This year is 10 years since these games came out. Can you believe that these games are a decade old?

I turned 8 years old in 2007 and these games give me a nostalgia rush. I was old enough to play most of them but I didn't care, lol. 2007 was one of the best years of my life.

This was the year I became a semi-gamer since I began playing them less although I still play games today. Yeah, I can't believe those games are now a decade old. They definitely still seem recent. In fact, I played MW4 again last year for a second and it didn't look that dated at all although some of the elements were.

It's COD4 not MW4, lol. MW4 doesn't exist....there's only 3 Modern Warfare games.

However, I understand what you're saying. Most of these games still hold up today but all in all...2007 was an amazing year for video games.

Uncharted and Super Mario Galaxy are two of my favorite games of all time.

The thing with 2007 for me is that, as an old timer who grew up playing 8 bit and 16 bit platformers, this was around the time that I started to get less interested about gaming due to the surge of FPS games. I don't say that at all to take away from 2007, which is right there with 2001 and 2004 as the best overall '00s year for games, it's just that most of the games that came out this year weren't really my thing. Uncharted and Super Mario Galaxy automatically make it a top 10 gaming year for me, though.

Fair enough. I like 98% of the games on this list.

I loved Guitar Hero and Rock Band. I remember my older brother was making fun of me because the only song I knew how to decently play on Guitar Hero was "Slow Ride"  :P

Super Mario Galaxy is one of my favorite games of all time.


Same here! I could go on a long essay about it! What it brought brand new into the Mario universe at the time! The dreamy vibe of so many different galaxies! The speed run/sudden death comet levels. It was the 3D Mario game that appealed to both 2D fans and 3D fans.

ROSALINA BITCHES!

I enjoyed her origin though.

Video games are horrible and do nothing but breed the type of jerks who sexually fetishize lesbians.

Honestly without this year, I wouldn't really be into video games. You had games like Guitar Hero III, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, the first Rock Band, and many others. It was also the year when I was introduced with Mario and Sonic, where I was hooked on both of those characters. Although, I didn't play a Mario game until a year after since I didn't get the Wii until the summer of 2008.

As a person who's a PC gamer, I personally don't think that in the first place. For one, I don't think all gamers are simply perverted men who want to create Rule 34 porn of their favorite characters. That's actually frowned upon by the gaming community, since they didn't play games just to jack off to female heroes/characters.

2006 was the year that made me a committed gamer but 2007 just made it even better. Can't believe it's been a decade now...damn.

I know that you're a lesbian, but your comment makes absolutely no sense. Even GTA doesn't have lesbian action. Hardly any M-rated video games do. And why can't heterosexual men sexually fetishize lesbians? Why does that make them jerks? Do explain... By your crazy logic, you think heterosexual women who sexually fetishize gays are jerks too? ;D

To me, 2007 is the absolute peak year of 7th gen gaming. By that point, 6th gen consoles had receded enough from the scene that the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii were all unquestionably the biggest consoles. Also, games like Uncharted, Super Mario Galaxy, Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 were arguably the most important games of their generation.

To me, the years that I think are the peak of each generation are:

1st gen: 1974
2nd gen: 1980
3rd gen: 1987
4th gen: 1994
5th gen: 1998
6th gen: 2004
7th gen: 2007
8th gen: Not sure yet

I agree with your assessment of 2007 in video games and being the peak of the 7th generation of video games.

Here's my take (only two changes from yours):

1st gen: 1974
2nd gen: 1980
3rd gen: 1991
4th gen: 1994
5th gen: 1998
6th gen: 2004
7th gen: 2007
8th gen: 2017 (this year seems like it's going to be the peak of the 8th gen)
