Diablo II: Lord of Destruction
Final Fantasy X
Grand Theft Auto III
Ico
Klonoa 2
Metal Gear Solid 2
Silent Hill 2
Twisted Metal Black
God damn, what a year. I think when all is said and done, combining what I enjoyed most to what I would still play and enjoy most now? Ico probably takes it... but I hate splitting hairs here. Hard year to do that on.

Couple great ones, titles that saw a ton of play from me where Devil May Cry, Golden Sun, Advance Wars, Final Fantasy X, Sonic Adventure 2, and Zone of the Enders.
The title I easily played the most of was Melee, but my passion and love for the Smash series has kinda died hard over the years.

Tropico, Diablo 2 Expansion, Civ 3
Tropico was a perfect relaxation game when I was in college. It was a quirky escape from normal city sims.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Jeez. Let's just be real, here: 2001 was the best gaming will ever be. The sheer number of amazing and *legit* revolutionary titles on that list is staggering. Holy hell.
I'd probably have to go with FFX, though. But it's a tough call.

2001 was quite the year, and I can't pick a favorite so here's the finalists in my mind;
But even that is missing some of my favorites. Those 5 just really stood out as games I absolutely loved--and in some cases still love.
- Civilization III
- Final Fantasy X
- Grand Theft Auto III
- Super Smash Bros. Melee
- THPS 3

Black & White
Empire Earth
GTA 3
Gran Turismo 3
IL-Sturmovik
Max Payne
Metal Gear Solid 2
Operation Flashpoint
Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge
Silent Hill 2
Soul Reaver 2
SSX Tricky
Those are all the games I played and enjoyed. IL-Sturmovik probably got the most hours. Empire Earth had horribly broken AI that cheated unbelievably. Played a 2 vs 2 with my ex against the CPU and in 12 hours we couldn't finish them off.

Diablo 2: LOD followed by Devil May Cry and Baldur's Gate: ToB
In hindsight though, Devil May Cry offered the more unique experience overall (and immediate "WOW!" factor), since LOD just enhanced the gameplay that I'd been playing for a while anyway.
So edgy. It was one of the first PS2 games I bought, and I was bored to tears after about seven hours.

Would you say Lords of Destruction is still your favorite despite the unique experience Devil May Cry gave at the time?

How the hell am I suppose choose between Golden Sun, Ico, Mgs2, Devil May Cry and and and...
No, fuck no way, it's like having to pick your favorite son having five Nobel awarded children.
Hell what a year.

It's very difficult to choose between Max Payne, MGS2, SH2 and GTA3, some of my all time favourite games. Tricky and DMC were good too but they're in the echelon below.
I think I have to give it to GTA 3 for how incredible it was at the time, its impact and legacy and how it has endured: I played through it again recently and it's genuinely better then IV and V imo.

Silent Hill 2. What a magnificent game. Best use of fog in gaming history. To think that the definitive version of this game is still the PS2 version makes it even more special.

SSX Tricky was magnificent, best of the series I think.
Looking at the games listed, this was an amazing year.

Great year, but my favourite is Super Monkey Ball. Reaching the master mode is one amazing challenge that is among my top game memories. I was sweating so hard during Expert Extra, that my legs felt like they were freezing. Probably the most intense game moment I ever experienced.
