Awards are given out each year for video games by most news outlets across the world, some we look forward to, and others we could really care less about.
We listed the games we thought stood out from the pack in 2007 not long ago, but what about the opinions of those who make them?

Hmm, these do look like they are simply the most popular, as oppose to the best. Still, it’s good to see C&C3 getting some love.
