This thread is about to get *huge*..

Also, good job Katamari!

 

[Poody]

halo? you've got to be kidding...

 

[Grubdog]

Not enough Pikmin 2 love.

 

[Kanbee-san]

Half Life 2 owned again. :lol

 

[Sean]

Pretty surprising that Halo 2 won over Half-Life 2 considering GameSpy is a much more PC oriented site.

 

[snapty00]

1. Halo 2 (Xbox)
2. Half-Life 2 (PC)
3. Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater (PS2)
4. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)
5. World of Warcraft (PC)
6. Unreal Tournament 2004 (PC)
7. Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)
8. Burnout 3: Takedown (PS2/Xbox)
9. Metroid Prime 2 Echoes (GCN)
10. Katamari Damacy (PS2)

Other than that GameCube game being a little too high up there, the list seems credible.

 

[goomba]

Their opinions are wrong!

 

[TheDiave]

Wow, big fucking shock there. *rolls eyes*

That looks suspiciously like a People's Choice vote.

 

[el jacko]

Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metroid Prime 2 are way too far down that list. Should be #1 & #2. (my opinion, of course)

Same with Katamari Damacy, though to a lesser extent. At least it placed, don't see that much anywhere else.

 

[king zell]

MGS3 should be no.1

Metroid Prime no.2

and halo2 out of the top 10

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Don't really agree with the placement of HL2, MP2, and WoW. These games should be higher, imo, but whatever. Also, I think that UT2004 should not be on that list.

 

[GhaleonEB]

And all is right with the world again.

 

[Sean]

I agree with their choices, although I would swap Metroid Prime 2 and UT2004 (MP2 should be #6, UT2k4 #9 IMO).

 

[GhaleonEB]

That looks suspiciously like a People's Choice vote.

Meaning it reflects reality?

 

[StoOgE]

OMG.. a game from a console I dont own won. THAT CANT BE RITE!@

 

[Do The Mario]

No Bioware that sucks, gamespot have no fuckin taste

 

[GhaleonEB]

No Bioware that sucks, gamespot have no fuckin taste

This is gamespy.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

you people are fucking psychos. stop freaking out.

 

[nitewulf]

take out katamari, put in gradius and we are good to go.

 

[Do The Mario]

This is gamespy.

It’s all the same anti bioware pro japohpile shit.

 

[GhaleonEB]

It’s all the same anti bioware pro japohpile shit.

lol

 

[Odysseus]

BioWare? That's next year.

Jade Empire.... mmmmm....

 

[nitewulf]

they should just make all games #1...i mean ppl are picking multiple games and saying all of them should be higher...uhhhh what??
i want x,y, and z to be #1!!!!

 

[sureshooting]

 

[lexi]

You think wrong! I'm glad UT2004 is getting some fucking recognition! If anyone needs me I'll be in the angry dome!

 

[sureshooting]

1. Halo 2 (Xbox)
6. Unreal Tournament 2004 (PC)

Did this list really need two of the exact same game?

 

[radioheadrule83]

If I had to re-arrange the ones I've played

1. Half-Life 2 (PC)
2. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)
3. Metroid Prime 2 Echoes (GCN)
4. Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater (PS2)
5. Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)
6. Burnout 3: Takedown (PS2/Xbox)
7. Unreal Tournament 2004 (PC)

???. Halo 2 (Xbox) -- first one has totally put me off
???. World of Warcraft (PC) -- my PC sucks
???. Katamari Damacy (PS2) -- can't get it yet

 

[TheDuce22]

Halo 2 was by far the best game I played all year. This list = truth.

 

[dark10x]

Not a bad list...

I'd move MGS3 to number 1, though...

I know SOMEONE who is going to be upset that "Fako 2" (not his words) and Half-Life 2 made it to the top, though (who just happens to hate both games with a passion).

No Bioware that sucks

Bioware did not release a game in 2004, as far as I know. Knights of the Old Repbulic 2 was created by Obsidian and I have no clue if it should be on there or not as I haven't played it (and likely never will).

Did this list really need two of the exact same game?

OK, this comment wins "most ignorant post of the day" award. You really haven't played those games have you? Both first person shooters? Of course. Yet, they could not possibly be more different.

 

[Monk]

Come on, you should atleast play it, ...well unless you are like me and hopelessly addicted to WoW.

 

[Code_Link]

Echoes is too low.

I wish they stopped mixing hype with quality when it comes to reviewing and choosing games.

 

[dark10x]

Err, they didn't. Those games at the top of the list are actually all very high quality. Whether or not you enjoyed them really doesn't change that fact...

Honestly, though, MGS3 was really in the same boat as Echoes (lost in the sea of bigger games)...and that took place number 3.

Of course, based on the fact that your user name is "Code_Link", I can only assume that you are a Nintendo fan who is possibly unwilling to pass fair judgement on games that are not available on Gamecube.

You Lie

 

[CrimsonSkies]

Good list.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Finally, a correct list

Did this list really need two of the exact same game?

:lol :lol :lol How do these morons pass registration?

OMG both have "Killing Sprees" it's the same game!

 

[EclipseGST]

GAF is filled with anit conformists (sp?). The games were great and all those games did good...now bow to HALO 2!!!

They're also notoriously pro-Xbox. This list is wrong on so many levels. But, I've never been one to take Gamespy's opinion seriously. Halo 2 shouldn't be above MGS3 or Half-Life 2.

The horsemen must be drawing near...

Suck it down xbox hater. The more crying you do the better.

 

[Necroscope]

MGS 3 is my number 1 game of this year and the #2 is Ninja Gaiden. I am glad both is on the list.

 

[Lemurnator]

This is gamespy.

I need a real publication to read while I take a shit on that list and this thread.

When did people start caring about GameSpy again?

Gamespy is ASS and they still would be no matter which game was GOTY.

 

[Atomsmasher]

Good awards thing, agreed with most of their choices.

Gross. Little kids pooping.

 

[Odysseus]

GameSpy > GameSpot


Although I must say that Halo 2 is not my GOTY. But it is certainly not a bad choice.

 

[Tabris]

Any list where MGS3 isn't first place is automatically disqualified!

 

[Kon Tiki]

Finally some UT2k4 love. Sadly, 6 places too low.

 

[monkeyrun]

their opinion is wrong .. Halo 2 should be much lower than that.

 

[zork007]

Hey bout time Ninja Gaiden got some "best of" love.
