DigitalBattle Best Of 2007 Awards, Part 3
The last part of our Best of 2007 awards, including our 2007 Game of The Year. Check out Part 1 and Part 2.
Best sequel: Call of Duty 4
The Call of Duty franchise took a big step this year shifting to modern time combat with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Despite the rather short single-player campaign, it still managed to deliver some of the most intense single player action of 2007, and coupled with a solid multiplayer element, Call of Duty 4 is the best in the series yet. Runner up: Halo 3.
Biggest surprise: Crackdown
Crackdown was mostly known for the Halo 3 beta it delivered, but besides that, it was quite an interesting game, and surprised a lot of people. Running around like a superhero in a huge city and destroying almost everything was huge fun for those wanting some GTA experience on their Xbox 360. Runner up: Lord of The Rings Online.
Most overhyped game: Halo 3
Microsoft spent millions upon millions of dollars marketing Halo 3, and you couldn’t turn your head without getting some Halo 3 in your face. Microsoft branded everything from sodas to merchandise to TV spots and magazine ads; it was the most promoted game in recent history. The let down was a fairly dull single-player campaign, dated visuals and horrible AI. However, the world-class multiplayer part made up for it all. Runner up: Crysis.
Most disappointing game: Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
The talented crew at IO Interactive had a wonderful premise with Kane & Lynch, leading to much anticipation, but the final result was a lot different: clunky steering, bad voice acting, ugly visuals, combined with the Gamespot disaster, gets Kane & Lynch the Most Disappointing game of 2007 award. Runner up: Medal of Honor Airborne.
Game of The Year 2007: BioShock
It doesn’t come as a surprise that BioShock is the game of the Year in 2007. In the midst of all the sequels and over hyped games, BioShock brought something new to the table, something wonderful and entertaining, something that hasn’t been seen in a long time, especially in the FPS genre. It is the best game of 2007, and should be played by everyone. Runner up: Super Mario Galaxy.
That’s all of the 2007 awards at DigitalBattle. We wish you a Happy New Year and we’ll see you in 2008. Cheers!
Most awards: Bioshock (4), Uncharted (2), Super Mario Galaxy (2).
Most runner ups: Call of Duty 4 (3)

Nice. im glad SMG didn’t get GOTY here since i don’t think it deserved it. links crossbow training was a much more fun game, and the multiplayer was great, unlike mario’s multiplayer which is sickening.

@ Shaka: Take you and your fanboy idiocracy out of here. DB doesn’t welcome that crap. That said, I think Mass Effect was the best game of the year. I guess it’s just a thing of preference.
