    Well, after this cock-up, lets hope you have the common sense to have Burnout Paradise on the look-forward-to-list.

    See if you can pull it back.

    Not really a massive fan of EA's racers. I prefer Burnout series to Need for Speed, but I could take or leave them. Have to say though, I only played Burnout Revenge single player, never did play it online - which is perhaps why I'm not as excited about it as you are. Remember it's impossible for me to play every game, though I do get through a hell of a lot.

    Burnout Paradise looks like its taking a step in the wrong direction anyway. I don't like racing games without lobbies. I hate being chucked straight into the action. Burnout Paradise will be a persistent gameworld, a free-roaming world - where you challenge people by flashing your lights. Doesn't sound all that great.

    ... Yeah, I hate it when my favourite video games are not included on top 10 lists too.

    lol, I know what you mean I get annoyed to. I'm not aiming to annoy! I promise. As soon as I launch Great games for 2008 I'm going into hiding for the afternoon.

    Re: Feature :: The best videogames of 2007

    Its just a bit random, thats all.

    Bioshock gets in why? Because it looks great? Certainly looks better than Halo. But Halo has one of the most complete multiplayer packages ever. The most complete probably. But Bioshock gets in because its a bit better looking?

    I suppose I'm saying you should be able to recognise that Halo should be on the list even if you personally didn't like it. Thats the difference between being a gaming writer, and someone who is jotting his opinions down.

    In a years time, thousands upon thousands of people will be playing Halo3, in a living, breathing, heaving world of team slayering, trash talking, bullet dodging fun. Many other games released this year be doing the same?

    But hey, Lego Star Wars was one of the gaming highlights of 2007, Halo3 wasn't. Who am I to argue.

    Re: Feature :: The best videogames of 2007

    there's a world of difference between a single-player and multi-player game - directly comparing bioshock and halo purely on graphical merit does them both a disservice.

    i see online deathmatch games as akin to going to the pub with mates. sure, you can have a few laughs on occasion, but it's ultimately not going to leave you with any sense of accomplishment, nothing learnt or no horizons expanded. compared with, say, going and watching a good play or movie.

    now, if you want to objectively make that comparison, does bioshock deserve to be listed and halo 3 not? hmm, tricky. it's already an enormously subjective business is game journalism, and if a given game doesn't have any "spark" for you, there's really nowhere to go other than guessing at "people want to see this in a list". do i think bioshock is in the year's top ten? yeah, probably, but i only tend to rate one or two games a year as genuine classics, and bioshock isn't one of them (portal is my pick for the year, everything else is really just playing catch-up)

    Hex, you are usually an island of common sense in a vast ocean of gaming n00bs, but this just isn't true.

    Its a different sort of satisfaction from finishing a good RPG, or whatever, but playing against other people, and beating them, is, or at least can be, much more rewarding, fun, and intense than defeating the AI in whatever game.

    I have no idea why you'd think online multiplayer deathmatch games wouldn't give you accomplishment, etc, but I'd suggest the vast majority of people disagree. After all, online gaming is very popular, as are FPS games, as are deathmatches, as is Halo3.

    I had a sense of accomplishment when I reached Captain rank on Halo. Or got my first killing frenzy. I've learnt a lot since my first n00b fumblings, usually from getting a good hiding from better players. You can expand your horizions in more ways than one playing online. Both from learning the subtle differences between a good player and a great player as you progress, and from talking to, playing against, beating and being beaten by, real people.

    So in short, what you said was pig swill. And third rate pig swill at that. With worms floating in it. Worms with poo on them. Old poo. Thats gone moldy.

    i've spent years with online gaming. i just can't find it exciting. fun, even exhilarating on the rare occasions i don't totally suck balls, but i like some motivation in my games. motivation beyond "kill them before they kill you, in the same arena you've been on a hundred times". it's something to do when mates are around, but not something i'd actively seek out

    in the end, i think i just prefer games with a story
