The winner is Call Of Duty 4.  Jeff and Ryan already said that was the game of the year back when Jeff was doing his blog and was building the awesomeness of Giant Bomb...

Good list, '07 was an outstanding year.  I'd say at least 5 of those are better than anything I've played this year.  Personally, I'd choose The Witcher.

Still think Halo 3 should probably have won the 2008 2007's Game of the Year. But, hey.

Even around Assassin's Creed 1, Ryan loved stabbing dudes. Presumably in the face and neck.

I shit on all these games the year the came out. Looking back, this was an amazing year in gaming and is what brought me back to console games (for the last time!). You can only replay half-life 1 so many times...

2007 will arguably go down in history as the greatest year for video games. So many new IP's that ended up shaping the generation.

2007 was the year everyone bought an Xbox 360.

I remember buying mine after Christmas and people were savage that Xbox Live actually went down, up to that point it had an impressive stability record. But I got Mass Effect with my system, so I was mostly indifferent.

Damn, 07 was an amazing year... Orange Box definitely belongs, but so does Persona. You should have knocked out Crackdown or Warioware instead.
