The guys over at Shack News have posted up their 2007 Game of the Year awards. Take a look:
Be sure to see the other winners here.
"It is probably not presumptuous to predict that 2007, like 1998, will go down in gaming history as a watershed year for the medium. It saw some of the best, freshest, and most ambitious titles to be released in recent memory, with great games spanning all genres and platforms. It would be difficult to love games and not have had some great experiences in 2007; by the same token, it is difficult to pick winners in such a competitive year.
But pick them we must, for that is apparently the way of game journalism, and we begun the daunting process of doing so in the final months of the year. Some decisions were easier than we expected, some considerably more difficult, but we are satisfied with our final picks. You may not be, and we expect to hear about it in the comments. Stay tuned for the Shackers' Choice Awards--until then, sit back and read the Shack staff's own Game of the Year Awards 2007.
-By Chris Remo, Nick Breckon, Chris Faylor, Carlos Bergfeld, Steve Gibson, and Maarten Goldstein."
