    Exactly how is Rock Band innovative? It's multiplayer Guitar Hero with drums, and a mic.

  3. Call of Duty 4 by framauro13 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A shame CoD4 was left out of the writing nominations. It had the most immersive storyline of them all.

    Personally I think it was the best FPS released this year, and definitely the best out of the entire franchise, and that's not even taking into account the amazing multiplayer mode. I'd definitely opt for this game over BioShock in a heartbeat, and I loved BioShock.
