At first glance, it didn't seem like a great year (only a solid one). However, reading some of the posts here, there are actually some very notable releases: FreeSpace 2, Jagged Alliance 2, Crash Team Racing, Age of Empires II, among others... I should probably vote for Heroes of Might and Magic III, but since I haven't played it (yet!), I'll go against my better judgement and vote for FreeSpace 2 instead. There seems to be a surprisingly strong case for HoMM3, but I can't bring myself to vote for it since I haven't played it (the same goes for Jagged Alliance 2), and while I love Crash Team Racing, I don't think it's as significant a release as FreeSpace 2 was (it's still very highly regarded in its genre, more so that CTR, I think).

If you haven't played a Heroes of Might and Magic game, I would make it the next game you play.  My personal favorite is HoMM 2, but HoMM 3 is also a fantastic game, and it's the one that is easily the most popular.  Basically if you have ever liked a fantasy themed strategy game, then you should definitely play one of these HoMM games ASAP.

Probably not happening, as unfortunate as it is. My backlog is gigantic, and while HoMM3 ranks fairly high on my backlog, I doubt it actually has much chance any time soon. I'm definitely interested, but there are simply too many other games I'm even more interested in.
