2007 Game Critics Awards Winners

Take-Two Interactive’s BioShock for Xbox 360 has been named the 2007 Game of the Year by a group of video game journalists who put out the annual Game Critics Awards. ”BioShock truly shocked, amazed, and pushed all sorts of boundaries for gaming. And while we felt it was 2007’s best title, we’re betting its influence will extend well beyond 2007,” said EGM editor in chief Dan Hsu. My two fave games of the year, God of War II and Assassin’s Creed, both made the top ten list:

1. BioShock (Take-Two)

2. The Orange Box (Valve and Electronic Arts)

3. Call of Duty 4 (Activision)

4. Rock Band (MTV and EA)

5. Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo)

6. Halo 3 (Microsoft)

7. Mass Effect (Microsoft)

8. God of War II (Sony)

9. Assassin’s Creed (Ubisoft)

10. Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (Sony)
