TIME names top ten games of 2007 photo

This list ought to cause some waves in the internets. TIME has complied their top ten games of the year, in numerical order, which will certainly but subject to a great deal of disagreement, flame war and general crap slinging. Esteemed publication or not, calling Halo 3 the best game of the year is sure to win some major ire, especially from fans who favor more unique offerings.

Well, enough speculation on the possible fury of the masses. Here's the list:

1. Halo 3
2. The Orange Box
3. Rock Band
4. Super Mario Galaxy
5. BioShock
6. Call of Duty 4
7. Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
8. Mass Effect
9. Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation
10. God of War 2

I can't disagree with too much on there, with the exception of the two titles on the list I haven't played, but I can say if the list in indeed in order of quality, BioShock resting at number 5 is a damnable sin.

This is why I have a subscription to TIME Magazine. This is a solid list, even by hardcore gamer standards.

*re-reads list; notices Halo 3 at top, Ace Combat 6 at #9*

I’m canceling that shit immediately.

This list is alright. Would have like to see Crysis, but oh well.

Huh? What happened in 2001? Are you implying that Time perpetrated the attacks on the World Trade Center?

I'm not feeling the list. The most fun I've had this year (haven't played the orange box yet) is with SMG so I gotta put that further up than any of the other games.

1. BioShock
2. The Orange Box
3. Super Mario Galaxy
4. Mass Effect
5. Halo 3

Haven't played CoD4 but it's probably better than Halo from what I've heard.

1. Ring
2. Ring
3. Ring
4. Ring
5. Ring
6. Ring
7. Ring
8. BANANAPHONE
9. Do
10. Doodle oddle ooh!

but what is with you idiots and Bioshock so high? 5 max, and Mass Effect should be lower too just because off all the dam gameplay bugs.

Also, I only played 7 of the 10 games on that list, so I cant really say too much.

Quick question...Is the Orange Box really A game? It's like, 5 games in one...Are they saying that Episode 2 is better than bioshock, or that Portal is, or that the two combined is better...I don't know how you can have a group of games as one entry.

That list is pretty spot-on, except I'd put CoD 4 higher and include Crackdown and Puzzle Quest somewhere. Probably get rid of Battle Ace and God of War.

all your lists suck hard.
It's obvious that the true list should be :

1. Ace Combat 6
2. Ace Combat 6
3. Ace Combat 6
The rest don't matter, who are you to say that the time doens't know any better than you?
