Jesus christ, people still don't get it.

1. DO NOT LIST GAMES ALREADY LISTED. IT DOES NOTHING BUT MAKE ME WASTE TIME SIFTING THROUGH YOUR LIST. IF A GAME IS LISTED, IT AUTOMATICALLY MAKES IT INTO THE ACTUAL VOTING STAGE LATER ON.

2. THIS IS NOT A VOTE!

Add HALO 2!! I know it's a year old, but it's still AMAZING!

Halo 2 was last year, not getting in to this year's.

Please limit this to games released THIS year guys. WoW and HL2 are not new games.

However, most of WoW's content was released this year, including battlegrounds and the honor system. Its battlegrounds are as much of a complete game as BF2 is.

You are just going by release date? You should include WoW, it was released late in 2004. Most "Best of Year" awards go November - November to avoid the inherent problems with people not being able to try out the new items they are getting before Christmas.

    • Doing this type of stuff has pushed me away from using Edge even if I otherwise would've because it tells me Microsoft themselves don't trust the value provided to stand on its own. If Microsoft truly believed in the superiority of their offering, they wouldn't feel pressured to rely on cheap gimmicks and lock-ins to get people to use it. The more companies do this type of stuff, including making it difficult to cancel, the less I feel inclined to use their product because if they can't rely on the product itself for their needs, I shouldn't either.

    • All good features. But it is not an actual Windows app. I’d rather use the PWA. Meanwhile but versions - Classic and Modern - are full of bugs and inconsistencies. Yuck.
