2001, Game of the Year (Runoff)

[UnderwaterFunktown]

I have to go with Sons of Liberty, though in some ways I might consider Melee a better game in a vacuum, it just doesn't have as much draw for me after Brawl and Ultimate that surpass it in my eyes. My top 5 for the year would be:

1. Sons of Liberty
2. SSB Melee
3. Silent Hill 2
4. Final Fantasy X
5. Luigi's Mansion/Pikmin (can't decide)

Also have to give shoutouts to Golden Sun.

Halo I actually played for the first time recently. Mostly pretty fun, especially the vehicles, but the checkpoints are a travesty.
