Game of the year 2001 Poll

    Right based on the games mentioned in the Game of the year thread I have gleaned a top ten of choices.

    Now there can be only ten so some of the more bizarre and therefore less mentioned games have had to have been dropped. And no doubt there will be complaints that you can't compare the likes of Civ3 to Max Payne.

    Also there is a PC bias to this poll, again this is cos I've picked from the most mentioned games in the afore mentioned thread.

    And besides. Who cares? It's just a fecking poll! It's not like there's going to be awards or anything. So NO WHINGING! Especially from Shinji. Super Monkey Ball indeed.

    Gotta say it was close between Serious sam and max payne but that serious sam engine is fuping beautiful ;)


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    2001 really was a dismal year for computer gaming, when games like Return to Castle Wolfenstein are at the top... oh dear :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,196 ✭✭✭Littletinyman


    Excuse me, where is NBA Jam '01?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,148 ✭✭✭✭Raskolnikov


    Cossacks on the PC was the best game of the year IMHO

    Dunno, when did you last see it? Have you tried retracing your steps?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭Kairo


    I'm afraid I'll have to retract my earlier statement that Wolfenstein is game of the year. After playing it through fully I know realise that error of my ways and I'm going with my earlier choice for game of the year...Poking Myself With a Fork (in the eye)

    I'm really looking forward to the sequel..I hear they have spoons. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 185 ✭✭MelKor


    ok ok so you said not to complain, so ill be brief, i can forgive you for putting civ3 and max payne in the same poll but putting consoles in with pc games, i mean come on!!!??
    :)



    why cant i vote again anyway, i cant believe that you people have fallen under the foul hand of democracy,

    anyway OP-FLASH ROCKS and i hope it does good here too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,275 ✭✭✭Shinji


    Er, you might as well whinge about putting all the different consoles into the same poll. Conclusion: shut up :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 185 ✭✭MelKor


    it was actually a joke,:( but if you think about it thats not a bad idea?

    Jeez DBC, get with the new millenium.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    Oh come now amp don't be so hard on the guy, just look at it, its in Technicolor! See how the light is reflected beautifully on the water, and the super cool two-dimensional characters give the game an unprecedented sense of realism. Why this game would keep kidz captivated for minutes on end!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,281 ✭✭✭DeadBankClerk


    get some archer mclean skills everyone

    btw: RTCW is a soulless shallow game that i played just for the name.....for shame!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,234 ✭✭✭ayatollah

    age of kings:the conquerors owned my pants.
    and it still does actually.


    i had IK+ on my amstrad cpc 6128
    it rowked!
    3 player action


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,947 ✭✭✭BLITZ_Molloy


    IK+ is a cool game.

    RTCW is not worthy of being game of the year. It's got nice graphics but it's as shallow as Serious Same at the end of the day. Allied Assault walks all over Wolfenstien.

    My vote goes to Flashpoint. Such a small eastern european company has outdone itself creating that, even if it was a little buggy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 999 ✭✭✭DrunkLeprachaun


    I voted for Castlevania on the gba, I just can't put it down.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭Jimi-Spandex


    1st Max Payne, by a nose
    2nd Serious Sam
    3rd Fork Pokery


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    #1 : GTA3 /ps2
    #2 : Max Payne /pc
    #3 : Poking myself in the face with a fork/other /atari jaguar

    Eh, wasn't OpFlash made by codemasters, who, if I am not mistaken, are british?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


    Atari Jaguar

    There's Unreal Tournament and then there is Unreal Tournament.

    For fast, no thinking, kill everything action, there is no comparison.

    Keep your girly cars and your girly snipers and your girly strategies!

    UT is the only release


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 97 ✭✭Firefox


    Without a doubt.........Shenmue II...best game i've played in 2001.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,580 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    If this is a "Game of the year 2001 Poll" where is CS? Wasn't 1.0 issued during 2001? and in anycase it was 'the' game that defined the year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 760 ✭✭✭BoobeR


    op flash is addictive :D :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,782 ✭✭✭Xterminator


    Max Payne would be top of the chart for me, though ive played Pro evolution Soccer for many more hrs.

    But while Payne lasted, it was captivating.

    X


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 113 ✭✭daftbegger


    It has to be C/M 01/02
    Its more or less the same but it still keeps me indoors, without any exposure to sun or the elements, I still look 12!!!!!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 2,975 Mod ✭✭✭✭LoGiE


    CIV III totaly excellent. Only problem is it promotes insomnia and has seriously affected my ability to get to my lectures:D
