I personally believe that Halo 3 should be GOTY. Now theres a lot of people who are saying that COD4 and other games are better. In my opinion, COD4 is the only game that has a chance of running against Halo 3, and I still think Halo 3 is better. If you think about it COD4 is just a polished version of any ol' COD game, nothing extremely special to it. There just isn't anything that would automatically make it GOTY. Now with Halo 3 you get a whole mess of features. First Halo 3 finishes the fight with a conclusion to it's epic story which fans have awaited since the ending to Halo 2. But in Halo 3, you are not forced to finish the fight by yourself, or with your friend. Now, you can finish the fight with up to 3 other friends via xbox live or system link. Still, campaign doesn't stop there, if you and your friend are have an argument over who is better at campaign, you can turn on campaign scoring to actually find out, and tweek how campaign plays with skulls.Then, of course, you have Halo 3's amazing online multiplayer, with its multiple maps and gametypes, the multiplayer never becomes old. Even still, Bungie continues to make new maps for multiplayer so that the game is everchanging. Also, to make multiplayer even better, you can now not only customize your Spartans colors and emblem, but his armor too. Next you have Forge. Forge is virtually basic modding software which used to be illegal and is now encouraged. This gives players the ability to change a map until they get it exactly how they like it. Then you have Saved Films so that everything you do is recorded so there is no more of listening to your friend BS about how they took down a whole team with one grenede. Not only can you view the film in complete 3D, you can also take pictures and save videos from your game, and upload them to your Bnet account along with your map variants and gametypes. Now if you didn't like Halo 3's campaign, surely all of the other features are enough to make up for it. You can't really argue with all of this logic. Honestly Halo 3 is really the only option when it comes to Game of the Year. Now I know that Bioshock wone GOTY on spike, but we'll see the real winner when G-phoria rolls around. Spike is more of a popularity contest.

I am 100%, completely, fully, no ifs ands or buts, in agreement with stimulated. Halo 3 doesn't deserve to be in the running, much less win.

Exactly. Great game, I love to play it... but it is no where near GOTY this year... maybe in 06 it would have been... WAY too many heavy hitters this year.

Oh and also...

WAL O' TEXT!!!!

Don't send me group invites.

A very good polished COD game is worse than a badly "polished" Halo game?

No, I think it shouldn't. It should be between the following:

Super Mario Galaxy
Call of Duty 4
Rock Band

I'd go with CoD 4 though.

Most certainly not.

I would give it to either Call of Duty 4 for reinventing itself in the multiplayer aspect, or to Rock Band for the pure invention that it is.

I understand you all, and stimulated is right, 2007 had a whole lot of heavy hitters, but all I'm saying is, when you think about all of the things Halo 3 gives you its really amazing what you can do in a game. Halo 3 has a great multiplayer, campaign, eh, so so. I'm not a big campaign guy though, so for me, a game with a good multiplayer and good customizability is really all I want.

No, I'm not a fan boy, The 360 does have my favorite games on it though... but out of all the games that came out on the PS3... Warhawk as GOTY???

It's a good game, I guess... but it is NOT GOTY material.

Every time I look at my member title, all I can think is, "-blam!-, I'm old..."

Halo 3 does NOT deserve GOTY, in my opinion. Let's see a list of reasons why...
Poor controls in Forge (I mean, they work, and I love Forge a ton, but seriously... sometime's they're weird)
Objects randomly disappearing in Forge
Horrible Melee
Overpowered AR
Saved Films doesen't work right over XBox Live (But this might just be me and my friend)
Glitched Commando Shoulders
Short campaign (I was done with it the Friday after Sept. 25th on co-op [ON HEROIC], and a couple days later done with it in single player [AGAIN, on HEROIC. I expect MUCH more of a challenge on Heroic than that.])


Halo 3 is a good game, don't get me wrong, but it in no way deserves to be GOTY. GOTY is more deserving for ANY of these games:
Mass Effect
Rock Band
CoD4
BioShock
Super Mario Galaxy

I am a Floodian

No, hell, I don't think there should even be a game of the year award this year. Every genre of gaming got some of the best games it has ever seen this year.

FPS:
Halo 3
CoD4
Orange Box
Bioshock
Crysis
Metroid

TPS:
Crackdown
Drakes Fortune
Ratchet and Clank

RPG:
Mass Effect

Stealth(I seperate this genre):
Assassin's Creed

Platforming:
Super Mario Galaxy

Far too many games to say that any deserve to be called "the best." At this point, it is completely opinion and personal preferences. Heck, even the downloadable content has been amazing this year.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

It should be either Mass Effect or Orange Box. Hell, I'd even be happy if CoD4 or Super Mario Galaxy won it. Don't get me wrong, I love Halo. But there was something in Halo 3 that made me say "ok, I'm done" and I never looked back. It was probably the horrible maps and Melee system.

Now don't even go saying that Mass Effect should get GOTY, waaayyy too glitchy. Its a good game, and could get GOTY, but its almost like it wasn't finished. I've been in the middle of firefights and got stuck in scenery and couldn't get out. Definitley not even an option for GOTY. COD4 had a good campaign, not great multiplayer though. Orange box is good, but I don't like to buy games that I already have.

Every time you noob combo god kills a kitten. Please, think of the kittens.

Go Rockets!!!

Yao Ming is back!!!

It's a toss up for me between Halo 3, COD4, and Rock Band, and possibly Beautiful Katamari. (LOL, JK)

ok
for everyone whining about the melee system think about it...
when y ou want to kill someone
do you stand in one place and punch them?
or do you take some steps to gather power then beat the -blam!- out of them?
