Such a great year, Warhawk. So many other games are close but I spent soooo much time on warhawk.

Persona 3. It served as my entryway into both Persona and Shin Megami Tensei which are now some of my favorite series. Beyond that, I adored how the gameplay was handled-- I loved the combat and fusion system in particular. Past the gameplay I grew very attached to the cast, art, and soundtrack. Very influential game for me and, even if it's not my favorite of the series, it's still an amazing experience and I really, really enjoyed my time with it. Great revival of the series and it brought some much needed attention to it here in the West.
After that, I'd probably go with Team Fortress 2. I spent countless hours playing it online and made some very close friends through it.

Persona 3 basically saved my love of video games at a time where I felt like my interest in them was on a hard decline. Still my 2nd favorite game of all time and easily made the Persona series my favorite game series in no time and introduced me to the whole collection of games under the SMT umbrella which are mostly pretty phenomenal.
Also honorable mention for Ace Attorney 3 because that still remains the series best title.

Super Mario Galaxy.
Then Mass Effect.
2007 was such a great year though, easily one of the best in history. So many amazing games.

1. Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
2. Super Stardust HD
3. Bioshock
Well, since the first is a bundle of three games this is the real list:
1. Rondo of Blood Remake
2. Super Stardust HD
3. Rondo of Blood
4. Symphony of the Night PSP-Version
5. Bioshock

Super Mario Galaxy I DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE LIST
Team Fortress 2 is also up there. I would say Diamond and Pearl, but Pokemon games are weird since until XY they always came out in a different year from the Japanese release. So when looking back on the game, I'm a bit conflicted on whether to use the US or Japanese release date in terms of ranking. Xenoblade could be GotY for three different years.

That list is something else, I never realized how many great games came out that year.
The games that had the biggest impact on my are probably STALKER and Burning Crusade. I think Burning Crusade is the most essential expansion to that game. It feels like it had more content than the original game.

Halo 3 easily.
It was a spectacular year and I remember many of it's titles fondly but aside from just the ludicrous number of hours I put in the final game(2 solid years where it was basically the only title I'd keep coming back to for MP), the game was important in my social life as well.
It sparked a lot of new friendships for myself with friends that I'm still friends with(many who don't even play games anymore). Also like 80% of my friends list on XBL is basically people who played Halo 3 with me at one point.

It's a toss up between Portal and Oblivion/Shivering Isles for me. CoD4 was a blast, as was Bioshock.

Man that was a weird year for me as a gamer. I didn't want to spend the money on a PS3, and I didn't get a 360 at that time. I still had my PS2, and bought a Wii. I guess it was God of War 2, which i really loved, but wow.
If I had a 360 at that time I'm sure Mass Effect would have been the game of the year for me.

If the localization of Ace Attorney 3 counts, but it originally came out I'm gunna put my vote on Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Excellent scope and strategy with a great story on the back of greater characters. The last Fire Emblem game with good characters and the only one to portray homosexuality respectfully(only in the localized version, they cut a mean stereotype). And when people say the first LBGT lead of a AAA game is going to be Ellie they're 10 years late.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion !!!
Since someone already necro'ed, 2007 wasn't that great.
*The Witcher (Still recall the trailer/intro. Who knew how big it would become!)
*S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (Had been waiting it for years, after seeing -that- trailer)
*Crysis (with a mod to disable the HUD. The way it should be played)
*Mass Effect (great moments, tons of potential, but also lots of issues)
*Portal
Wasn't fan of Jade Empire.
Bioshock not only had several boring moments, the lack of relevance on the harvesting-or-not killed the interest for me - and then that ending..
Half-Life 2: Episode Two was better than Episode 1, but still didn't personally like it that much (some nice set pieces. Found the "death" scene pretty hilarious, for some reason).
Just kidding, what an awful sequel.

At the time, I'd have to say that Super Mario Galaxy was probably my favorite game to release that year. Some of these I didn't get to play until later on for some reason or another -- possibly because I didn't have much income for myself or didn't spend money wisely, but I think part of it may have been that games weren't quite so large in my life at the time (film is and remains my biggest passion).
Looking back from now... probably still Super Mario Galaxy. But I have a huge fondness for Rock Band, Half-Life 2 Episode 2, Portal, Super Paper Mario, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Some of these I ought to revisit (MP3 especially), and others I've yet to touch at all. What a fucking year, though.

It's not a popular answer, but mine is...
God I love me some Radiant Dawn. It's the only game in existence that I know of that places you in a scenario where you fight the protagonist of the game in a serious confrontation of life and death, and then switches back to you controlling the protagonist to fight the team of characters you previously controlled, and so on, so forth. That feeling is indescribable.
