How do I pick, this feels even harder than 1998 to choose a winner.
Ranked on greatness:
1. Half-Life 2, introducing the gravity gun and physics based puzzles. Brilliant sequel pushing the shooter genre forward.
(Plus shooting toilet bowls and radiators at people in HL2 death match never gets old)
Half-Life 2 also dragged PC into the digital age, tying the most anticipated sequel to Steam was both evil and brilliant.
2. Burnout 3: Takedown, my favorite Burnout game, best hot seat crash junctions as well.
Great selection of tracks next to heated competition over setting the highest scores in crash mode.
3. Paper Mario TTYD: Loved it start to finish, wish it were even longer. Great adventure.
4. World of Warcraft didn't become the biggest MMORPG for nothing, absolute amazing and even had Mario and Luigi make a cameo appearance.
We played this game together for over 3 years, almost daily.
5. GTA: San Andreas, my favorite GTA game, it needs a proper remake. (And maybe I can finish it this time, it got too hard for me)
The way San Andreas opens up is done really well, never overwhelming, yet in the end it's 3 proper towns to play in plus some villages.
6. Gran Turismo 4: First time the Nordschleife appears in its full glory, with 1080i output as well. Still the best campaign for any GT game.
7. MGS3: My favorite Metal Gear Solid game, was even better in the remaster without the fixed camera angles.
8. Far Cry: Amazing when it came out, open world done right, before all the filler clutter took over.
9. Katamari Damacy: Ack the music is stuck in my head again, brilliant concept well executed.
10. Fable: The first one is still my favorite in the series, such a nice surprise at the time. Looked great as well.
Runners up
Doom 3: Actually my favorite Doom game, I enjoyed the slower paced gameplay. Amazing graphics for the time as well.
Jak 3: Great end to the series, however I didn't play it until the ps3 collection. Good games stay good forever.
Ratchet and Clank: Up your arsenal, another great entry, consistently great series.
Halo 2: So much fun playing in co-op.
The Sims 2: Adding genetics to see what your babies could look like
The first 5 are in my all time top 50, tied with 1998 (yet those are a bit higher up in my top 50, 1998 stays on top)
Since the highest in my top 50 for 2004 in HL2, my vote will go there.
