Or top 5, or top 20 or whatever and ever. There are alot of gamers on this board so I want to get some opinions here. I think 2004 was the best year in video game history. More contenders of game of the year than any year I can remember, outside of maybe 1998. 1- PS2 Metal Gear Solid 3- Hideo Kojima is ''the artist'', his games go the extra mile. Long after engines and physics and control schemes are obsolete, this game's story, charisma and tragedy will still be as good as it gets. The Boss is right up there with the incoherent old man from the first Zelda as the best character ever in a game. ''Let's play money making game''. What an ending, the best ever on so many levels. Even the actual final battle itself was an awesome artistic triumph. And there's some pretty good gaming in there, too. That helps. 2- PS2 Killzone- took me totally by surprise, because of the lukewarm, inaccurate reviews. My favorite FPS since Perfect Dark. Intense battles, incredible graphics when you consider the 5-6 year old hardware it's running on, and the grittiest, most badass, neo-apocalyptic stylized noir presentation ever. Fixed everything I didn't like about Halo... nothing glossy and clean, a VERY convincing and oppressive militaristic/warzone feel, and you're fighting intimidating soldiers rather than alien muppets. I hate shooting ''creatures'' in FPS games, I like killing evil humans because I'm a sadist with a chip on my shoulder. Another work of art, such great fucking atmosphere. It has flaws but when Killzone 2 hits the PS3, I am expecting AMAZING things from Guerilla, these people know how to craft some hardcore killing. 3- Xbox Ninja Gaiden- the fucking KING of hardcore action gaming. 4- Xbox- Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow 5- PS2 Grand Theft Auto- San Andreas 6- PS2 Ratchet and Clank 3 7- GC Metroid Prime 2 8- PS2 Silent Hill 4- The Room 9- Xbox Thief 3 10- Xbox Rallisport Challenge 2- best racing game ever... until GT4 next month. |

I'm going to have to agree with #1 there. Although I haven't really played anything else from this year other than NHL2k5 and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Both of which I like quite a bit. Hopefully I'll get Metroid Prime 2 sometime in the future. I'm more of a bargain gamer and tend to be behind for the most part. |

I don't have a satisfactory gaming PC, and I'm just not too interested. The only way I know how to game is on a couch/bed on the big screen. The lineup was pretty bare bones this year anyway. Dorky MMORPGs, and Half Life 2. If I had a chance to play the latter a bit more, it might make my list. |

I thought you had played Doom 3? I wouldn't call Doom 3, Half-Life 2, Thief: Deadly Shadows and Rome: Total War a bad result for the PC, to name a few.. |

I played it. It's not top 10 material by any means, I think the general consensus in the gaming community was ''failure'' and ''boring''. Actually I thought it was very very good, but it really got lost in the shuffle this year. It's shit compared to something like Metroid Prime 2, and got way overhyped. That engine is the most intriguing part of the game! Yeah, those are all solid games, but nothing I'm interested in. It's not that I don't like the scene, it's just that I don't have a good gaming rig and I don't like RTS games. Most good PC games are on Xbox anyway. |

i can't really remember all of what came out last year. 1. metal gear solid 3 (though i only rented it and made it to the sniper battle) 2. zelda four swords adventure (and i played it by myself) 3. tales of symphonia ... some other stuff. i say this in every game thread but: i really, really wish i wasn't broke. resident evil 4 and mercenaries look better than anything that came out last year (bar mgs3). |

Resident Evil 4 is blowing people away. It's the real deal. The reviews kicked the shit out of Half Life 2 and Halo... think about that. I'm so excited. |

i played only these two old games during 2004: Quake3, Carmageddon 2. With bigger percentage of time spent on Quake3. |
||||||||
|

pretty much the only new game i played this year is GTA: San Andreas, but it's pretty much the most fun i've ever had playing a video game ever pretty much. it was also among the harshest games on the state of my marraige since Counter Strike! |

I stayed away from killzone due to reviews. Your review will allow me attempt to play this game. Halo2 didnt make your top 10? |

MGS3 not yet released in the UK *suicides* |
||||||||
|
|

half life 2 and custom robo are the only games i played, they were both pretty good (p.s. ophecks, it's nice to see a fellow nova scotian) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Ummm, some of them would be, Half-Life 2, Doom 3, UT2004, MOHPA, NFSU2 and COD:UO |

Rent it for a week, you won't regret it. The single player is long as heck. Great online/multi, too. Great maps, modes, and it even has bots like Perfect Dark. I can't even fathom the moronic reviews. The battles in this game are the shit. It's one of those games where you get killed if you poke your head out your cover for more than 2 seconds, so I guess it isn't for everyone. Dann- MGS3 is going to have some added modes and features and stuff. But still, it sucks to be you. :_-( Best game ever. *waves to A Guest |

Dude, I love you. I was thinking of putting that but I thought it came under Half-Life 2. Where do you play usually? |

in college, when i went kinda nuts and had to isolate myself, i became a golden god at jezzball. i think my highscore was somewhere around 450,000. i haven't played in years though. p.s. 10,000 ! |

I play a lot on the M!6 server (canadian clan server), and various quebec public servers. what's your steam name? I'll give you an add and we'll have a game some time. CS:S > HL2 imo |

Bots are an important factor. I always liked the addition of bots! :) Why no Halo2 on your list? |

yeah, i had a pretty sweet strategy. i could clear like < 95% on all the boards up until there were like 8 or 9 balls. can you still get that game on the web anywhere? maybe i'll install it and see how good i am these days. |
||||||||
|

i did a search for it a few months ago - that's how i recovered this game. oh here it is: i used to play it a lot when i was younger, when it actually came with windows 3.1 or whatever... |

Aw sheeite, it's on now! |

Favorite, god I can hardly think about what I was playing last week. Anyway, here's my top 5. 5. I can't remember five games I've played this year. 4. Metal Gear Solid : Remake - Really fun game. More polished than the original with some extras. 3. Tales of Symphonia - I still haven't got to finish this. But I seldom finish rpgs. This one has good character design, an alright story, and wonderful FX. 2. Paper Mario - Great diologue and graphics. Plus a very cool battle system. 1. Metroid Prime - I just fell in love with this game. Maybe I was on mushrooms. Great in every way. So far Resident Evil 4 should be in this spot even though it just came out. The game is so good it should erase all the top tens from 2004. |
