Best PS2
Game
Leonhart:
Winner: Tomb Raider
Anniversary
Usually remakes pale in comparison to
their originals, but Crystal Dynamics broke
that trend with Tomb Raider
Anniversary, a remake of the original
Tomb Raider in celebration of Lara
Croft's ten year birthday. Come to think of
it... Lara has filled out pretty well for a
ten year old. Anyway, Tomb Raider
Anniversary is the quintessential tomb
raidin' game and a huge step towards
returning Lara Croft to her throne as
gaming's greatest heroine.

Best 360
Game
Leonhart:
Winner: Mass Effect
It’s just that good… Mass Effect is not
only the best RPG of 2007, but the best game available
on 360. Any fan of RPGs (or games that are simply
entertaining) who owns a 360 should pick up Mass Effect.
Unless, of course, you think Halo 3 is the only 360 game
you need, in which case you are a lost cause.

Game
Leonhart:
Winner: Metroid Prime 3:
Corruption
My grandfather once said that women who
cover themselves leave more to a man’s imagination.
Samus Aran really, really covers herself, and let’s just
say that my imagination is working overtime and I love
it.

Best PS3
Game
Leonhart:
Winner: Uncharted: Drake’s
Fortune
Move over Indiana Jones; there is a new
explorer hunk in town! Uncharted - with its beautiful
environments and simple yet elegant control - follows
Drake, an adventurer with a heart for anything that is
gold and shiny. Although he isn’t as arousing to watch
as Lara Croft…

Best DS Game
Leonhart:
Winner: Pokemon
Diamond/Pearl
What’s a year without Pokemon? A year I
don’t want to live through, that‘s for sure. Pokemon
Diamond/Pearl is the latest game(s) in the long, long,
long-running Pokemon franchise, and brings along a
plethora of new Pokemon with just the right amount of
new elements to warrant a purchase and another Elite
Four butt-kickin’!
Runner Up: Sonic Rush Adventure
Dack:
Winner: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Zelda sure was fun. It wasn't exactly revolutionary for the series, but it's the same great Zelda forumla we've come to love with some cool new extras.

Best PSP
Game
Leonhart:
Winner: Silent Hill:
Origins
Originally planned for release alongside
the Silent Hill movie, Silent Hill: Origins is the
latest (yet earliest?) chapter in the Silent Hill
series. Keeping the series’ renowned atmosphere and
horror, Origins deserves the spotlight as Best PSP Game.
Those of you without a PSP can play Origins on PS2 later
this Spring.
Runner Up: Syphon Filter: Logan's
Shadow
Dack:
Winner: Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow
Syphon Filter is one great series. Instead of declining, Logan's Shadow proved to be one of the best games in the series. The soundtrack, story, graphics and gameplay are all near perfect. The great ending leaves you drooling for more.
