    Gots to be! Chamone!

    Best game I've played this year by far. In fact I think that the people who wrote the script for this one should write any future movies.

    I really haven't played any games I'v really loved this year. Ye there were the time-fillers like Zelda and VJ but overall a very boring year in games for me. :( Now i'm just hoping that FF:CC will be reeeeeeeeally good.

    I'll have a definitive list in December. Still haven't played BG&E or Prince of Persia

    So far:
    1. Metroid Prime
    2. FF Tactics Advanced
    3. Viewtiful Joe
    4. Ikaruga
    5. Zelda Wind Waker (bargain of the year for the special limited edition)
    6. Suikoden 3 (well it should have been out this year)
    7. F-zero GX

    Can't think of anything else at moment. Very disappointed with PS2. However FFX-2 will be in post soon.

    Zone of the Enders : The 2nd Runner

    Cleared it on every difficulty, savage game.

    50% of extra missions done.

    I can't get into this at all either. It bores the hell out of me. Give me Shining Force above this any day. I don't care if its not as pretty.

    Picking a game of the year is tricky. I suppose I probably played Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution the most so I'll go with that. I've also got this love/hate relationship thing going on with Shinobi so that can be second. :)

    1. Viewtiful Joe - sheer class
    2. Zone of the Enders 2 - all your base are belong to bahram
    3. Metroid Prime - its too good
    4. Zelda: The Wind Waker - its not quite OOT but still fantastic
    5. DoDonPachi Daioujou - its not better that ikaruga
    6. Ikaruga - its better dodonpachi daioujou but just not as much fun
    7. Xenosaga - its a head**** anime that just happens to be a game
    8. Soul Calibur 2 - finally something to knock tekken 3 off the top fighter slot
    9. Live for Speed - homebrewed and shockingly realistic online racer
    10. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - im not embarrased to use my gameboy in public anymore

    but with Final Fantasy X-2 already on its way from hong kong and Gran Turismo 4 Prologue coming next week things might change.

    Here's the ones I forgot:

    Zone of Enders 2
    Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
    Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire

    I'd like to include Xenosaga but I found the battle system to be a little random and battles took way too long. Also the story isn't finished and leaves more questions unanswered. Hopefully Episode 2 will clear things up and give it a more complete storyline like Xenogears.

    I do like FF tactics advance a lot. However I play it for about 1-1.5 hours everyday so it doesn't get too repetitive which it probably would if I played it continuously.

    I beat Ikaruga yesterday :D I'm so proud of myself.

    my top 3 in order..

    1) Advance Wars 2 (maybe the best game I have ever played..)
    2) Championship manager 03/04 (I've spent the last 7 months testing and playing, and Im still playing it..)
    3) Tiger Woods 2004 (great pick up and play fun!)
    4) Eye Toy! (for drunken mayhem at parties!)


    (ps: I think vice city was out last year, not this one ;))

    Have to agree. The best invention for house parties since the dance mat.

    Hi...I dont want to sound like a total idiot but some of the games of the year are not amazing titles or anything like that...just certain aspects are really good an deserve a mention...here goes...(In no necessary order)...

    1/ Medieval Total War + Viking Expansion (I love this game...)
    2/ Call Of Duty (fairly solid AI and good fun)
    3/ Vice City (thank god it actually works...unlike its CRAP predecessor)
    4/ EVE Online (biiiiiig game)
    5/ Knights of the old republic (worth the crazy €60 the shops want)

    Dont bother disagreeing with me...:ninja:
