The Best Game This Year

SakSquash · 08-19-2005, 02:50 PM

What's the best game you've played this year? I know, the year is only a bit more than half over, but I was curious as to where everyone stood at the half mark. At the end of every year, I sit down and think "what was the best game I played this year?" So how about you? I still have to think about it, but i'll get back to you.

Do you mean a game released this year, or a game that I played this year (that could was released any time?).

Whoops! I forgot to mention that. Doesn't matter when it came out, just whatever you've played.

I haven't played that many games this year, but, so far, I'm going to say Psychonauts. It gave me a lot of frustration, though, with a couple sections, but overall, it's the most fun and entertaining game I've played in awhile.

~~That has to be Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. What a game And do yourself a favor and get the PC version. It is far superior than all the other versions if you use a gamepad~~

I am a moronic idiotic fool.

I forgot about Psychonauts. It's definitely Psychonauts.

Resident Evil 4.

Doesn't matter when it came out, eh? Mine - The Fool's Errand - is from 1987, then. Try to top that

SakSquash · 08-19-2005, 04:12 PM

I'm going to have to go with Half-life 2.

Kolzig · 08-19-2005, 04:33 PM

HMm, I'm going with Psychonauts. Tim, send me a postcard, ok?

Cool.

Psychonaut right now. My vote could likely change when Civ IV comes out end of the year.

BenjaminBunny · 08-19-2005, 05:29 PM

The best game that I've played for the first time this year has been Still Life.

You must not play many games then

Don't get me wrong, it was a good game, but the best?

Oh man I can't wait for civ 4. I have wasted so many days (and nights) playing the first 3, and the 4th one seems to address a lot of the gripes I had with the previous ones.

*shrugs*

I don't have the means to run out and buy every game that comes out, and I really only buy adventures.

The only other new games I bought this year were Amerzone, Syberia 1 and 2, Dark Age of Camelot, and Medal of Honor.

Thief Gold, although that was a replay, so I'll have to go with Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Beyond Good and Evil brings in second place.

Haven't played any 2005 releases yet.

Lucien21 · 08-19-2005, 10:05 PM

Resident Evil 4

sethsez · 08-19-2005, 10:21 PM

Best: Resident Evil 4

Most interesting: Killer 7

Capcom's been on a roll.
