    Viewtiful Joe - one of the best games of the year? What would be the best game of the year? Technically some major contenders still have to come out, not to mention a few won't be played by me this year (such as Final Fantasy X-2) and some won't be played by me ever (Madden 2004 is always mentioned, but I don't do American football). Well, since I am a minor geek and think about this on occassion... the shortlist of potential nominees are:
    • The Legend of Zelda, the Windwaker (GameCube, Nintendo)
    • Knights of the Old Republic (xBox, Bioware)
    • Viewtiful Joe (GameCube, Capcom)
    • Panzer Dragoon Orta (xBox, Sega)
    • Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire (Game Boy Advance, Nintendo)
    • Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution (Playstation 2, Sega)

    Some also rans: Soul Calibur II (GameCube, Tecmo), F-Zero GC (GameCube, Sega)


    Hmm... I am too much of a geek. Fortunately I have a girlfriend, so the major pitfall of geekiness is saved against. For the curious, there are real industry awards for video games, just like the Oscars. As well, Spike TV is apparently hosting a video game awards show too. I don't get Spike TV, so I will check the results on December 5 online. Their nominees are already up, with their list of nominees being:
    • Freedom Fighters (EA)
    • Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PC Version) (Rockstar)
    • Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Nintendo)
    • Madden NFL 2004 (EA)
    • SOCOM II: U.S. Navy Seals (SCEA)
    • SSX 3 (EA)
    • Star Wars Galaxies (LucasArts)
    • Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (Ubisoft)
    • Tony Hawk's Underground (Activision)

    For the record (what record? I'm just some guy with a blog), I protest the inclusion of Splinter Cell, as it was indeed released for the xBox in 2002, not 2003. Alas, I don't sit on the directors of Spike TV or whoever picks the winners.
