I've just started having some time for gaming and have recently gotten into Metroid Prime. I have to say it is AMAZING!!! It is not flawless like I've heard some people say but, it is great. Easily the best game I've played this year.

I'd say Metroid Prime, but that might just be because it's in recent memory.

Otherwise,
Super Mario Sunshine
Vice City
Animal Crossing
WarCraft 3

you don't own a gmecube/x-box do you?

Well, my favorites:
PC:
Warcraft 3 ("what are you doing? sucseeeding you father")

PS2:
Suidoken3-ahh, collect them all!!!

Gamecube:
Metroid Prime. Not out in europe yet, I borrowed an US-gamecube from a friend to beat it, but this one is THE GAME of the year on all platforms.

X-Box:
Splinter Cell:
Fairly old-fashioned gameplay, but this, toghether with prime and UT2003 is the best looking game of the year. And at least this year, that's enough for me. If this stayed x-box exclusive I'd get the box maybie...

My favorite game of 2002 is METROID PRIME!!!

This game is what all game companies TRY to make! As for 2nd and 3rd. Resident Evil 0 is 2nd and 3rd place goes to Splinter Cell for the Xbox. It's good too, but it's no Metroid Prime or RE0!

Fighting game of 2002 goes to KOF2002!! Great game!! I can't wait to play it more!

Metroid Fusion is essentially Super Metroid with a little less exploration and more bitchin' tough bosses. It's still hella fun and great if you're a fan of Super Metroid. I personally don't have the patience for those kinds of games anymore. <shrug>

Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion are the best. To my knowledge, no other series in existance has maintained such an incredibly high level of quality, and these two are perfect examples.

By the way SA-X isn't Samus from Super Metroid, just her armor. You'll see what I mean when you play it for those of you that haven't. ;)

There's also Kingdom Hearts, which I thoroughly enjoyed, Age of Mythology, UT2003, and of course KOF 2002.

Mostly rehashes, I know... the good was pretty easy to tell from the bad this year.

"Re(4):It has been a good year i guess.. ~" , posted Thu 19 Dec 07:10post reply


Well here are my picks..

Dreamcast
Ikaruga
- I loved the concept of this shooter, unlike other mindless shooter this title shuld be the only shooting game that uses alittle bit more tactics and strategy on taking out those enemies.

King Of Fighter 2000/2001
- Nuff'said. You guys know it too. Great ports to the dreamcast. Although KOF2000 shuld have been better if Playmore put in more effort. I mean come'on, the loading screen simply looks crappy. Any 8 year old could make those using adobe and "Tada!!" you get an amatuer looking KOF2000 wallpaper.

Gameboy Advance
Golden Sun 2
- I'm a fan of Shining Force styled battle

Street Fighter Zero Upper
- This small little handheld fighter is amazingly detailed. Everything is intact including its feel. The peeps who did the crappy KOF for GBA shuld learn frm Capcom.

PLaystation 2
Tales of Destiny 2
- No doubt this is a great game although the story and plot is alittle flawed. But hey, it packs lots of mini games and sub quest that will entertain you for quite sometime.

Shin Contra
- Classic gaming in the new generation at its best.

Shinobi
- Yeah i know, lots of people complain abt this game being too freakin' hard. I was annoyed too, but which shinobi was'nt hard? The difficulty totally reminds me of the days when im still mashing my C button (If you forgot.. its the classic jump button) on the Megadrive Shinobi. Maybe it's alittle repetitive on the methods of fighting those darned bosses. I guess they could do abit of twitching on that for future sequels.

Kingdom Hearts [Original/Final Mix]
- Nice game, but i guess it would be alot more better if its just a Squaresoft Only production. Nevertheless, i still enjoyed it. Tetsuya Nomura's designs and ideas are always interesting to me.

Wahhh! Supermetroid is the best!
No really, I own every metroid game except for Prime (not out in europe yet, have to borrow it from a friend INCLUDING his us-gamecube)

You can't really compare Prime with the others, but between Fusion and Super I allways go with Super Metroid. I mean the non-linear design was allways the greates thig about Metroid, you know? Yes, Fusion has a much better story, but Super Metroid- man they'll never make anything so damn dramatic like the fight agains motherbrain in Super Metroid. Never! And simply the feeling- I'm not strong enough, I'll come with better equipment is much more satisfying because of the non-linearity of super.

The Crazy picks are:

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2. The first one was one of all time favs, and this one beautifully brought to an advanced system.

Warcraft 3. I suck at it and never got around to finishing it. But after seeing Two Towers, and the Ents, been thinking about it more now.

Unreal Tournament 2003. Yeah I know a lot of people don't care for this game, but until this one I never liked a FPS. I love the whole motif they used for this one, not quite Quake, but heavy on the fantastic side nonetheless. I still suck at shooters, but enjoy playing this one.

Neverwinter Nights. Hopefully I will get back to it someday, but too much good stuff keeps distracting me.

Mechassualt. Because it was my first XBox game, and I loved it. It is what I am playing now. [Yes, I got the Box for XMas]

But my all time favorite game for the year, the one that I like to go back to and blow steam on...



Mark of Kri
This game got NO love from Sony when it was released! Only after the critics heaped praise on it, did it occur to Sony to promote it. And the worst crime? THEY friggin' made the game in house! I love this game and highly recommend you guys give it a rental try. Won't matter if you buy it now, Sony already said it didn't sell well enough to warrant a sequel.

Damn them and their anti import playing stance! That is two crimes I now hold them responsible for! Arrggh!!

[Shakes fist as he walks off, thinking about what he looks forward to next year in gaming. Hey an idea for a post!]

Here's mine..

In terms of design and production values:

Metroid Prime
GTA: Vice City
Animal Crossing
- More people should play this game...

Virtua Fighter 4 - The best fighter this year, I would have played it more if I had more human competition and fewer other games to play.

Personal Favorites:

Shinobi - I'm a big fan of this title. My game is suspended on 4-B with Joe Musashi on Super difficulty... I think it'll stay there for a while.

Dynasty Tactics - I loves me some tactics.

Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis - not the best SRPG ever, but the best on GBA so far (until FFTA at least)

Mega Man Zero - Really great MM game... but I'm waiting for the GCGBA player to finish it.

And others, but these are what sproinged to mind.

Animal Crossing can best be described as Hello Kitty meets The Sims meets the furniture collection part of Castlevania:Harmony of Dissonance. It's a life sim (in the loosest sense of the term) where you are a human who has just moved to a randomly generated village populated by animals. There, you can buy stuff, sell stuff, fish, run errands, play NES games, dig for fossils, create clothing, collect insects, decorate your house, plant a garden, write letters, etc. The game also uses the Gamecube's internal clock to keep time and date so that everything is real time and so that real world holidays, such as Halloween appear in sync with the real world. The NPC's are all different types of animals, all with First Grade reading comprehenshion skills and kleptomaniacal tendencies, but they're overall really fun "people", each with their own personality and habits. The graphics are N64 level; the sound is SNES quality, but still quite good, with great variety.
