2007 will be remembered as the year next-generation gaming came into its own. A veritable avalanche of quality software kept the Xbox 360 in stiff competition with Nintendo’s upstart Wii, which is still in great part riding on the mammoth mindshare of Wii Sports.

Last year, our top 10 list was dominated by the swan songs of PlayStation 2. This year, next-gen platforms finally started to get games of similar polish and quality.

Wired’s panel of gaming experts — Susan Arendt, Chris Baker, Lore Sjöberg and me — has engaged in a vicious e-mail fight to bring you our countdown of our top 10 favorite games of 2007. Here are our picks.

Some of the picks are:

• Crackdown
• Crysis
• COD 4
• Mass Effect
• Orange Box
• BioShock
• Super Mario Galaxy
• Rock Band
