The Finest Moments in 2007 Gaming
Stephen Totilo, as he did last year and the year before, has put together a piece looking at the finest gaming moments to be had in 2007. From the high-jumps of Portal to the Colossus battle in God of War 2, he's got a lot of gaming goodness packed into this one article. My favorite moment (the end of Mass Effect) isn't on there, but this is a close second: "Late in the much-praised first-person shooter BioShock, the player is required to don the outfit of another character in the game. Saying much more about this moment would ruin the effect. But rest assured, this transformative sequence changes the way every character in the world reacts to the player's presence. Plus, it might just give a BioShock player some pause about what they had been doing for the dozen hours that preceded the moment. Saying anything more would be a spoiler."
I've felt that this has been a pretty crappy year for games, and if these are truly the best moments, my feeling has been correct.
Were there good games? Sure. But they seemed so few and far between. I even considered going back to WoW or GuildWars to relieve the boredom.
This is the point where someone points out how awesome Halo (or any other FPS was) and that I come back with 'I've done FPS a billion times.' There were only a few games this year that were just new levels for old ones. -yawn-

I've put 11 hours into that game, and then you write a summary like this. You've spoiled the game for me. You suck.
