There are too many titles that didn't release in November on that list.
Gamespy's GOTY awards are up
- Thread starter Odysseus
- Start date
good list it seems. I agree with the Halo 2 at #1 but I haven't played some of the others on the list.
People who dislike halo 2 or have big issues with it... it's meant to be played online. So if you cant play online dont expect to love it. simple as that. If you do play it online... sweet and you know it =). As long as you have some amount of skill online halo 2 is incredible.

I think the first nine choices on that list are very reasonable. Might disagree with the order a little bit, but what list other than mine would have the perfect order for me?
As for Katamari, putting it in at #10 seems like a pretty token nod to its rabid fanbase. If you really liked it, put it ahead of some blockbusters. If you didn't care for it that much, leave it off.

What are you talking about? Halo 2's single player combat is the yardstick by which all other FPS combat is measured. Now i can understand if you didn't care for how the game ended, cause i thought it sucked as well. But to make the usumption that Halo 2's single player isn't up to snuff because the mp is considered by some reviewers to be slightly better than the sp experience is just ridiculous.
Though the stories ending left a horribly bad taste in my mouth, it in no way takes away from the fact that the single player gameplay itself is some of the most intense, fun, and well crafted fps experiences available right now.
The only thing i can't believe is sites saying Halo 2 is basically the best FPS ever made (that is if you make the assumption HL2 is the best PC FPS ever made), especially sites like Gamespy that are very PC centric. I say this because there have always been people that have said a console is no place to play a FPS and that games like the first Halo were only considered good because of a lack of competition on consoles. And if Halo was released only as a PC game, it would be considered average at best. So to see a PC centric site like Gamespy announce that Halo 2 is not only the best console FPS this year but the best game this year period is rather unexpected especially since it was picked over HL2 which is the sacred cow of PC gaming.
At the very least Halo haters can no longer use the "different standards" argument every time they want to bash Halo.

halo 2's single player is really good. I never denied this. Just I wouldnt expect hordes among gamers to love it. that is the difference. really damn good but not spectacular. they made many cuts to the game. 4 different types of warthogs?? All we got was 1 except with a slight mod that had the guass cannon. They cut a LOT from the game. There was so much more they could have added to the game. It feels too much like Halo 1. This isn't to say it isnt great in single player. Because is it but they could have really given us something to talk about if microsoft didn't fuck with the production. The campaign was hacked. Multiplayer was left in tact but due to time constraints I imagine they could have added more maps to multiplayer.
Halo 2 is my game of the year. But it could have really been a revolution in gaming quality if they didnt cut basically half the damn features.
I'm glad to see Unreal Tournament 2004 on SOMEONE's list. As much as Half-Life 2 kicked a lot of ass...UT2k4 is my PC game of the year. UT2k4 is an extremely polished game with intense multiplayer action, a lot of game modes and maps, and they managed to release an upgrade with new maps and new vehicles this year...and were class enough not to charge for it.
