Game of the year

It seems that there aren't going to be any major releases in what's left of 2004 so thought I'd make a game of the year poll.

So which was, among all platforms the best game of the year?

I have to say that although both Far Cry and, more recently, Half Life 2 blew my mind and I consider them to be among the best I've ever played I still have to give the prize to Doom 3. And if you say I'm biased then guilty as charged. Not only are the graphics fantastic but it's been a while (actually since Doom 2) that a game has brought me over and over again to the brink of having a heart attack. And I sure missed that feeling.

BTW, I don't play console games so although I crave GTA:SA I'll just have to wait untill June next year to have it on PC.

And I have to say, a rather poor year for driving sims having only TOCA 2 to show.

I can't vote for any of those.

I think there will be some who will ask why GTR isn't on the list - not me though.......

GTA San Andreas by miles, I suspect it could have been closer had GT4 been released.

I have a PS2, but I'm about to sell it cos I haven't used it for ages except to play DVDs.

I voted "other", because you obviously forgot about the biggest PC game release of the year... Football Manager 2005.

A pretty poor year for games really, I think the only one I've actually bothered to splash the cash on this year is Colin McRae 2005, I'm considering TOCA Race Driver 2 but I'm not 100% convinced by it. Is GTA:SA a big step on from Vice city? I ran out of enthusiasm on that before finishing it so I'm not dashing out to get San Andreas.

GTA: San Andreas for me, i'm not that impressed with racing games lately...
Not even *shock & gasp* games like GTR and GPL.

GTA SA is what I voted for, but I'd probably say Half Life 2 if I had a working copy. It looks awesome.

San Andreas.......overwhelming. After 100 hous of play, I'm still not bored (nor have I reached 100%).

Dissapointmemnt of the year: Halo 2. All the hype, all the delays for a game inferior to its preceding title.

I voted for San Andreas, haven't played it much but still it's the best game ever.

I was also disapointed with Halo 2.

yes it seems that the game will be released on other platforms but only after the "people" who have PS2s have played over and over and over again.

i've also noticed that it's been quite some time since a good F1 sim has hit the shelves. In fact, there were years when we had 3 or 4 releases. Could it be that F1 has lost so much appeal that nobody even bothers to make a new F1 game?

And the opinions aboul Halo 2 are quite surprising. To tell you the truth, I didn't think much of the first game but I heard so many people raving about Halo 2 that I thought it would be good.
