That sucks, COD 4 FTW.

bioshock was a great game,
cod4 was good but bio shock wins as it brought something differnt to the table.
story was great, gameplay was great, graphics were great...what else can you ask for?

I would say:
Bioshock
Hl2 ep2
world in conflict
cod4
gears of war
crysis

I don't know I like Bioshock it was not half bad when running at max settings . Like the DX10 option on it as well. It was a rather different game then I am normally used to though so for it to keep me intersterd after the first two or three hours makes a good game in my book. Thnk cod4 might have been a good choice for game of ther year though.

crysis wasnt a disappointment, i don't think i've seen many people say it was a bad game, that is easily one of my favorite games.. you jsut need to keep playing it

and bioshock, i played the demo and it was pretty fun...

cod4.. meh i'll pass, single player really sucks bad
