Ronan|Raven · 26-11-2003 7:50pm

Max Payne 2 !

tman · 26-11-2003 7:57pm

i'm getting seriously hooked on ff tactics advance at the mo.
i thought i'd play it for an hour at 11 last night, next time i looked up at the clock it was 3:00, then i noticed it starting to get light outside:eek:

other than that, vice city & freelancer on the pc.

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:

I hate to dissagree but your game of the year came out in 2002.

Anyway, Total War is class. The only reason I didn't include it is I only got it last week and I haven't got my head around it yet. Very addictive though.

consider me to be disagreeing with you

Stormfox1020 · 26-11-2003 10:06pm

I dont think hes saying the actual game is crap, just that his PC wont run it aswell as it should.

Ryo Hazuki · 26-11-2003 10:14pm

Nice to see zone of the enders getting a few more mentions, class Game.

all your base are belong to bahram

lol "You Wretch" - Nohman

Apart the the brutal Translation, which i only Noticed the second time I played it (strange?), that game's amazing, its easily best game for PS2 imo, (and cheap 55 euro)

The PC version was released this year.
I'll add CM4 aswell, can't comment on 03/04, only been playing it for half an hour.

totaly incomprhensibe

6 hours to finish and i dispatched 4100 enemies. its a fantastic game, and one of most intense you will every play. it never lets up the pace for a second and full of memorable moments(the high speed train where you slam the enemies into the walls and watch them fly off into the distance or laying into the engines of the battleships while looking over a beautiful dawn and the lights of cities twinkling below and the _huge_ battle against you and your 40 crappy levs against hundreds of enemy orbital frames or when zakat rises through the clouds). kojima-san knows his stuff.

Ryo Hazuki · 26-11-2003 10:53pm

"Thats no warship, thats an Orbital Frame" - Dingo
Not badly translated or anything, just found that part very funny!

"What is the performance of this frame???" - Dingo

Stange Reply:

"This is orbital frame Jehuty, Do you request control instructions?" - ADA

Best game evar

fixXxer · 27-11-2003 12:10am

Soul Calibur 2 anyone? it just keeps eating up my time...

oh and Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain.

*stunner!!*

1.....
2......
3.......

*ding**ding*

i_am_dogboy · 27-11-2003 11:23am

considering i spend half an hour running after crabs on the beach in zelda(i'm convinced you can get one of them) i'm gonna put that as my number one, great game for playing and not actually doing anything, but i still think silent hill 3 deserves some sort of mention

][Dermington][ · 27-11-2003 11:04pm

BLITZ_MOLLOY.....I know that Medieval came out in 2002 but seing as i spent 3 solid weeks just playing multiplayer last christmas/january and seeing as i just bought it last week (IM SO SORRY ACTIVISION) i thought i should count it as one of my games of the year...also i put them in no necessary order...

GTA3 would not run properly and my pc is solid......i guess it lost its appeal after i paid 40 quid for it and it basically told me to go f**k myself.....

Soul Caliber 1 was so good....that is THE best fighting game i have ever played...couldnt get used to 2 though...

___________________________________________________________________

Just one question...how many of you like medieval....and how is it such a good game...considering some of the supposed games activision have released lately i am so surprised that i could be playing a game for over a year....

did you turn trails off, try patching it, or try running it in 16 bit colour (it's jerky as hell on any of the 32bit modes on my pc, vice city is perfect though

)

][Dermington][ · 28-11-2003 9:30am

I tried everything...it doesnt matter tho...true though Vice city even ran on my p3 500 with a geforce2 m 400....solid going there...it ran unbelievably on my p4 as well...so i was truly happy with that....

Maximilian · 28-11-2003 3:55pm

Think I'm probably on my own with this one but my fav game of this year was Splinter Cell on the xbox.

Creature · 28-11-2003 4:22pm

I agree with dogboy I think Silent Hill 3 deserves it. That and Zelda, Soul calibur 2, Vice City and Virtua Fighter 4 Evo.

Deadwing · 28-11-2003 10:46pm

I hadnt played my consoles pretty much since i got my P.C, but after replaying Zelda and Metroid for the past few days i just gotta say..absolutely magic. They get my vote for console games of the year.
As for P.C games..Definitely Max Payne 2, BF1942, CoD.

Goodshape · 30-11-2003 9:54pm

Metroid Prime get's my vote - although I still havn't played Mario Kart, Viewtiful Joe or F-Zero GX. But they couldn't be as good as Metroid.

Zelda:WW comes a close second...

Been a prety slow year for PC games

Praetorian · 01-12-2003 11:51am

The official Praetorian top 10

10 = Kuri Kuri Kurin. Fun fun fun, with a line?!?!

09 = Mario Kart (GC). Great multiplayer. Silly single player.

08 = NFS Underground. My current love at first crash.

07 = Elite Force 2. Pretty good for a trek game.

06 = Homeworld 2. Disappointing compared to the first one, but still quite excellent!

05 = Tron 2.0. Different and fun, nice looking too.

04 = Call of Duty. A million times better than Breakthrough.

My top 3 was difficult to choose…

03 = Metroid Prime. The second best console FPS after Halo. Sexy Samus, drool

02 = Vice City. Replaybility 10, fun 10, graphics 8, sound n music 8, originality 6. Those Scottish guys really know how to make games!!

01 = Max Payne 2. Great story, bullet time, Mona Sex (a?). Poor ending sequence, but otherwise an excellent game

I'm going to kick my self later on when I remember other games

Retr0gamer · 01-12-2003 12:28pm

Sorry Praetorian but kuri kuri kurin was a GBA launch title and therefore wasn't out this year, so you'll have to fill in number ten again

Praetorian · 01-12-2003 3:32pm

This is my game of the year punk!

Boberto · 03-01-2004 10:38am

Freelancer for me

Even after completing it there is lots to do

amp · 03-01-2004 11:24am

For me it has to be Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. So true to it's heritage yet so original.

Mr E · 03-01-2004 12:23pm

I agree with you, amp. Prince of Persia was very short (8½ hours to finish according to the ingame timer, add a couple of hours to that for retries etc.). Finished it yesterday, and I'm going to start it again today. There aren't too many games out there that you want to play through twice in succession......

- Dave.

amp · 03-01-2004 12:26pm

True, there are games that I played longer. Kotor and Vice city being my other two favourites, but PoP isn't so much a game as a piece of art shining in the desert.

Size isn't everything

tman · 03-01-2004 4:18pm

i would dearly love to say metroid prime, its just not doing it for me. (i 've got 90% items and i just can't be arsed getting past the

omega pirate

)

i'd say max payne 2 or vice city have provided most of my favourite gaming moments this year, i can't decide which i love more...

yeah?
it got so goddamned tedious for me after finishing it.
"go to point a, kill the bad guy, return to base" repeat ad infinitum.

the 2 hidden systems were cool tho:D
a bit of a spoiler...

/edit
hmmm, that must make me sound like a hypocrite, given my previous post in this thread...
still, that was before i'd play mp2 or metroid prime...

super_furry · 03-01-2004 4:31pm

Prince of Persia gets my vote, just edging out Pro Evolution 3 and Crimsom Skies (awesome on Live!).

The best game I've played this year however, is Morrowind, but that was released in 2002. I can't wait for the new Game of the Year Edition on Xbox now.

I thought Silent Hill 3 was the best game. All the silent hills are great! The horror saga is addictive.

Swifty · 04-01-2004 3:54pm

Just started playing POP after christmas and its cool. I'm at the bit where I have to meet yer wan at the baths. I love the whole running up and along the walls thing, it's genius. Fighting isn't very exciting in it though. Very good, but didn't make me prematurely spooge my pants like metroid did.

Game of the year!
