Enjoy a spine tingling story that takes you on one of the most amazing journeys in Jerusalem, and ranking the 6th best Game on MyMedia for 2007.

3rd Runner-up

Bioshock (360)

By far one of the most revolutionary games not on just the 360, but gaming in general. The 2nd best game of 2007 that appears on the Xbox 360 alone Bioshock set the standards for gaming not only now, but in the future.

Based in around the time of the 1940's, the game not only has an awesome soundtrack and sound effects, amazing visuals and graphcis, but some of the best gameplay and most atmospheric games out there. With twists and turns you are sure never to regret buying a game ranked this high.

2nd Runner-up

Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)

The main launch title behind the Nintendo Wii and it's launch, jumping in at our 1st Runner up and the top 5 games on MyMedia of 2007, the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on Wii is not only the latest and most modern part of the Zelda franchise, but also one of the best.

You play as a character known as Link, and follow his journey to discovering the problem with the strange Twilight that is trying to take over Hyrule (your home land). Go on a quest of puzzles and Action as you slice with the wii-remote to attack your enemies, and uncover one of the best stories, in one of the best Gaming Franchises ever made.

1st Runner-up

Winners of the MyMedia Game of the Year Awards

Halo 3 (360)

What would have to be the most well-known and most advertised gaming franchise on the Xbox360, almost considered a crime not to own one of these games, especially the latest; Halo 3, the best 360 game on MyMedia of 2007, Making 3rd Place in the overall MyMedia Game of the Year Awards.

This is a game with a fairly good singleplayer, but the real magic truly lies in the multiplayer. Co-op, Online, Local play, everything. You will find any multiplayer futuristic experience you have ever looked for right here in Halo 3.

One of the most amazing multiplayer experiences you will ever have, whether it be with friends and family, or strangers you've never met around the world!

3rd Place

Call of Duty 4 (360, PS3, DS)

Sometimes all people need are shooters, and what better shooter to make then one based in our world? Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the answer. Appearing on every platform except the Nintendo Wii it takes video game shooters to the next level.

The most intense battle of your life. Being a well paced story that doesn't get too ahead of itself nor become boring you will find your self at one stage using the cover of night to sniper enemies, then being out in the open at the middle of the day taking on full armies.

As far as games go they don't get much better then this. If you are looking for a great FPS this year and have one of the new-gen consoles, this is a great choice.

2nd Place

Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

There has never been a way to quite describe how amazing it is to play a Super Mario game, and Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii still gives that feeling. Better then the Gamecube Mario, it comes close to being equal to that of the Nintendo 64 game which took the world by storm.

Fly through space in 3 Dimensional Worlds on Spherical planets and solving puzzles. Fly through the cosmos and look at it's beauty.

Taking full advantage of the Wii's power, giving amazing graphics, control, Unbelievable Music, and some of the best, if not the Gameplay in the entire gaming enterprise, we are glad to give Super Mario Galaxy our MyMedia Award for Game of the Year, 2007.

1st Place

Concluding

Congratulations to all our Winners, Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
