Game Informer, North America's largest paid circulation games publication, today announced its picks for the best games of the 2004 holiday season in its latest Game Informer Top 10 list.
1. Halo 2 (Xbox)
2. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)
3. Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal (PS2)
4. Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (Xbox,PS2)
5. Half-Life 2 (PC)
6. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (PS2)
7. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (Gamecube)
8. Star wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords (Xbox)
9. Burnout 3: Takedown (Xbox)
10. World of Warcraft (PC)

Except for the lack of Ninja Gaiden, and Tony Hawk, I agree. They're probably going by sales either way.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

No Ace Combat V? This list blows!

 

[6.8]

No "Insert game I like that's not on the list"? This list blows!

 

[Mashing]

HL2 at #5 behind R&C *AND* THUG 2... I do not agree.

 

[GaimeGuy]

wtf is with the industry splurgefest over Burnout 3?

 

[Doom_Bringer]

No "Insert game I like that's not on the list"? This list blows!

Haha Ace Combat V is a good game, probably much better than Tony Hawk Underground Skater

 

[lexi]

10. World of Warcraft (PC)

Easily better then most of the games on that list.

 

[Kon Tiki]

No handhelds? OUTRAGE!

 

[Kifimbo]

4. Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (Xbox,PS2)
5. Half-Life 2 (PC)

:lol

 

[Bog]

THUG2 makes this list HIL-ARIOUS.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Another thing. Outrun 2 >>>>> Burnout 3


That is all.

 

[Sullichin]

Why the fuck is THUG 2 even on this list? :lol

 

[GSG Flash]

Another thing. Outrun 2 >>>>> Burnout 3


That is all.

I disagree x100, mr junior member

 

[Gek54]

THUG2 makes this list HIL-ARIOUS.

Yeah I think they meant NFSU2.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

I disagree x100, mr junior member

I agree with the statement Outrun 2 >>>>> Burnout 3 *Infinity+1

 

[gofreak]

half-life 2 and world of warcraft are way too low down...

...but then this is gameinformer. What more needs to be said?

 

[missAran]

No Pikmin 2, that's a bit disappointing to me.

 

[LinesInTheSand]

fuck morons

 

[Vibri]

THUG 2 above Half-Life 2?

GI's credibility continues down the shitter. Now we really know that magazine's run by a bunch of infantiles.

 

[darkiguana]

Heh, no paper mario on the list

darkiguana

 

[ChrisReid]

wtf is with the industry splurgefest over Burnout 3?

Burnout's really great.

 

[AstroLad]

That settles the Big Argument...

...THUG 2 really is better than Half Life 2.

Stupid PC fanboys.

 

[Chony]

list.is.shit

 

[Do The Mario]

KOTOR 2 only 8th teh outrage!

 

[AbeFroman]

That settles the Big Argument...

...THUG 2 really is better than Half Life 2.

Stupid PC fanboys.

:lol

Sell the PC!

 

[Soul4ger]

What, Tony Hawk Underground 2 isn't on GameCube?

 

[GaimeGuy]

I should drive downtown right now and blow up Game Informer's HQ.

 

[Mike Works]

I see Burnout 3, but where's Outrun 2?

Where it should be.

 

[MetatronM]

I agree with the statement Outrun 2 >>>>> Burnout 3 *Infinity+1

And just like that, GAF has graduated to the second grade.

 

[AbeFroman]

I should drive downtown right now and blow up Game Informer's HQ.

Sweet...meaningless press releases provoke terroistic threats.

Good one, fucktard.

 

[mj1108]

After how they state they review titles, how can anyone even take anything they say or rate seriously?

 

[shpankey]

good gosh, some of the reaction in here is just plain juvenile. i think the list is pretty damn good actually. and talking about killing them because your game wasn't higher on the list? holy shit.

 

[human5892]

If THUG2 is better than HL2, I'm Nelson Fucking Mandela.

Spoiler

And I'm not!

 

[Agent Dormer]

I think some of this list is based on the public perception of this list.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Where's Paper Mario 2?

 

[cvxfreak]

Almost predictable. =/

 

[GaimeGuy]

Where's Paper Mario 2?

6.75

 

[bitwise]

and that score was about right.

 

[fse]

Even though I dont own a pc, or HL2, it should be...

1. HL2
2. Halo 2
etc... add Ace Combat and take away the shitty Tony hawk game.

 

[bheemer]

wtf is with the industry splurgefest over Burnout 3?

have you played the game, it only takes 1 minute to get you hooked.

 

[GaimeGuy]

have you played the game, it only takes 1 minute to get you hooked.

Yeah, I have. I really didn't see what's so special. Of course, I tend to not enjoy racers except for the futuristic and/ or cartoony type, like F-Zero, Mario Kart, and Konami Krazy Racers.

 

[king zell]

and that score was about right.

do you own the game? or just trolling Nintendo as you always do..

 

[AniHawk]

do you own the game? or just trolling Nintendo as you always do..

He said he played it, but then again, there were those who did get to Ganon in Majora's Mask.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Stick Pikmin 2 on that list, and a Nintendo DS, and you're good to go

 

[Stele]

do you own the game? or just trolling Nintendo as you always do..

He's being twelve years old.

 

[king zell]

oh.. I see..

 

[IAmtheFMan]

6.75

Yeah, I was kidding.

 

[Gorgie]

The list was decided on how well the average reader likes to play/show off these games.

 

[iapetus]

HL2 at #5 behind R&C *AND* THUG 2... I do not agree.

IAWTP. It should have been below KOTOR2, too.

 

[Auron]

I agree that Game Informer has no credibility when it comes to reviewing software. The only reason they get the circulation they do is by giving it away with the GameStop discount cards.
