TNL's GotM: November 2007

[Super-Eggroll]

Yeah, I voted Mass Effect as well. Mainly because the only other game I've played on this list is COD4, which I would have picked had it implemented a campaign co-op and a cover system of some kind. Playing on Veteren mode will make you hate video gaming. The least they could've done was give us some smoke grenades for cover.

I'm liking Mass Effect so far. The voice-acting is top-notch, which does make the long stretches of chatting with the townspeople go by that much better.

I also thought about picking Super Mario Galaxy, based on the 10 minutes of it that I played at the E For All. Loved every second of it. It almost makes me want to buy a Wii.

Almost...

This is a ridiculous month, and lots of votes will be cast by people who haven't played most of the best games on that list, unfortunately. I've played everything there except Contra 4 and Rock Band. The top 3 in alphabetical order are Crysis, Mario Galaxy, and Uncharted. The only one of those three I couldn't put down was Uncharted, so it wins.

I haven't played enough of Mass Effect yet, or Mario Galaxy at all, so I will refrain for now. Rock Band is amazing but needs to get the glitches/faulty hardware sorted out.

Why the hell isn't CoD4 winning?

[Chux]

I've played everything but Contra and Uncharted. Could UT3 come out at a worse time? I usually pick that shit up like hotcakes but with Crysis and CoD4 being so damn good I don't want just another FPS.

Rock Band is the most fun I've had... when 3 other people are around, so that stip keeps me from giving it GOTM.

CoD4 is good again, but I only play it for MP.

Hellgate was a fucking joke.

Mass Effect is a lot of fun, I like it a lot.

SMG got my vote since I've been playing it the most.

seriously, i think this is probably one of the best months ever for releases in gaming history

5-6 of these games could be GOTY contenders, just insane

Ive gotta hold off on my vote until I can get some more play time in

It was between Mass Effect and Mario Galaxy for me. CoD4 is great, but despite the change of settings it doesn't feel as fresh as either of those 2 games. Mass Effect is an outstanding game, but the space "exploration" isn't nearly all it was built up to be. Having 1 of the same 3 buildings you land on is unacceptable, there is zero variety in it after the first few planets and because of that Mario Galaxy gets my vote.

Tough choice between COD4, Rock Band and Mass Effect. Since I haven't played ME, I went with COD4. RB is awesome but the peripherals are problematic.

[MechDeus]

I forget I own SMG until I post on TNL and other people mention it. Good game and all, but it ended just being the time waster I played in between Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect. Can't comment on Rock Band and probably won't be able until next year, I'd imagine it's multiplayer GOTM/GOTY but its price hurts me for now. Oh well.

As for Mass Effect, I put in 50 hours of play during a 72 hour time span. That kind of addiction seals its place as GOTY to me.

Mass Effect.
