If you haven't had a look at all nine of our categories yet, there's still time to . We've ranked the best sports games, the best handheld games, the best action-adventure games and everything in between. And to come up with our lists, we've spent hours and hours in front of PCs and TV and consoles. (It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.)

But before you hit the mall for that last-minute stocking-stuffer blitz, we need your help in picking the best overall game of 2007. Think of it like a dog show: We're almost finished judging the best of each "breed" of video game. The next step is to pick the prestigious "best of show."
