But i still voted for it, even though i havent tried it i know enough about it to know it has to be one of the best games ever made. |

| | | Drunkside,
please do not vote for games you haven't played, your vote is being removed.

The game is getting tonnes of credit from the industry. Its only real challenger being The Witcher. Plus there is no way I'll be getting an Xbox just to play ME. If they convert it to the PC, then I'd jump at the first opportunity.

| | | I've played 5 of the games listed in the poll and I voted in MoTB. Although nwn2 was a disaster concerning bugs, MoTB was a GREAT addition to the original nwn2.
Some says that MoTB was more like a "nwn 2.5" than a expansion =p |

| | | I voted The Witcher, with MotB as a runner-up. For me, The Witcher simply was the most original thing to come out in 2007, the universe truly got me immersed, and, as of patch 1.2, it is a well-polished game. |

| | | I voted for Immortal Throne. Despite being an action RPG, its simple story was presented very well and the world felt very much "alive", more so than most "real" RPGs of the moment.
Also, the game felt solid, meaning that there were almost no bugs and it played decently on my old system, which is a plus for the game's engine.
The addition of the Dream Mastery opened lots of new options and was an original approach.
IT (and TQ) is one of those hidden gems: on first sight, it looks a bit shallow and done-to-death, but if you play a bit, you see how well-thought-out and designed most things are.
All-in-all, TQ and IT should at least have gotten a high-eighties, low nineties score, when you realise that Oblivion and Bioshock got raving nineties. |

| | | I voted titan quest because it has the most replay value and hence the most entertainment for my money. It is like a well designed card game that you can play over and over. Rather than a movie that you see only once.
I have been playing tons of hours since August 2006 and I haven't even tried out over half the classes. There are 8 + 7 + 6 +5 +4 +3 + 2 + 1 = 36 classes!
Honorable mention is the witcher I think exploring the first chapter and seeing all the videos whipped me into a sense of wonder that I rarely experience. But once the newness wore off it got kind of tedious for me.

I don't think that approach can work for games with such deep storylines as MotB.

Don't rush out and buy games based solely on impulse and rave reviews. Still, we are voting for the best RPG of 2007 here, so I didn't think playing a demo can justify one's vote. No offense intended.

If I did listen to reviewers, I'd be sitting here praising WoW, not MotB.
As long as the game isn't tainted (EA, I'm looking at you!) I'd consider it just by looking on the back of the cover.
