I've disabled account creation to try to limit spam. Anyway, I agree with your revised assessment. I've been getting a lot out of Halo3 and look forward to some Virtua Fighter 5 when I get back. CoD4 didn't really appeal to me. I didn't even really get into the single player game. I find the pacing frustrating and the use of Saddam-alikes with red berets and moustaches somewhat vile. yeah, there’s an edit button if you have an account.

CoD4 didn’t really appeal to me. I didn’t even really get into the single player game. I find the pacing frustrating and the use of Saddam-alikes with red berets and moustaches somewhat vile.

When I posted my list, I hadn't played COD4 MP in quite some time. I've been playing a bit more Halo 3 MP lately. I jumped into a COD4 MP game a couple days ago, and I have to say that the COD4 MP really just isn't very good. In comparison to Halo 3, COD4 MP is way too chaotic, and it seems very difficult to team up with one or more folks and play together as you die so often without even seeing who kills you, and then you spawn way too far from the folks you were trying to team up with. Having said that, I still LOVED the SP campaign of COD4, I just wish it was longer. I'm creating my own edit button and revising my list: Bioshock is my game of the year. Followed by: Orange Box Halo 3 COD4 Honorable mentions: Forza 2 PGR4 Now I have to go play some more Rock Band with my kids, damn it's fun! I wish there was an edit button.

Bioshock is my game of the year. Followed by:
Orange Box
Halo 3
COD4

Honorable mentions:
Forza 2
PGR4

Now I have to go play some more Rock Band with my kids, damn it’s fun!

If I hadn't already played HL2 on the PC this would have gotten my top vote) Halo 3 (Somewhat done that before SP, begrudgingly enjoyable but not groundbreaking MP, simply the best MP lobby system in the game world regardless of system, including PC.)
