YOUR Video Game Awards

The thread right below this one gave me the idea for this.

Nominate your personal selections for the best games of the year. I want this to be a bit different than other "Best of the Year" awards, though. Don't limit your selections to things released this year. What are the best games you played this year? It could be something released in 1997, and if this year was the first time you played it, list it.

Don't go nominating something you either haven't played or haven't actually tested in person. In other words, don't go nominating Metroid prime 2 or Metal Gear Solid 3 if your haven't played them. Reading a review and deciding that it's the game of the year based on that is lame.

Maybe I'll come back later and fill some more in... I'm a little behind at work.

I think they meant.. 2004 Bob

Did you not read the opening paragraph?

I didn't say "list the best games released this year," I said "list the best games you played this year." I doubt there's anyone here but me(and possibly one or two others) who could actually fill out that entire list using games that were only released this year. I couldn't even do it, because I played no PC games this year.

Nope, I didn't. I can't read things Raziel writes with that.. that cheese moose looking at me.
