The game of the year 2005

Remove all ads!

Your fav/top game of 2005
Mine is for sure Splinter Cell3: Chaos Theory
followed by Civilization 4.

 

For me, F.E.A.R. followed by The Movies. But there weren't very many great games released this year. Those two plus Fable were the only ones I can remember really getting into.

 

Fahrenheit - Even though it began to stumble towards the end, but still the best of 2005.

 

Don't think I actually played many games that were released this year.

God of War and Mercenaries were excellent.

 

Definitely F.E.A.R.

 

The only game I bought that was released this year was Civ IV and I hate it, it's nowhere near Civ III let alone the immaculate Civ II; in fact I'm going to give it to my mother.

 

Hearts of Iron 2 by Paradox Entertainment. A WWII strategygame a bit on the heavier side for those of you who don't recognize the title.

 

Dragon Quest VIII for the ps2 is a pretty solid game actualy. I'm might be wrong, but was KOTOR II released in 04' or 05'?

 

Ghost Recon 2: Summit strike for xbox and Spartan: Total Warrior for xbox as well!

 

Resident Evil 4, no contest.

 

Rome total war: Barbarian Invasion

 

I can't even think of any games released in 2005, let alone any that I have played or bought.

The most recently released game that I have played is Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark. Seeing as I bought that in 2005, that is my game of 2005.

 

Since I haven't followed what has happened at the PS2 side, I'll say my piece just about PC games. Truth to tell, there wasn't too many of them worth even mentioning. A number of frag'em'ups and hack'n'slashes like Fable and Doom 3, but not much else. Civ 4, at least, was a nice try but not exactly superior in any area. At the moment, I can think only of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 and Space Rangers 2, both of which are sequels and pretty good. Not classic, but decend enough for a bit longer playing. Both have their faults, but they're probably the best what PC-game markets had to offer.

 

God of War. KotOR2 should've made it a close call but since it was so damn buggy and they scrapped so much good stuff, it was taken ou of the running.

 

F.E.A.R. or COD 2....bf2 would be an option if it wasn't so laggy

 

I only bought one game in 2005: Stronghold II (I think), which turned out to be a bit of a let-down. But I received four games for Christmas: Age of Empires III, Dungeon Siege II, Age of Mythology Gold Edition (which is not a new game), and Vampire: Bloodlines. So far Vampire is the best of the lot - it's seems very good. So, Vampire would be my pick for 2005; although I will have to try FEAR at some point later, since it seems to be highly rated here.

 

Silent Storm Sentinels - just shading Chaos League.

 

Half Life 2, without a doubt is the best game of the year for me.
Although I have't played alot of the games mentioned above.

 

Chandos, you should try out F.E.A.R. It has a great atmosphere that just, imho, sucks you in.

 

I like HL2 also, but it is not as good as the original game, despite the flashy graphics (it came out in 2004, btw). Steam has been a real problem on my system as well.
