Best Games of 2007

Well, It's that time of year again when everyone puts out their "Best Of" lists, so I figured I would do one of my own.

13. Skate: A true reinvention of the skating genre, Skate manages to capture the elements of skating that make the sport exciting.

12. Ace Combat 6: From both a graphical and technical standpoint, Ace Combat 6 is a fantastic game. Featuring some of the most photo-realistic plane models and landscapes, it is a joy to behold in high-definition. While more of an arcade game than a simulator, it delivers actions and a great sense of flying.

11.Guitar Hero 3: Guitar Hero continues to rock, and this time, a wireless guitar lets you shred without worry of yanking the cord out of your console.

10. Rock Band:

9. Assassin's Creed

8. Puzzle Quest (Xbox Live Arcade)

7. World In Conflict (PC)

6. Mass Effect (Xbox 360)

5. Halo 3 (Xbox 360)

4. Crysis (PC)

3. Half Life Orange Box (Xbox 360, PC)

2. Bioshock (Xbox 360, PC)

1. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
