Game of the Year

The deliberations for the absolute best game of 2007 were easily among the most challenging and most argumentative award debates that the editorial staff has had thus far. 2007 was an absolutely incredible year for games of all genres and all platforms, particularly shooters, but there were also excellent music games, platformers, role-playing games, and strategy games. Even whittling down the list to only 10 finalists for this category wasn't easy--it was even tougher to come to the final decision for the highest honor GameSpot gives to any game each year. Find out which game took the number one spot, along with our 10 total finalists.
