Seeing as this year is almost wrapped up, I'd want to know what everyone thought as there personal favourite game released this year.
Mine goes to Tekken 5 hands down, best Tekken yet. It brought more life into a series that still hadnt changed much from Tekken 2. I find it hard to imagine someone disliking Tekken as it has definately evolved into something better than before.
Maple Story, I still looooove it :)
and set myself back 86 aud on cash shop nx cash.
Probably Shadow Hearts: Covenant. Though I've not played a great deal of games this year.
I really liked Magna Carta and Digital Devil Saga 2, but this years game that really blew me away was Killer7. Man what an ending!!!
Guild Wars! :D Or if Call of Duty came out this year :p
CoD2 did.Quote:

I didn't even bother trying to run any new games on my computer this year. I did enjoy DoD:Source, but since it runs like crap I didn't even bother. I've been playing a lot of DS games this year. I'd say the best one has been Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.
POKéMON Emerald. :)
World of Warcraft (febuary 11th for the uk), followed closely by Soul Calibur 3.
This year wasn't that impressive for me. I'm lookin forward to next year what with the DQ8 UK release, FF12 and KH2
Metal Gear: AC!D
Battlefront 2 (PS2)
Timesplitters 3
Lumines
I think I'll have to go with Shadow of the Colossus for this one, or maybe Resident Evil 4.
WoW (Out earlier, but I only got it this year.)
RE4
Magna Carta: Tears of Blood
Soul Calibur 3

An excellent game, and one I simply can't put down. The course design is fantastic, the handling is superb, and the difficulty level is spot on. Just when I thought Mario Kart couldn't get any better, Nintendo game along and released this beauty. The only major gripe I have with this game is that the original Koopa Troopa Beach course from the Nintendo 64 version of Mario Kart isn't included in the retro track section. 'Twas my favourite course, you see.
And that's my favourite game of 2005. Classic Nintendo goodness.
(WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 comes in at a close second).
F.E.A.R. was good, Shadow of the Colossus was good, Resident Evil 4 was good, We <3 Katamari was good, Devil May Cry 3 was good, Ninja Gaiden Black was good (not sure if that really counts though), Soul Calibur III was good, Dragon Quest VIII was good, Guild Wars was alright while it lasted, Battlefield 2 was good, FFIVA was good, Minish Cap was incredible.
A lot of stuff was good, but I don't know if there was any one game that completely blew everything away. That said, I think Minish Cap was the game of the year. It's Zelda so I almost have to do it. The level design was wildly original and the somewhat quirky version of Hyrule worked really well. Shadow of the Colossus gets props for being original and having the best ending ever in any video game, Battlefield 2 gets points for the awesomeness it constantly delivers, and F.E.A.R. gets points for combining two genres that really didn't seem like they would mix.
I agree. It's so addictive. It's like crack...not that I know anything about crack. :)Quote:

Hmm, ive played [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]loads of games this year!
Among the best ones:
Tales of Symphonia
FF1&2 Dawn of Souls
Final Fantasy IV Advance
Resident Evil 4 GCN
Xenosaga Ep 2
>.< I cant think of any others, but hey, I AM drunk right now..
Metal Gear Solid 3.
Living in europe and all.
Tekken 5 has some bad voiceovers, plus, the story mode is a bit stupid.
My vote goes to..
Pokemon Emerald.
Got it for X-mas but it's the only game I remember having so much playability value.
I had to quote that, expressed my feelings entirely.Quote:

Resident Evil 4 and Lumines.
Resident Evil 4 or God of War.
I'm very sure that was the game deserving 2004 game of the year.Quote:

Devil May Cry 3, God of War, Pokemon Emerald or Tekken 5.
Pingu Extreme!!!
Shadow of the Colossus is my pic. An admirable second place for God of War.
I spent most of my gaming time playing GTA: San Andreas. I know it wasn't released this year, but it's my game of the year.
I would have to say Resident Evil 4 or Dragon Quest VIII. Both were really good.
Resident Evil....FOUR!
A tie between
The movies
Call of duty 2: Big red one and
FFIV Advance
I'd say Kingdom Hearts 2 if I'd actually played more of it than just a little minigame, but noooooo. I do like where it's going though, from what I've been watching :)
Hmmm... Haven't really beaten any games as of late... being the lazy arse I am :p
God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, or Resident Evil 4. All high class games. :love:
Resident Evil 4 or Shadow of the Colossus or Prince of Persia The Two Thrones.
I enjoyed them all in different ways so I can't pick.
Resident Evil 4 ^________________^ And Devil May Cry 3 Those games are a challenge, but are soo much fun. *rocket launcherness*
GOD OF WAR
Resident Evil 4 100%:D
resident evil four and lucifers call
Shadow Hearts Covenant or World of Warcraft for me.
God Of War
Shadow of the Colossus
Mario Kart DS
Resident Evil 4
Psychonauts
Shadow of the Colossus.
Yeah, that one.Quote:

I can't say they were the best 2005 had to offer, but the ones I had more fun with were Radiata Stories and Soul Calibur III.
Yes.Quote:

Yeah, MGS3 was my game of the year for 2004 since I live in America: land of the free and home of the Snake.
I somewhat suspect your game of 2005 will be my game of 2006.Quote:

Thank god I went to the bother of importing it.Quote:

Shadow Of The Colossus is a masterpiece, so it gets the win. Devil May Cry 3 is a close second. (It's not as hard as people say it is...)
Yeah, I've heard of Pro Evolution Soccer before, just I forget where... OPM, maybe...Meh, I just play Winning Eleven 8.
Mine favourite would have been final fantasy 4 advanced however this did not come out in pal teretories. so i bought final fantasy anthology instead
RE4 wins.
Yeah i heard that RE4 was good really good
Great, but overrated.......
nope, just that great :D
Super Smash Bros. Melee. Wait, that was last year...so this year will be Mario Party 4! Well, I guess since it's only been 4 days into the new year and I just got it...

A toss up between Quake 4 and Dungeon Siege 2. I confidently predict, however, the game of 2006 will be Oblivion without a shadow of a doubt.
Definetly Shadow of the Colossus for me. I mean there were other great games this year (Resident Evil 4, Dragon Quest VIII, among others), but for me, Shadow of the Colossus was just to great to put into words. I just beat it tonight and was left with a feeling of joy and sadness.
Dragon Quest VIII
Shadow Of The Colossus
Burnout Revenge
God Of War
I'm gonna have to say resident evil 4 and Tekken 5. They're just too awsome!
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness is pretty smurfing awesome.
Its gotta be Xenosaga Episode 2. Then God of War, Tekken Five. All who do not agree are squares
It's a toss up between Shadow of the Colossus and God of War for me. I'm leaning more towards God of War since it was difficult in comparison to Shadow of the Colossus when just the normal gameplay is taken into consideration, and I like challenges as long as they don't make me want to shatter the discs into multiple pieces...which it still had its moments where I got pretty pissed, but maybe that's a good thing. I find most newer games too easy to beat and unlock stuff.
Oh, Indigo Prophecy was also pretty good.
Final Fantasy 1V:) and Legend of Zelda the Minish Cap :tongue:
That was a toughy :mastersha :frylock:
Definitley Killer7. How refreshing.
oh man a tough nut, it's either Resident Evil 4 or Prince of Persia The Two Thrones.
Or maybe It's Final Fantasy Ultimate Warfare.
I can't decide between
Shadow the Hedgehog
King of Fighter 2002/2003 (came out on consoles in 2005 so it counts)
Resident Evil 4
Dragon Quest VIII
Shadow of the Colossus for a slew of reasons. The most important being that it got me back into gaming. I dropped from a serious gamer, to a casual gamer, to a gamer-not for a long time. I finally picked it up, and OMG what a masterpiece. Everything in that game is a work of art, from the way the grass moves, to how a crow sounds as you gallop past, or how you handle your horse. It was unique, and a step in the right direction for changing the way video games are supposed to be.
Honorable mention goes to my second choice, Indigo Prophecy. It was what I've always wanted: a great big interactive movie. It was thrilling beyond all belief to have so much control, to feeling so much a part of the story. The only reason this didn't get my pick is the end portion. Sure, there's multiple endings... all of which are relatively the same. If they would have worked a little more on that last hour of the game, I would also label it a masterpiece.
I like Dragon quest 8
Tekken 5 hands down.
Mario Kart DS, Shadow of the Colossus, DragonQuest VIII
ffIV advance
Shadow of the Colossus.
