The best year for gaming?
Posted: November 17th, 2004 | Author: Simon | Filed under: Clippings | Comments Off2004 might prove to become one of the best years for gaming in a long long while. So many great titles are being released that some of these are without doubt going to be lost in all the noise.
Just the last few months we have seen games like Burnout 3, Ratchet & Clank III, Paper Mario 2, Pikmin 2, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Halo 2, and Half-Life 2.
The interesting thing to notice here is that they are all sequels. And generally there are better, or a least on par with it predecessor. So this year might also be the beginning of the end of original IP. A few years from now we’ll just have Halo 2006, Grand Theft Auto XP, and… wait, what do you mean we already have that?
And the biggest question of them all; what will be Game of the Year?
UPDATE:
Game Rankings have complied a list of the best and worst games of the past three years.
