IGN - Best games of 2004.

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I've played MGS, wasn't too bothered by Sons of Liberty so never bothered getting it, but Snake Eater does look a bit special.

No great surprises in there, though I like the fact Sly 2 made it in.

Half Life 2 takes all, it seems. Fairly strange San Andreas didn't actually win anything.

Thanks for the link, Impy.

I haven't played any of those and nearly none of them appeal to me in the first place. Guess I'm getting picky in my 'old age'. :p

ESPN IS better than Madden now.

And EA knows it so to be pricks they got an 'exclusive players union' contract that stipulates that in the future only Madden can use the actual player names in the game.

ESPN Improves itself every year.. Madden adds a new gimmick and says "LOOK SHINY NEW PACKAGING!"

I was surprised Halo 2 got as many as it did.

Common typo....

There should be a 't' after 'I', however, I do like the sound of me winning game of the year. So feel free to continue the praise...

No way. Madden still plays better than ESPN. The only thing ESPN has going for it is the $20 pricetag.
