I think most places don't want to do a serious analysis of Brawl because so many people would get mad when they actually flat out state how cheap Pit and Samus are and how Link borders in that catagorey as well.

Good list. I can only see one problem. The shame of having these listed as games you spent time playing.

I think God of War 2 has some of the best, if not the best, cutscenes that I have ever seen in ANY game, not just a last gen game. The prerendered cut scenes are goregoues. KH2 did a superb job with theirs and the effects were incredible, FFXII did an excellent job as well, not as good as KH IMO and even Shadow of the Colossus was great to look at, but the art direction helped that game out as well. The graphics for all of those games were incredible and Shadow probably had the best in game graphics, but I just don't think anything stacks up to God of War. I would point out an earlier scene, but it may spoil too much, so I'll just say this. I was blown away when they showed a full screen face shot of Kratos and I was actually able to see a fully detalied and moving human, on a PS2. It was truly amazing.

These games are probably practically done. WHy don't they release them in early April, this date is so far away.

All right I can let a few of the WTF's go by, but Gamespot seriously has to be on drugs if they don't put MGS4 up there. I mean Burnout 5 over MGS 4, let's be real with it. Crackdown, a completely unproven franchise over GTA 4? GoW 2, even though it looks awesome and I'll definitly be getting it, and even if it's anywhere near as great as the first one I'll be happy, but picking that over MGS 4? COME ON! I don't even have a PS3, probably won't be getting one for a year or more, and MGS 4 is my most anticipated game of '07. Can't wait for SSBB though, and I only wish my PC would be able to run Spore because it looks incredible.
