Fine, the second coming of Jesus. Assuming Pong was the first coming.



Why? Spore's not an RTS...

Don't just add random games, I'll be going to check the PS3 list to make sure. Sonic failed on 360 and PS3, Fire Emblem barely gave any information and FFCC:TCB is a long title.


Here's the fact, only the "S" counts. It's a strategy game where you're god. Speaks itself.

Army of Two (X360, PS3)

What about Super Smash Bros. Brawl?

I believe it's listed already, check the first post.

Secret rings is like a Wii exclusive so yeah, the PS3 and 360 ones are different than the Wii one.

ADDITION:
Heres a two Wii games with information from EGM. Dragon Quest Swords and Pokemon Battle Revolution.

I hope it's MGS4 or Halo 3, but I'm going to put my money on Spore.

In that case, I'm betting on Spore. I was going to tell you to put it on the list but it looks like you already did that after I posted.

Spore might be a huge flop, if it's not designed properly. And already I would really prefer it less cartoony. But if Maxis can make a good interface and enough depth to the game (and so far they've been doing pretty well with their other games), I think it will be a masterpiece.

Not really. You can't very easily be God if you're playing only one creature! The God part is really only at the end, during the UFO stage.

Where's all the Wii games?
Other: Super Smash Bros Brawl

Well, Brawl is already up there. Its in the first post in other, but why is theres mostly 360 games and some PS3 and barely like one Wii game?

Mortal Kombat Armaggedon deserves to be on any 2007 best games list.

Cuz barely any good games are comin out that are sequels to older games?

It does seem sort of biased against Wii in the fact that Wii isn't there at all to be honest.

I have never heard of spore, or seen it -- explain it please?

Super Smash Bros Brawl for the win!! (except wario, he looks horrible in this game)

Halo 3, and WoWBc is a success.
BioShock looks ok, it's just an odd storyline in my opinion.
Spore I've seen, but don't know much about. I'll look into it. You guys seem to say it's going to be a good game.

Halo 3 will most likely be one of the best games. or world of warcraft will also be up there also.

Its kinda obvious Halo 3 will have a chance because that is 360s chance to diss on the PS3 games. Brawl has a chance too. I agree with Shocko about being bias towards the Wii.

I say Mass Effect. Straight up AMAZING! And its made by a company in my home town (Yay!) Either Spore or Halo 3 would be my next picks, but I think Mass Effect is going to be purely orgasmic.

Secret Rings sounds awfully the same as Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, but hopefully it does a better job... but seriously though.


Spore may be a flop if EA rushed it, and I only knew Spore from GameInformer magazine and it reminds me of Sims and Zerg combined... really with aliens mating, etc. I don't know much about that game though.


I'll find some.


Finally, somebody actually choosing Mass Effect. I admit, that game is at least definently getting a 9.


It's because the Xbox 360 was released in 2005, causing early developments in two years going for 2007. And Xbox 360 supports DVD which makes it a lot easier since it's similar to PC. You can see how most Xbox 360 games listed up are also ported to PC.
The Wii and the PS3 was just released two months ago and barely spoiled the games of 2007, except montages. And as for the Wii, no game company said it would be easy to develop for the Wii.


That game is on current-gen consoles and released on 2006. Sorry.


EDIT:
I'm going to add some videos, screenshots and information each and every game listed up here this week, incase anybody changes their minds.

Not up there but i'd say legend of zelda twilight princess on my gamecube. That or Rainbow Six Vegas

Aren't they released in 2006?

Im not sure about the Legend of Zelda gamecube version.

It was released on 12/11, which was my girlfriend's birthday.

Halo 3 is going to be the game of '07! Halo 2 was the only reason that I bought the reg. Xbox and halo will be the only reason that I buy the 360

Well, you know what, from everything I've heard about the gamecube and the wii, they don't even sound all that good. I mean, technical specifications, okay, but I've never heard of any game on either of them that didn't sound sucky.

Spore is a new game being developed by Will Wright (if you haven't heard of him, he's the guy who made the Sim games, like SimEarth and SimCity 2000 and The Sims and so on). It was first shown in its earlier stages at E3 2005. To put it simply, Spore is SimEverything. In fact, its original name was going to be SimEverything, but the working title was Spore and then they decided that was such a good name they were going to put it on the final product as well.

Spore is basically about the evolution and development of a life form, pretty much from start to finish. It is divided into six 'stages', each one at a different stage of development in your life form's history and each one (except for the last one) modeled after a different one of some of Will Wright's favorite games. The stages are:
- The tidepool stage (Pacman), in which you play a microscopic organism that has to run around a tide pool and eat up algae. After evolving a few times, it can become capable of eating other animals in the tide pool and be more resistant to attacks by larger animals. Eventually you evolve enough to reach the next stage.
- The evolution stage (Diablo), where the environment becomes three-dimensional. The goal is pretty similar, basically you're trying to find food, avoid predators and eventually mate to pass on your genes to the next generation- after which you become a baby creature of the next generation and go through the cycle again, at a higher stage of evolution (so you get more claws/eyes/tentacles/whatever on your creature). During this stage you are also able to move out onto land and do the same sorts of things there. Eventually you evolve intelligence and go on to the next stage.
- The tribal stage (Populous), in which you command not one creature but a whole primitive tribe of your creatures. You are able to give them various objects, such as tools, huts, etc. The idea is to get them to multiply and thrive, by doing things like hunting for wild game, building their village bigger, trading with other nearby tribes, etc. Of course, depending on what kind of creature you had in the earlier stages, your tribe will appear and operate differently. Eventually you develop your technology enough to move on to the next stage.
- The city stage (SimCity), in which you have an entire developed city of your creatures. You build more buildings and infrastructure, and try to keep all your people working together to expand and improve your city. Eventually your city gets big enough that you move on to the next stage.
- The civilization stage (Civilization), in which you have to expand and build other cities out from your city. You also have to conquer computer cities by culturally or economically assimilating them, or by forcefully subjugating them. To communicate with other cities, you primarily use various vehicles. The idea is to expand until you have conquered your entire planet (yes, it's a lot smaller than real planet compared to the cities and the life forms), at which point your entire civilization can devote its resources to technological development and allow you to move on to the final stage.
- The space stage (no particular game). Here you have developed an advanced spaceship known as a UFO. You pilot it in a sort of RPG/flight sim style. And yes, you can now leave your home planet and fly out into the rest of your solar system. This stage is primarily designed as a sort of God mode sandbox tool, however the designers have put some goals into it. Primarily, the idea is to fly around through space on these sort of quests to find powerups that will improve your UFO. Among various other tools, your UFO can be equipped with an FTL drive, which will allow you to exit your home solar system and fly all around the entire galaxy. The galaxy has approximately 500000 stars, each with its own planets, each with their own alien environments, many with their own life forms, and many life forms with their own technological civilizations for you to meet- and abduct, trade with or make war upon as you (and they) choose. You are also able to gain credits for improving your spaceship by building colonies on other planets. Also, among other weapons, your UFO will eventually become equipped with a sort of stellar converter-like device, which allows you to blow up planets when you want.

Not enough? The entire game is rendered by what's called procedural generation; that is to say, the computer takes a very small amount of information and generates a very complex and dynamic object from it, including all the ways in which the object would (or wouldn't) work. The game also lets you choose, every step of the way, how you develop your species; each stage has its own associated editor, which is almost as powerful as your standard 3D art program. You can make whatever you want in the editors, and the computer will figure out how that thing would work when placed in the game world alongside other objects. You want a centipede with 17 legs, or a snake with no legs at all? Not a problem. Apparently you can even choose not to go out on land during the evolution stage, and instead build your cities underwater. The editors are, respectively, the 2D creature editor, the 3D creature editor, the hut editor, the building editor, the vehicle editor and finally all the editors (the UFO will eventually get access to all the previous editors, as well as a plant editor which may not be available earlier in the game, and of course the UFO editor which allows you to customize the look, and to some extent the performance, of your UFO).

Still not enough? The game is what Will Wright calls 'massive singleplayer'. Every creature, building, vehicle, whatever you create is sent out through the Internet to the spore servers, for other people's computers to download in order to populate their worlds. In the meantime, every single creature, plant, enemy architecture style and alien civilization you meet was at some time designed by some other Spore player out there. And no, it doesn't seem there will be any monthly fee associated with this.

If you want to learn more about Spore, you can visit the official website, watch videos such as this, this, this or this, or [shameless advertising]play the Spore map I recently submitted to SEN.[/shameless advertising]

It just seems the most appealing to me. And since there are a major lack of Space RPG's (especially open ones) this one has to be good.

Space games arent as popular to the general public. Maybe to a small majority crew
