off playing this, but the overall opinion of everyone is what I base this award off of, that and the fact that I have gotten to test it out a bit, its awesome.
Runner up - Call of Duty 4 - Any other year this game would probably win for me, I haven't played enough of it, but I did play online and I lost myself in it, as I have explained what that means... I didn't want to put it down, but it was like 4 in the morning, sleep is essential.
Runner up - World of Warcraft the Burning Crusade - Look, I have grown tired of WoW to be honest, but when was the last time an expansion for an MMO kept the game just as popular or more popular than the original release? I don't remember to be honest... The game is good, but it requires too much time.
Games you're most looking forward to in 2008 - Jesus where to start... Super Smash Bro's Brawl, Star Wars Forced Unleashed, FINAL FANTASY 7 CRYSIS CORE, Lost Odyssey (Another RPG created from the original creators of Final Fantasy, looks AMAZING), Final Fantasy 13 (If the game ever comes out.) Those are the games I am looking forward to most, I have 2 of them pre-ordered and one reserved... I hope they all kick ass... 2008 has potential to be one of the best years in a long while for the video game industry, the PS3 has a year under it's belt, the 360 continues to put out solid titles, and the Wii keeps on selling like crazy and has Brawl, thats all it needs.
Game you want to be announced that is in development in 2008 - Final Fantasy 7 remake for the PS3... Just do it already dammit.
If anyone else has any ideas for awards feel free to add them, its time for me to play some Blue Dragon, peace!
