Critics Name Best Video Games of 2007

by Tim Stevens on August 2, 2007 at 02:42 PM

Video Game Critics Awards Handed OutThe nominees were announced last week, and now we have the winners of the 2007 Game Critics Awards. These awards are handed out every year after the Electronics Entertainment Expo, or E3.

Taking home the Best Overall Game was 'Rock Band' from EA and Harmonix, the game that takes the addictive music game 'Guitar Hero' to the next level by offering a mic and drum kit. Taking Best Original Game was 'LittleBigPlanet' for the PS3 from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, a silly little rag-doll game that surprisingly could be the next big thing in online gaming. 'Mass Effect,' a luscious looking role-playing game from Bioware for the Xbox 360, took home best console game honors, while jungle-themed shooter 'Crysis' got the nod for best PC game.

Interestingly enough, according to a poll posted here, Switched readers didn't care for any of the above titles. As of this posting, in fact, 32 percent of you could care less about all of these games. Only 'Call of Duty 4' followed at 31 percent (which was given "Best Action Game" by the critics). We tend to agree!
