Alrighty peeps, 2007 is officially over.
Let's reflect with a little community activity...
What are YOUR Game of the Year picks for 2007?
Post the titles YOU feel deserve the honor of being named Game of the Year!
---> Rules (well, kind of): Games have to have been released to the public between the dates of January 1st, 2007 and December 31st, 2007.
---> Try to name GOTY's for as many portables/consoles possible!
MY PICKS...
Nintendo DS - GAME OF THE YEAR: The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass
Playing through this one really brought back a lot of memories. I'm a huge sucker for the classic portable Zelda titles (Link's Awakening, Oracle twins) and the jump to 3D was easier than I had imagined. At first I was a bit skeptical that the semi-3D aspect/view paired with the stylus-dominated controls would ruin the portable Zelda's perfect streak. Thankfully, I was proven wrong. The stylus controls actually made for a whole new handheld Zelda experience, yet I still felt nostalgically-charged while trekking through PH's oh-so-pretty dungeons (and yay for scribbly map notes
).
Nintendo DS - RUNNER UP: Hotel Dusk: Room 215
God damn, I loved Hotel Dusk so fucking much. So much good stuff to say about it... the art, the music, the storyline, it was all so perfect. Dusk keep me reading for hours... and I loved it. This one was soooo close behind PH...
Games I Loved That Didn't Make The Cut:
Lunar Knights (DS)
Pokemon Diamond (DS)
Phoenix Wright 2: Justice for All (DS)
Phoenix Wright 3: Trials and Tribulations (DS)
Contra IV (DS)
Geometry Wars: Galaxies (DS)
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (DS)
and a buttload more, I'm sleepy...
Now that I think back... I didn't really spend enough time on any other platforms other than the DS to make any more informed GOTY picks... that's bad.
But yeah, post up some Wii, 360, PS2/3, PSP, PC titles too...!
