Out of all the big releases this year, which will end up being the better game:

- Paper Mario 2
- Metal Gear Solid 3
- Doom III
- Half Life II
- GTA: San Andreas
- Silent Hill 4
- Burnout 3
- Ratchet And Clank 3
- GT4
- Jak III
- Fable
- HALO 2
- Prince of Persia II
- Metriod Prime 2
- Jade Empire
- Pikmin 2

My pick: HALO 2 with Half-Life2 as a runner up.

DCX

 

[Baron Aloha]

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (the first one was sheer perfection, imo)
Runner up: Doom 3 (PC)

GOTY thus far and likely to stay that way = UT2K4

 

[shibbs]

Probably HL2, Halo2 or GT4 but i hope Fable is gonna be awesome.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Not having MGS3 on the list makes the decision much easier. GT4.

 

[TheGreenGiant]

lemme gaze into my crystal boob.

no cube games you little bitch.

PIKMIN 2 > *

 

[dark10x]

You missed two of the best candidates...MGS3 and Metroid Prime 2...

 

[DCX]

fixed

DCX

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Metroid Prime 2, Paper Mario 2, and Metal Gear Solid 3 should be there.

Halo 2 is my pick, and then Metroid Prime 2.

Edit: Looks like they're in .

 

[puck1337]

HL2
PoP2
Paper Mario 2

 

[Cubsfan23]

Halo 2

 

[MightyHedgehog]

How do you expect people to like that list?
Are you crazy?
Let's all vote on a list of games and then decide what goes in.
Or are you just really interested in these games?
2 more additions: Jade Empire and B.C., please.

 

[6.8]

Mark my words, they will all be overrated.

 

[Littleberu]

Even if Halo 2 is bad, people are gonna say : "Change is good, they made the right choice", etc...

But I'm gonna say watch Half Life 2 and Jak 3. Oh and Metroid Prime 2 of course.

 

[Prine]

Halo 2 - Single player will be awesome no doubt, but multiplayer is going to be its main strength. Now that its online, theres no stopping Halo (With XBL 3 launching simultaniously)

Runner up - Fable (bacause of Danny Elfman )

 

[Deg]

Half Life 2 = main pc game.
GTA San Andreas = main console game.

 

[BlueLegs]

GOTY - Metroid Prime Echoes
Runner up - Half Life 2

 

[Xizk]

Half-Life 2

 

[Andy787]

Half-Life 2.

Regardless, that's probably the best list of titles any single year has ever seen in videogames, imo, and that's not even including quite a number of others coming/already this year.

 

[Insertia]

Toss up between GT4 and Half Life 2.

 

[DCX]

I talking about the BETTER game, not hype, not "inflated" scores, but the game that will deliver in terms of a combination betyween, natural control, engaging gameplay, presentation/enviornments, and story. I still believe HALO 2 can and will deliver on all these fronts, so will Half-Life II. I have a feeling we'll see more games like Doom III which showcases but is very shallow. IMO

DCX

 

[Lakitu]

- Metal Gear Solid 3
Runner up: HALO 2

 

[Brofist]

GT4
GTA:SA runner up

 

[Solid]

Halo 2.

Runner up: Metal Gear Solid 3.

This will be the best fall/winter ever

so why did you put JIII, R+C III, Burnout 3 and SH4 on that list. I think HALO 2 and HL2 will probably be carried by a lot of hype, with HALO 2 having a better carry through ratio. The fact that we've seen very little of single player halo 2 has me a little concerned though. Doom II? Come back when you're done in the past.

Why isn't Pikmin 2 on that list?

 

[RevenantKioku]

Suikoden IV, Shin Megami Tensei 3, and Digital Devil Saga!
Okay, I'll go back to my little world now.

Are you assuming that Jak III, Ratchet and Clank III or Burnout couldn't be the best game this season? What info backs this statement up? There are people who would say Animal Crossing was the best game when it came out...for them, so i'm sure there's going to be some Burnout love on these boards as there seems to be alot of Pikmin love too. Who knows, we all could be wrong and " The Guy Game " win destroy all!!

[BeOnEdge]

I'm almost positive i'll have the most fun with burnout 3 on LIVE then GTASA. I'm getting halo 2 but i dont like the first one at all except for multiplayer. halo 2 should own on LIVE.

I knew you would back me up

[lochnesssnowman]

That list of games is class, this will be some winter.

For me, I guess, the games I'm really looking at are Metroid Prime 2, Halo 2, Paper Mario 2, Jade Empire, Pikmin 2 and Half Life 2. In no order.

I don't have LIVE so I really hope the single player on Halo 2 is on par with the first game.

 

[disabledHeliocentric]

Metroid Echoes, MGS 3, Paper Mario 2, a TBA sony platformer(whichever turns out the best), Half Life 2.

 

[Mooreberg]

Half-Life 2

 

[Kon Tiki]

Single Player:
Half Life 2
Metroid Prime 2

Multiplayer:
Counter Strike 2
Burnout 3
Halo 2

 

[drohne]

halo 2 will soundly outclass anything on that list. but gradius v is the presumptive goty.

 

[olimario]

Metroid Prime 2 is the obvious GOTY choice. MP is the highest rated game this generation so far.

Really? I don't hear alot about MP though. I have to give it whirl...i own it and never played it

Soul Calibur says you're wrong.

Owning MP and never played it is like paying a hooker to play Monopoly with you.

 

[olimario]

DC isn't this generation. It's stuck somewhere between N64 and PS2.

How about... no?

 

[Kon Tiki]

It is this generation.

 

[olimario]

How do you judge generation? timeframe? graphics?
If so, I dont see how DC can be considered this generation.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Saturn was competing against PSX, Dreamcast was competing against PS2. Pretty simple.

LOL I have ALOT of games and i have a HUGE back log, included on that list is Vice City, MPO, Wind Wakker, Nights of The Old Republic...i know, i know... I'll get on MP right away.

[User 406]

Dynasty Warriors 4: Empires of course.

[SyNapSe]

Halo 2 & HL2

With Honorable mentions to MP: Echoes, and MGS3 (I don't like the genre really, but it looks incredible)

 

[Defensor]

Half Life 2 = main pc game.
GTA San Andreas = main console game.

This looks about right. Although my pick would go to:

 

[clipunderground]

As a single player game:

METROID PRIME: ECHOES

As a multiplayer game:

HALO 2

 

[Dagless M.D.]

Half Life 2, singleplayer and multiplayer. It shall kick ass.

 

[SA-X]

Halo 2 stands above everything else. Too close to pick a clear runner up though.
