Famitsu's Top 25 Games for 2007

[T3kNi9e]

People only seem fussed over the scores from one Japanese mag: Famitsu. And while they're not the most reliable barometer for a title's quality (for long-running franchises like Final Fantasy, you can forget about a fanbase-annoying score), it's still somewhat interesting seeing how they felt 2007's games shaped up. After the jump are the 25 games with the highest scores, and before you jump, know this: four editors review the games and score them out of 10, with the listed score being the total out of a possible 40. Try not to let the number of 360 games SHOCK YOU.

1. Phantom Hourglass - 39
2. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (360 version) - 38
3. Super Mario Galaxy - 38
4. GTA San Andreas (PS2) - 38
5. Call of Duty 4 (360) - 37
6. Call of Duty 4 (PS3) - 37
7. Minna no Golf Portable 2 (PSP) - 37
8. God of War 2 (PS2) - 37
9. Halo 3 - 37
10. World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008 (PS3) 36
11. World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008 (360) 36
12. Kousoku Card Battle: Card Hero (DS) - 36

Ten 360 games. Out of 25. Ten. Go on, count 'em. It's so bananas I'm going to go get a banana, have a lie down and have a good hard think over what it all means.

It truly is a shock to see 10 of the 25 been 360 games in a Japanese mag.

It's pretty weird how they don't just put the multiplatform games as one game. Glad to see that Oblivion was one of them, an awesome RPG and of course SMG made the top 3. Great list IMO.

 

[Budo]

Wow, I really didn't expect that many 360 games to be there.

 

[SensesFail]

bad list imo..

I guess they didn't like Bioshock Thats seen as one of the best games of all time.

For a sec I didn't know wtf tow was lol.

Yea, but atleast it got on the list and at a very high place, I never played phantomhour glass yet (i will sooner or later... But I did thoroughly enjoy Oblivion ALOT, it's one of my favorite games of all time. But Bioshock didn't place anywhere rofl...

People say Famitsu's scores are very erratic because they're never consistant. Some games that you would expect to get good scores because everyone scores them high, Famitsu may score it very low or vice versa.

Anyway apparently Famitsu did review Bioshock (after doing some research) and scored a 37/40 - 10/9/9/9 (4 different reviewers). But I also don't know how true this is.

bad list- san an didnt come out 2k7, did it??

and what the difrence beetwen ps3 and 360, pathetic!!

 

[T3kNi9e]

Maybe it came out in Japan at 2k7.

 

[GigaRidley]

Meh... some of those Xbox games are good, I don't blame them for putting them on the list.
I find it sad MP: Corruption isn't there though.

Is Phantom Hourglass really that good? I doubt it's the best game of 2007, it hasn't been nominated for best anywhere else.
