By an Amazon.com customer
Super Mario GalaxySuper Mario Galaxy
Buy new: $49.99 / Used from: $32.26
Our one word review for the new Mario: Wow! The new standard in platformers, the best game on the Wii hands down, and maybe the best Nintendo game of all time. If you don't own a Wii yet, this is the reason to buy one.
The Orange BoxThe Orange Box
Buy new: $29.99 / Used from: $22.98
The Orange Box is loaded with phenomenal games - Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Portal - and each game by itself is amazing. Portal itself is one of the most innovative games in years.
BioShockBioShock
Buy new: $37.99 / Used from: $23.90
A tremendous first person shooter experience with a great storyline, amazing graphics, creepy little girls, and one of the best baddies - "Big Daddy" - in years.
The Legend of Zelda:  Phantom HourglassThe Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Buy new: $34.99 / Used from: $21.00
The best game to date on the Nintendo DS, Phantom Hourglass makes great use of the stylus, has a terrific storyline, and provides action/adventure everyone should enjoy.
Rock Band Special Edition Xbox 360Rock Band Special Edition Xbox 360
Buy new: $149.99 / Used from: $127.99
The comparisons to Guitar Hero are natural, but the guitar and game play have a smoother feel in Rock Band. Plus, the song list is extra strong thanks to MTV's involvement. But most of all: DRUMS!
God of War 2God of War 2
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $11.99
2007 was a year of many great games and lots of focus on next generation consoles. Somehow along the way, GOW2 got a bit overlooked. It's an amazing game that builds upon and goes beyond the original. A must for gamers who can tolerate heavy violence, it's one of best PS2 games of all time.
Call of Duty 4: Modern WarfareCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Buy used from: $36.00
The fourth installment of COD is simply amazing and by far the best game of the series. The graphics are stunning and the gameplay is near-perfect for a first person shooter.
CrysisCrysis
Buy new: $38.99 / Used from: $34.95
This game is a powerhouse. Graphically, this is simply the best game on earth. A great game for those who have the PC power to run it.
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of DestructionRatchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Buy new: $59.99 / Used from: $35.93
It's like playing through a Pixar movie. The graphics are amazing and the game play is a blast. For PS3 owners this is a must own game.
Halo 3Halo 3
Buy new: $59.99 / Used from: $29.48
Certainly no game received more press during the year...and deservedly so. The third installment continues the Halo tradition of providing gamers a great first person shooter experience. If you're an online junkie, Halo 3 is a no brainer buy.
