Thought I'd steal this idea from PC Gaming.

Dunno if anyone's done it all ready, but here's how it goes:

- 1 VOTE EACH
- ONLY GAMES RELEASED IN 2004 CAN BE CONSIDERED
- VOTES IN BOLD

And of course feel free to add why you support game or destroy someone else's suggestion.
:)

I'll keep a tally going. I start this now, because the year is drawing to a close and looking back, this year's been better than usual for decent games.

The categories are:

- SPORTS
- SHOOT 'EM UP
- RPG
- RACING
- PLATFORMER
- FOREIGN

and of course the golden coverted:

- OVERALL


Note:

GTA: SA amongst other games may not fit into a category. It will later be considered for the OVERALL best game though.

Erm... maybe it's just me, but I don't think Ratchet & Clank 3 is an RPG by any stretch of the imagination...

Well my nominees would be Final Fantasy XI, and Ace Combat 5.

Unfortunately both would have to go in the 'foreign' category, especially as you haven't allowed for a game like AC5 in any of the other categories.

FFXI may have gotten a PS2 release this year but it's been out since 2003 on PC (and even earlier in Japan) so I have to say game of the year is:

Ace Combat 5

I want categories! Now Clazon, now!

Otherwise - Disgaea

However, including pre-2004, my game of the year is Final Fantasy X / IX. Just started playing FFX again, after wiping my (roughly) 90% complete save.

It's a shame, I've always had something obstructing completing any FF. It's odd.

You see, I didn't actually vote for anything. Thus negating the rule of using bold.

Ironically enough, I have a split decision, myself.

Rachet and Clank 3
San Andreas
Pro Evo 4

Decisions, decisions.
