Wow I think the only game that released in 2007 that I actually played that year was Pokémon Pearl. Quite a few of those games in the OP I'm sill planning on picking up tbh
Mass Effect is my pick, it's firmly in my top 5 favourites of all-time

It's very, very hard to pick only one game but I'm going to have to give it to my all-time favorite game, Halo 3. Mass Effect is a very close second, however. I've put more hours into each of those games than pretty much anything else that came out that year combined.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn or Jeanne D'arc. I really love SRPGs

Rock Band followed by Mario Galaxy and then the Orange Box. I'm surprised that nobody else has said Rock Band.

Easily S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
The definition of a flawed masterpiece. For me the other two games didn't hit the same highs as this one. I don't think any other shooter has done horror segments as well as this game, and there's a real beauty to the ruined environments. A very special game.
I said come in, don't stand there!

Also, that menu music was haunting.

God of War 2 came out at the same year as Bioshock 1. Huh. My brain had separated them out for launching on different gen consoles.
Dittoing Mass Effect and Bioshock, and Halo 3.

Don't even need to mull over this one. Super Mario Galaxy is, without question, one of the greatest games ever made and one of my favorite games I've ever played. Incredible 3D platformer that set a bar that few (non-Mario) games in its genre have reached, let alone surpassed.

5 Persona 3: In spite of how bland the dungeon crawling can be (especially at the start), the brilliant storytelling and atmosphere still make it one of the best JRPGs ever.
4 Halo 3: This is the game that console shooters should strive to be. A really fun game on all fronts.
3 Portal: I prefer 2, and most of the humor has been ruined because of memes, but it is still an exceptionally elegantly designed puzzle game.
2 Team Fortress 2: Used to be a 10/10, but the game has gotten worse over the years. Still maybe the best online shooter.
1 Super Mario Galaxy: Absolute masterpiece. I would argue it is surpassed by Galaxy 2, but it is still one of the greatest games ever made.

i love how the giant maps get naturally divided into open but directed combat stages as the attacking team makes progress
it has a great compromise between teamwork and individual skill
it is well-balanced by providing freedom to wander constrained by the urgency of the mission

I haven't played the Ace Attorney sequels yet, but seeing how much I'm enjoying playing through the first one makes me think those are going to be on this list pretty soon.

I really did enjoy the sequels and Apollo Justice, though I haven't played the 3DS ones as I don't own one yet. Each one has a final case that's out of this world.
This is actually way too hard to pick.
But man seeing that Forza 2 screenshot brought back memories.
The game was ugly as sin but it was such a brilliant sim-lite racer, it was accessible yet could go pretty deep with it's tuning options. I feel the Motorsport games have really lost their focus since that game, I still enjoy them though for different reasons.

I think I was still balls deep into dota in 2007 but I kept playing ps2 games here and there.
If 2007 games played in different years is included then I think I liked and was blown away by Bioshock and Uncharted. I played them in 2010 when I first got my ps3.

Orange Box, Galaxy and Prime 3 for me that year.
There's not a whole lot that stood out to me that year, others would say The Orange Box but honestly I was too underwhelmed by Half Life 2 to ever get into the epsiodes.
I guess I would have to say Earth Defense Force. It comes down to that or Crackdown, Crackdown was pretty fun but it was broken in some pretty insane ways. So I'll say EDF.
EDF! EDF!

Not a great year for my taste

God of War 2 by far.
But if I had played Persona 3 back then, it would be Persona 3.
So a tie between both of these games for me.
God of War 2, the absolutely best game in the series and some of the best memories of my gaming life. And Persona 3, the game that made me a fan of the Persona series to the point that my most antecipated game this year is Persona 5 by a long shot.
