Aggregate reviews' best and worst games of 2006

import street tuner was the worst game for 360.....how can a next gen game be worst than its original which debut on DC....

Am I the only one who thinks Oblivion is one of the most overrated games? It wasnt bad,but it wasnt anything GREAT.

I expected Company of Heroes #1 PC.

not that the Wii had a plethora of great titles out (not that any new generation does), but it does have the best, and the least worse...

Thank you Frankie for that great observation. We all know the all important 1 point seperates the "o.k." games from the greats...keep coming with the good points.

Are they saying that GT Pro series is better without the wheel? Or that when played without the wheel, it's not actually the worst game?

Zelda is game of the year!!! :)

Utopia City was a worse PC game than Bad Day L.A.? I find that a bit hard to believe.

Is Bomberman Act Zero all that bad? Totemball SHOULD have had the distinction of being the worst Xbox 360 game released this year. It was free, and even then was almost unplayable. Although calling it a game is being generous. It was more of a tech demo with awful control. I'm really shocked TB was released at all.

I hadn't even realized GT Pro had come out. Guess I'll stop looking forward to it.

Agreed with Totemball being the worst 360 game, although the pricetag of "free" gets it off the hook I guess.

[i]"not that the Wii had a plethora of great titles out (not that any new generation does)"[/i]

The 360 has a lot of great games out now. Oblivion, Dead Rising, Saints Row, GoW, Rainbow Six Vegas, GRAW, Viva Pinata, plus the best versions of the multiplatform sports games like Fight Night 3 and NBA 2k7. Lost Planet and Blue Dragon look to be high quality as well.

The field is not even - Microsoft has a year head start, and it's beginning to show. Whether or not that year catches up with them and they start to look outdated around 2009 remains to be seen. I kind of doubt it, due to Sony's hardware being more "delayed" than "new" and Nintendo's being nothing earth-shattering to begin with. That said, Nintendo's may have the longest legs in the end if developers nail down how to use the remote in clever ways. We'll see.

No OTAM, you're not the only one. Morrowind is a much better game, in my opinion, due to its more stylized appearance. Oblivion sits right near the bottom of the uncanny valley, and it just creeps me out.

And they neutered theiving. You can't break into anything, even in the middle of the night with no one around, without a guard coming up behind you in 1 minute or less to arrest you.

@4 The reason Bomberman deserves being the worst is because of all the money is the cost and the francise involved being trashed.

As far as Oblivion being good or great, you have to think of the depth of gameplay and options provided. That and the size of the world are pretty damn impressive if you ask me.

Whats really sad is that PS3 has only had one really good game released still.

GT Pro Series got the lowest Wii ranking?? ....hmmmm, I've been enjoying that game like crazy (and I guess that makes me crazy, too) ... so I suppose I should just go out and buy the rest of the Wii library, too?

...sorry, fellow gamers, but I've never been one for reviews... 2006 has probably been the best year for games (all platforms) since the mid 90s. *shrug*

PS, you can play Zelda on a $50 GameCube.

What about PS2, PSP and DS?
