The Best of 2003

01-04-2004, 10:32 PM

I was waiting for this topic to come up...but I guess I'll throw it in myself.

What are your picks for the following categories:

Best Overall Game: Call of Duty
Most Addicting Game: Amplitude

Best Xbox Game: Max Payne 2
Best PS2 Game: Socom II
Best GC Game: I don't own a GC so I can't really vote on this one...
Best PC Game: Call of Duty (even if it was a little short)
Best GBA Game: Super Mario Advance 4
Best Racing/Sports Game: Project Gotham 2
Best RPG: Fire Emblem
Best Action/Adventure Game: Beyond Good and Evil
Best Shooter: Why must you ask me to choose?! Rainbow Six:3
Best Fighting Game: Soul Calibur 2

Best Breast Bouncage in a Game (thrown in there for the guys out there): DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball
Most Anticipated: Tie!!! Half-life 2 and Halo 2

If you have any other random categories to add, feel free to do so :-)

'Fire Emblem'?! You have lived a deprived life if you don't say...

Best RPG: Knights of the Old Republic

That's RPG gold for PC and Xbox (I have the PC version myself)

I'm to lazy to think up other stuff now, and I haven't bought that many games this year, but I'll think up more stuff later.

No, that came out in 2001. This is best of 2003. It doesn't count.

Best GC Game: Viewtiful Joe.

Way too many games this year.

Zone of the Enders 2, Guilty Gear X2, Castlevania (Both AoS and LoI), FF Tactics Advance, Sword of Mana, Wind Waker, Ikaruga, Viewtiful Joe, Xenosaga E1, Mario Kart DD, SoulCalibur 2... I think that's most of the ones I bought or played extensively this year. Of course, I'm leaving a ton of shit out, but then there's been no shortage of quality gaming this year.

IHMN-

You're a bit late on SSBM... Wasn't that a launch title?

IHateMakingNames · 01-04-2004, 11:08 PM

It's that good...

If you want an offical answer though...

Best GC Game: Mario Kart Double Dash

I'll have to think hard about this one. Keep in mind I can only pick games I have played, so many PS2 and XBox games will be left out.

OK, I started thinking about this too hard. I've been way out of the loop since I quit GameStop. I wouldn't be able to come up with a good list without a comprehensive list of all the titles released in 2003. However after thinking about Best PC Game and Best RPG, I realized that I've been playing NeverWinter Nights nearly non-stop since it came out in 2002.

I vote Fire Emblem for Best "One More Turn Syndrome" Game, but that's just me.

YES!!! Henshin-a-go-go, baby! The only problem with this game is the lack of multi-player. Although co-op VJ would be absolutel VIEWTIFUL (yes, I know I'm getting repetitive) the one-player experience is good enough...besides, we need something to look forward to for the sequel.

I think to buy Viewtiful Joe... Even after getting it, Mario Kart would still probably be better. Atleast in the Multiplayer department it's #1 (Even though SSBM is better... Who cares about years...)
