GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Tuesday, Jan 15, 2008
These are the top ten games I played in 2007. (Comments will be appreciated). I'm late, but **** it:

10. Mario Vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis (DS) - The first game had a lot of levels, but didn't provide much of a challenge, yet was still a lot of fun. This game was much the same in that aspect (albeit a bit longer). It wasn't about the difficulty, it was about having fun. This puzzle game kept me entertained as long as it lasted. One of the biggest improvements over its predecessor was the addition of a level editor where you could create and trade levels with other people online, which meant you could keep playing this game for a very long time.

9. Super Mario World (SNES) - This game proved to be one of Mario's best adventures. There were tons of levels, many of which contained secrets to go back and look for. This game may forever be one of the best side-scrolling platformers ever created.

8. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) - One of the most iconic games of its time, LttP was not only a big game in terms of length, but also in terms of structure and gameplay.

7. The Warriors (PS2) - An impressive beat-em-up that didn't feel repetitive. There was always something to do other than just beat the crap out of other gang members (although that was great too). The sound was excellent, the voice acting was top notch, and the gameplay was just plain fun.

6. Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga (GBA) - This game was a fun role-playing game that contained humor, colorful graphics, and charming music. There was a lot to do outside of the main quest, so this was no short game by any means.

5. Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) - This melancholy game was eerie and dreamy at the same time. It provided an intense feeling that was just as grand as the Colossi found in the game.

4. God of War II (PS2) - This game didn't mess with the first game's formula much. In reality, it was more of the same. But after playing the first GoW, isn't that what we all really wanted?

3. God of War (PS2) - Graphics that pushed the PS2 to its limits, an epic soundtrack, and all the right action adventure elements came together to create one of the greatest adventures seen on the system.

2. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS) - A lengthy hand-held adventure that took full advantage of every aspect of the DS hardware. It was a Zelda game through and through, and the new control scheme provided a fresh experience in addition to the time-tested Zelda formula.

1. Okami (PS2) - The most artistic graphics I've ever seen on any system and a beautiful sountrack were just the icing on the cake for this lengthy, story-driven adventure. It was hard to find a game that even came close to this in 2007. Okami was also full of great writing. The story kept going, so this game wasn't over fast. As big as the quest was, the environments were even bigger. This game had large locales to explore and there was not a dull moment to be found.

True, but it's kind of odd to post a blog based on 2007 when we're already halfway through the first month of 2008.

If you haven't played Okami, then you definitely should. You basically play as a wolf and you have to go through ancient Japan and explore a lot of areas and dungeons. It's similar to the Legend of Zelda, actually.
