SCT without question.

The single greatest and most addicting online mode ever concieved.

When I think about this game's online mode, my anticipation for Halo 2's online mode is severely dashed because I know that cooperation and tactics will never exist in Halo 2 as much as they exist in SCT. It is the pinnacle of cooperative online gaming.

After SCT my nod goes to NG.

 

[Kseutron]

UT2K4

FAR CRY. I still need to finish my Death Race 9000 map. Although I like Team Ninja I just couldn't get myself excited about Ninja Gaiden, I don't have the resolve to trudge through a trail-and-error action game anymore. Shit, I think the only other new game I bought this year was La Pucelle. So Far Cry it is.

 

[Cmdr. Solrak]

I'm torn between Far Cry and UT2K4

 

[BlueLegs]

UT2K4 came to my mind before i even entered this thread. So much content for a game, it's unreal.

 

[AeroGod]

Psi-Ops or FarCry probably

 

[stonedwal]

Either UT2K4 or MGS: TTS

 

[Espio]

Pikmin 2 (Japanese).

 

[budala1]

Ninja Gaiden or Winning Eleven 7 or Far Cry or UT2k4 for me they are all game of the year

 

[Hooker]

UT2K4 untill Half-Life 2 arrives

 

[SpoonyBard]

Harvest Moon - A Wonderful Life.

 

[RiZ III]

PoP? Wasn't that this year?

 

[Baron Aloha]

Unreal Tournament 2004 - no doubt in my mind.

 

[The Faceless Master]

NG

 

[Oichi]

Psi Ops for me, with Ninja Gaiden a close second.

 

[Gregory]

RSC2.

 

[funcojoe]

I gotta go with Gaiden.

 

[Solid]

MGS:TTS for me. I want to say Eternal Darkness though since I played it this year.

 

[Rodriguez]

Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War

 

[Kunai]

Ninja Gaiden

 

[Mr. Lemming]

Four Swords or UT2k4

Edit: Now that it was mentioned I really liked Zero Mission too

 

[Shogmaster]

 

[Nerevar]

Ninja Gaiden so far, easily. Although that'll change once Q4 hits and the big guns come out.

 

[Uno Ill Nino]

Splinter Cell: PT for the online, hands down. Runner up goes to Full Spectrum Warrior.

 

[Keio]

Although Unreal Tournament 2004 is very much "just an update", it manages to round up everything that has happened in the 3d twitch shooting genre in the last decade. The basis is very pure, and added to that are loads of mods and good gametypes. 1st Half GOTY, but obviously there are so many potential winners in the 2nd half.

And runners up:

2. Sing Star
3. Metroid Zero Mission

 

[gunstarhero]

Me love you long time Ninny G.

 

[Razoric]

UT2K4
City of Heroes
Pandora Tomorrow

 

[ge-man]

Another vote for Ninja Gaiden. I was not a fan of Itagaki until I played this. I still don't care for the DOA games, but I'm hoping Itagaki keeps spreading wings in the action realm--he can certainly make a great action game.

There are few other I think are worth mentioning

Four Sword Adventures--This is what Crystal Chronicles should have been. For the last week or so I've been excited about getting home from work and school so I can play it--and this is just single player. I played two player with my brother over the weekend and it was an immense blast.

Rallisport Challenge 2--This game is just well done. It has a gentle learning curve so it is easy for anyone to get into (although I prefer a steeper curve like F-Zero's). The game is absolutely beautiful and it runs and 60 fps. I haven't played it online but there are enough things to do alone to make the game worthwhile.

I'll try Riddick this weekend and see if my mind changes. Considering all the buzz for the game, it looks the Riddick storyline made for better game than film.

 

[JavyOO7]

MVP 2004. Great stuff.

 

[ced]

Ninja Gaiden for me.

Thief and Riddick would be runners up so far.

 

[Chi-Town]

Ninja Gaiden

 

[hiryu]

UT2k4


Far Cry, Ninja Gaiden, and 4 swords would all be close runner ups.

 

[CrisKre]

In this order :

Four Swords
Metroid ZM
Ninja Gaiden

 

[Truelize]

Ninja Gaiden for sure.
With FFXI a very close second place.
Riddick and Full Spectrum Warrior were nice too.

 

[bogg]

Id have to say UT2K4. I've enjoyed MGS:TTS too. But so far, no game really blew my mind this year (only have a cube and a pc).

 

[Tritroid]

 

[Littleberu]

UT2k4.

 

[heavy liquid]

Ninja Gaiden.

 

[COCKLES]

Riddick

BECAUSE OTHER GAMES DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE FUCKING WITH!

 

[Coin Return]

1.UT2k4
2.Psi-Ops
3.RSC2
4.Ninja Gaiden

 

[Chopin Trusty Balls]

1.Far Cry
2.Riddick
3.Thief 3

Playing Panzers now,and if its as good as it is now,its a GOTY contender too

 

[Necroscope]

Ninja Gaiden

 

[CrimsonSkies]

Ninja Gaiden by a mile.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Katamari or Pikmin 2.

Both polished to perfection

 

[jarrod]

Right now it's Zero Mission, though Shining Force comes close. Mario Golf will probably take the top spot in a week.

 

[Sirolf]

Farcry,followed shortly by Ninja Gaiden and UT2K4!

 

[Slo]

UT2K4 by about a mile.

 

[lexbubble]

Safe bet with UT

but honestly, Psi Ops is really impressing me as of late.

 

[ikalugar]

Four Swords or Zero Mission get my vote.

 

[Trevelyon]

Currently running rings around the GOTY competition.
