Quboid Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Best Overall: Ohh ... CoD, CM0304 or Simcity 4. Probably Simcity 4. Best Graphics: Max Payne 2 Best Gameplay: CoD Best Concept: CM0304 - football management modeled perfectly. Biggest Surprise: Vietcong, maybe X2 Biggest Flop: Republic: The Revolution. Freelancer a close second (thanks for the reminder Castcast, not sure if you wanted it on the flop list :) ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xRKx Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Hrm... Let me see here... 1. Overall: Call of Duty - hands down the best overall game of 2003 to me. 2. Graphics: again, Call of Duty. It may not have had the most detailed graphics or anything - but it did better than any other game I played for really immersing me into the experience. 3. Gameplay: GTA: Vice City. I still can't put the game down - playing both the PC and Xbox versions now. 4. Concept: Nothing new really conceptually impressed me at all this year. 5. Surprise: Chrome - it's gotten such a bad rap from people - but I think it's a blast. Also Simpsons Hit & Run. Not the greatest game ever, but a complete surprise. 6. Flop: Enter the Matrix, Tron 2.0, Deus Ex: IW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimGuy Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Best Overall: - Unreal Tournament 2003 (yes, I know, was released 2002, but its' still one of, if not, the best FPS available, next to UT99 & Quake 3 of course).
