Whew!  Back from a wonderful (if tiring) week at the beach with Elise & the boys.  It was quite fun to just relax, play some DS, and let my mind wander while listening to the crash of waves. 

As 2007 starts to wind down of course one has to do the traditional "best of" lists... this is almost an impossible task with the quality & quantity of games this year.  But here are my picks (by platform).

PC: Civ 4 Beyond the Sword
(runners up: The Witcher, WoW Burning Crusade, Quake Wars)

PS3: Ratchet & Clank TOD
(runners up: Super Stardust HD, Uncharted)

Wii: Super Mario Galaxy
(runners up: Metroid Prime 3, Mario Party 8)

360: Bioshock
(runners up: Crackdown, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Stuntman: Ignition)

Handheld: Zelda Phantom Hourglass DS
(runners up: Disgaea PSP, Jeanne d'Arc PSP, Picross DS)

Multiplatform: The Orange Box
(runners up: Rock Band, Call of Duty 4)

Anyways, Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you get lots of good loot and have a wonderful time celebrating with your families.
