[krondike]

What game are the best that's ever been released 2004? Not gonna start a voiting becuase I might miss some game, but I can list a few games that's I know if might not be the best of my opinion but do have lots of fans and in there perspective they might think it is the best!

(I haven't played all!)


Doom 3 - finaly ships, after delays! (PC)

Half Life 2 - finaly ships, after a doubtfull "stolen" source code, and many delays. (PC)

Halo 2 - ships as expected. And didn't dissapoint the fans... (Xbox)

Rome: Total War - Finaly see the day light! As there where no official release date, the developers only said, we publish the game when we think it's finnish, kind of cold cool thught of them (PC)

GTA: San Andreas - get's in time. As always this might be the game of the year. Everyone love's it! And Rockstar have done it again! No delays from them... no no! (PS2)

Battlefield Vietnam - Bases on the same old Battlefield 1942 graphic engine . Kind of old..... (PC)

Fable - Most dissapointed game of the year on Xbox? (Xbox)

Football Manager 2005 - They change publisher to Sega from Eidos and they got it even bether than last Championchip Series. (PC)

Chronicles of Rid**** - It's Swedish! And it's having an own developed Graphic Engine to.... - (PC and Xbox)

Need for speed underground 2 - about 2 years from there first title...can this game be a release just to make money for EA Games? (ALL?)

Burn out 3 - EA games buyed up the title and did a god job? (PS2)

Söldner - Secret Wars - One of MANY titles from German. (PC)

Gangland - The years shortest game? Note: In Sweden it's called Family Wars why? It's not a big company that's made gangland....are it gonna be buyed up by Elecetronic Arts in 2005? (PC)

Axis and allies - Well it was about time that they upgraded the game...but why did they change the game concept? Why do they always make "warcraft" thing of a border game..... (PC)

--->Pirates!<--- - My favorite - Have Sid Mier's Done it again, to make the award winning cult game Pirates to a new modern version of it and not lost a singel fan and status of the original game? (PC)

Protections:
Starforce - Most hated Game protection ever in 2004?

In 2004 Macromedia change there SafeDisc protection from 3.2 to without announcement version 4. But still is the most beaten protection of all time!

SecuROM - Didn't do mutch.....

Valve - Valves protection it's one of the best....but didn't took to long before Vengance to beat them.. but just look at there release and you might see how a great job valve and vengance have done. Both to encrypt and decrypt the protection..
