Another vote for RIDDICK!!! Simply an amazing game on all levels.

Rome: Total war

Halo 2, no question.

My opinions on the other nominees I played:

Burnout 3 - fun, but shallow (sold it)

Riddick - fun, but I got tired of looking for people in the prison. Too "fetch questy" for me. I only got about 5 hours into the game though...

GTA: SA - while I was enjoying this, Halo 2's release forced me to drop it and I haven't looked back. Since then, I've got Resident Evil 4 to offset Halo 2. Not much interest into getting back into GTA.

Metroid Prime 2: Got about halfway through the first and dropped it. Too difficult in spots and kinda boring in the grand scheme of things.

Half-Life 2: Played the demo. Didn't seem interesting enough to upgrade my PC to make it playable. I think I'm done with PC gaming.

UT2004: I played this for a few months but ultimately it was too random for me. A big appeal of Halo 2 is playing with people I know on a regular basis. None of my friends picked up UT.

Halo 2 definitely.

A distand second would be Ninja Gaiden (That was 2004 right?)

World of Warcraft

weird. it says I've already voted.
WoW for me.
picked up MGS2 and havent touched it at all becase of WoW

World of Warcraft

yeah, but it's got that speed burst thing so you don't waste so much time jogging everywhere. that's a huge plus, in my book

I just used Knight Speed or whatever it was called in the first game to do the same thing.

World of Warcraft... of course i'm biased.

I just noticed your location...are you saying you work for Blizzard?

I wish for the KOTOR series they would do like they did with Shenmue and take the cutscenes and make a movie from it because i would really like to see the storyline,but i just dont feel like playing the game.

Of course Halo2

Riddick is a close second

Wouldn't even think about voting for Grand Theft Crackpipe.

Ouch. Results quite unsettling. Alot different then GAF I see.

I voted R&C 3 as it was the most fun I had with a videogame (other than multiplayer Halo 2) all year. Riddick and Burnout 3 were close contenders, but R&C 3 is the only game I played through 2 1/2 times. I have and haven't played MGS3, MP2, and PM:TYD.

I hvae to go with Halo 2. When I sit back and think about the game and analyze it, there are a lot of things that could be better. There are several things I don't like. And yet, when I go out to pick a game to just sit and play for awhile, I always pick it.

Glad to see Halo2 at number 1

Where's the PC games in that poll?

Or did I just peruse over them

HL2. Hands Down.

Well, after about two weeks of studying the poll, I must conclude that the DVDtalk forum's Game of the Year is... Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater! Halo 2 comes in at a distant second.

In all seriousness though, the people have spoken. Halo 2 is by far the favorite here.

Now, here's the million dollar question: If it wasn't for Halo 2's Live multiplayer, would it still be number one?

no shit? I didn't even know there is one! does it come later in the game? I'm only about half-way through. in KOTOR2 you can do the knight spped thing from the beginning.
