    Game of the year?

    Sure that'll have to be Half-Life ... again.

    -=-=-

    But seriously... games I've enjoyed this year have included FIFA 2002, Worms World Party, Black & White (up to a point) and Serious Sam.

    Wuaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhh... BOOM, Click-Click. "WUAAGH! yerself!"

    Duke Nukem Forever. Wait a minute...


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,581 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    Game of the year: Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo Revival (GBA)

    Disappointment of the year: Black & White

    I also liked Mario Kart, Max Payne, Virtua Tennis 2 and GTA3. It hasn't been a terribly great year though, but next year should be an improvement with 3 consoles out...

    I quite liked max payne. I have yet to try gta3... rumour has it santy is going to throw it down my chimney this year ;)

    Operation. Flashpoint.

    Without a doubt the most involving extensive playable game it has ever been my pleasure to play.

    Black and white was 'cute' for the first 3hours.
    Quickly got bored. Monster wasn't growing, or becoming 'mostery' enough, as quickly as I'd have liked. it was too easy to kill the natives. No challenge in wreaking havoc amongst your own people. The brother loved it though.

    Insane is a class racing game. Great physics engine and the capture the flag mode surpasses many an FPS's implementation of it.

    Well for me it'll probably be Civ3, which like it's predecessor, is the only game that I can't stop playing until the wee small hours.

    Well for the PC I would have said Max Payne and I really did enjoy playing it BUT after picking up Return to Caslte Wolfenstein - WOW!!!

    This game gets my vote!

    Playstation - GTA 3.

    Although I'm not a major gamer, I'd have to go for Return To Castle Wolfenstein as well..... fantastic :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan


    aok:the conquerors is the only game that i can think of that i bought this yer that actually came out this year :)
    apart from that it was all older stuff.
    although i really liked max payne.
    i thought black and white was good fun.
    tekken tag was great (this year?)
    gt3 was really good fun
    blue shift was the biggest waste of time.
    i suspect retur to castle wolfenstein will be good, but far too short i hear. which is a shame coz ive gone back to single player games.
    in fact, f*ck it, bard is right, im gonna get out half life and play it again.
    that was when they knew how to make games.

    but game im nost looking forward to?
    unreal 2.
    bring it on.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,626 ✭✭✭smoke.me.a.kipper


    Mario Kart on GameBoyAdvance. my brother got it and it's fantastic fun! i could play it for days!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭Da Bounca


    Dark Age of Camelot gets my vote.
    The only reason its not getting your votes is that you probably haven't played it yet. :)

    Its class.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Rune is the only game I played and finished this year apart from Q3. Story, animation and general *feeling* was great. Pity it didnt get the reception it deserved imho.

    Biggest disappointment... hmmm B&W but only because thy hyped it to high heaven.

    DeV.

    The only reason its not getting your votes is that you probably haven't played it yet.

    Actually the reason it's not getting mine is that it's tedious tree-hugging nonsense. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,980 ✭✭✭meglome


    I'm playing Armada2 right now which I think is very good. But have also been playing Civ3, RTCW, Empire Earth and Dark Age of Camelot, all of which I thought were good.

    Well I'd have to say that I'm very impressed with it, I'm almost finished it and looking forward to playing it again on a higher difficulty:D

    It just looks fantastic, if nothing else

    Haven't actually played it online yet though, any use?

    Game of the year, mmm

    It's a definite strong contender alright

    Zeig Heil!;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,202 ✭✭✭Swifty


    GTA 3.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,491 ✭✭✭Shred


    Sorry, momentary lapse of reason there:confused:

    In my half drunken stupor I actually forgot about the one and only Mr. Payne:eek:

    Now there is my absolute hands down vote for game of the year:)

    (if only it was about 5 hours longer:rolleyes: )


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,333 ✭✭✭Celt


    GTA 3, i've only bought like 3 games this year :)
    Or maybe Total Annihilation.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,711 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manach


    Of the games I got this year,
    Cossacks would get my vote if only for it runs decently on my low spec machine and with good, if limited gameplay.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,148 ✭✭✭✭Lemming


    mmm .... Commandos2 is pretty damn funky!! And there's 3 disks full of stuff too!! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭Mills


    I'd say Max payne or RTCW, probably have to go for Max payne at the minute because RTCW's single player was disappointing towards the end and I can't find anywhere good to play online yet (*hint* people should start using eddie.ign.ie more*hint*).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,155 ✭✭✭ykt0di9url7bc3
