Follow up : Game of the Year - 2004

Proof that the xBox has been the gamer's choice over the 'cube and the PS2 (bar GTA : SA of course.. ;)?

Chiggedy ch-ch-check out GameSpy's top 10 for xBox here and here are the PC games of the year too.

Bah humbug. ;)

The thing about the list I'm most disappointed about is Bungers was going to list the games and link them to Amazon. Promises, promises.

KOTOR2 looks like very little has been added over KOTOR - the reviews bang on about better story development. Where's the new features? It's a full price data disc. Greedy fsckers.

Just had a look at the PC ones. Yep - full of cack. How the fsck did Sims 2 get rated best strategy game (leaving out the fact it's not very strategic) in the year Rome:TW comes out?

There *are* a lot of sequels in the Xbox list but I wouldn't say there are many dodgy ones - most of them are good games.

Have you heard any ps2 owner braying for a halo2 convertion?
How about xboxers with San An?
:D

mmChronic said...

I haven't brayed. I know the conversion is coming - and I'm sure I read somewhere this is the last ps2 'exclusive' version.

Having said that once the ps2 shortage (or Christmas price fixing) is over in the new year I might be tempted yet. :)

Oh - I forgot to mention Myst being mentioned in the PC list at least twice. WTF? It's a slideshow not a game.

So what's everyone's nominations for their own All Platform GOTY? Mine are R:TW followed by Halo 2.

And briefly borrowing Bungers' mystic powers my prediction for next year's (if it gets released next year) is this. Which nearly everyone else on here will hate! Probably. ;)

There's always room for more gaming hardware. ;)

I'm getting PES4 for Xbox for Christmas. The licence stuff is a shame but the game is supposed to be brilliant. So that might get into my list soon. :)

No doubt GTA:SA will be popular - but it does look very good. Not as good as it'll look on the other platforms when the conversion comes out mind. ;)

Lisa asked if I wanted a ps2 for Christmas so I think it's safe to say yes.

mmChronic said...

It was indeed Perfect Dark. I thought that was playable with pads.

There was a GoldenEye game out recently - but that was supposed to be very bad.
