Best year for gaming ever without a doubt. I mean, holy shit, look at that list! How many games up there are now considered to be classics?

2007 was an amazing year.
Halo 3 was top for me, closely followed by:
CoD4, Portal, and Super Mario Galaxy. Warhawk gets a special mention, too.

If feels a bit unfair to include The Orange Box as it consists of five great games- two from previous years and three which are listed here individually. If it was excluded my first choice would be Mario Galaxy. Although I played neither of these in 2007. If I was restricted to games I played that year it would definitely be Okami. (The European PS2 release was in 2007)

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Crackdown
Mass Effect
Project Gotham Racing 4
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 (only played FES and Portable, perhaps shouldn't count?
Can't include Rock Band because of the delay in Europe but that certainly would have been a contender.
What a crazy year.

Persona 3 for me.
Really close second and third from Super Paper Mario and Ace Attorney 3.

I'd have to say Bioshock, but Halo 3 was my most played and is definitely a very close favorite as well. So many hours in just custom games alone. Those were the good old days of Halo. When you could go on your recent players list and find any random playing custom games and join freely and they'd have no problem with it. The more the merrier. As I said, the good old days.
Mass Effect, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SoC, TES IV: Oblivion, and The Witcher being other favorites of that year.

Halo 3 is something that wouldn't be my favorite now, but man was it consuming my online time in 2007 along with Rock Band.
Funny Halo 3 story:
My manager (at the time) and I were playing online with a bunch of his friends, including this guy from the UK, all in party chat. It had been MONTHS since I had played Halo 3, so I was sucking wind, and his British friend was a smartass. We go into a 2v2v2v2 game, and the two of us get paired up.
So we're playing, I'm getting killed a lot, but he's kicking ass. At some point, we're split up, I'm searching for weapons, and I hear him shouting, "Shit, I'm being double-teamed!"
So I went, "Don't worry! I'm coming!"
And he goes, "Oh? Oh, you're coming? Well don't I feel so much better now that you're coming to save me?"
Never was owned like that before and I haven't been owned as badly since. xD~~

Bioshock
One of my top 10 GOAT

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl for sure. I imported Diamond form JP and beat it without understanding a word, frequenting forums for where to go next. I then played through US Pearl and sunk hundreds and hundreds of hours into team building and breeding and the underground.
Best game since Gold/Silver and only usurped by HeartGold/SoulSilver. I still haven't played Platinum though.
I would say Modern Warfare too, but I bought it that holiday before I even bought a 360 so I didn't play it until mid 2008.

I dont think I played anything else then WoW:tbc during that year. My high school years was all about wow, skateboard and movies.

Mass Effect probably. Man, that game was so huge back then. Still crazy what Bioware created from scratch here.

Stupidly hard to choose, probably one of Portal, Team Fortress 2 (although I'd argue that it didn't really reach its peak as a thing until a few years later, around when it went F2P), HL2 Ep. 2 (also it's insane that all three of these were released in one $60 package) or Bioshock. I love Mass Effect, Crysis, Modern Warfare and Stalker as well. The best year for first person shooters ever?

I thought Persona 3 was a 2006 game (maybe it was in Japan).
I think the best games I played that year were Persona 3, Bioshock and Halo 3. Blue Dragon was fun too.
Now that I think about it, 2007 was the year I started to take Japanese private lessons, half a year later I'd enroll to a Japanese language school.

World of Warcraft: the Burning Crusades. So much fun playing with friends. I'd say Halo 3, but I was really disappointed in the game after playing so much Halo 1 and 2. Still played a ton of Halo 3 regardless, but WoW was easily my favorite of 2007. And barf on Mario Galaxy. What an abomination.

I barely played anything that year. I guess the Witcher. It was at least the most memorable.

Tie between CoD4, Mass Effect, and Halo 3.
Runner up was The Orange Box.
2007 was one of the best years for gaming in recent memory.

Rogue Galaxy was 2007? Huh.. I thought it was much earlier, but wikipedia says 2007 for EU. Interesting. Didn't finish it due to a save bug, but that's probably my pick then. Loved Blue Dragon too, but I can't remember when I played it.

Galaxy or Bioshock, but there were a lot of great games.
I don't remember whether it was 2007 (I backlogged it, played it in february 2010), but it was a really good game.

Halo 3, and to a lesser extent, Mass Effect and Pokemon. I don't think I'll really ever like another shooter to the extent that I liked Halo 3, tbh.

Mass Effect (edit: just a smidge over Halo 3)
