    thought you guys might want a quick glimpse at what games you can expect to see in the polls (i'll be creating them within the next few hours... or possibly tomorrow if this beer doesn't stop pouring itself down my throat)
    i've been trying to keep the nominees between 4 and 5.

    Gamecube GOTY
    mp2:e
    Pikmin 2
    Animal Crossing
    Harvest Moon
    Tales of Symphonia

    XBox GOTY
    Halo 2
    Tiger Woods 2005
    Ninja Gaiden
    Burnout 3: Takedown

    RPG of 2004

    KOTOR
    Disgaea
    Tales of symponia

    Best game ever!
    the suggestions have been counted for this one. but there are far too many suggestions to fit in 1 poll.
    Moriarty's suggestion of seperate polls for consoles and pc games seems to be a winner.

    Garett (Thief III)
    Gordon Freeman (HL2)

    Action Adventure
    Beyond Good and Evil
    Metroid Prime 2
    Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

    Hottest Female
    Princess Peach (Mario Golf)
    Samus Aran (Metroid Prime 2: Echoes)
    Dead or Alive Ultimate Girls
    Nico (Broken Sword)
    Alyx (Half-Life 2)

    Best FPS
    Metroid Prime 2
    Halo 2
    UT2004
    Far Cry

    i've added the first few polls and Moriarty is busy beavering away on the best game ever selections...
    this is taking a lot longer than i had anticipated. i'll do one more tonight and try to get the rest done tomorrow.

    Can't you include the disgraceful FFX-2 in the most disappointing game of the year section unless it got less votes than I thought. However it will probably get swamped by the others in the list and the steam haters.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    it only got 2 votes, so would have been vying for a place along with 4 others.
    it was easier for me to just choose the games that got 3 votes and over :(
    (i was pretty damn tempted to lump crystal chronicals and X-2 together in an effort to get them in the poll)
