    I have never seen full color reflections in a game before.

    Final Fantasy XII revives my love of the Final Fantasy series and proves why the series is one of the best in the world. I would say that this game’s only real competition for RPG of the year would be "Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion."

    I have found almost NOTHING wrong or flawed in NFL 2K5. It is what I would consider right now the perfect Football game. It is a must have game.

    The king of platform games has made a triumphant return, and he has shown that he has not lost a step.

    It combines superb graphics with deep gameplay to bring gamers a great gaming experience. It’s not often that a game gets every aspect of the game right.

    A game that I simply can not get enough of.

    In addition to all of the different defensive moves that you can make, EA Sports has improved the defensive A.I. The defensive is much more aggressive, and they really go after the ball. Some of the stupid mistakes that the A.I. has made in the past have been cut.

    Bottom line, this game is absolutely incredible.

    Without a doubt the best Metal Gear Solid game ever made. It also also one of the most beautiful games ever created on the Playstation 2 system.

    I sat in awe every time I went into battle because the colossi were so cool.

    Drop dead gorgeous!! And I don't mean the game gets better looking as you go along. I mean from the very second you are thrust into the action part of the game, you can immediately see the raw power of the Ninja Gaiden graphic engine.

    What can I say, this game is massive, and the expansion adds on even more to the title.

    For those of you that like multiplayer games then you have a winner in Battlefield 2. If, however, you are a single player fan like myself then I’m sorry, but there are better FPS out there for you, including "Battlefield 1942."

    The gameplay and sheer amount of options alone are mind boggling. And it looks fantastic. Konami knows how to do European Football. Now, they need to get this thing online and fast.

    The best DS game to date. It is like having the best from every Mario Kart game and bundled into one great package.

    Hands down the best racing game of the year. And I would even go a little farther and say with the exception of the original Project Gotham Racing at the time, PGR2 is one of the best racing games I've put my hands on. The sheer depth of the game alone is far beyond anything that has been done to date.

    ICO
    I didn’t find ICO to be that much fun, but that’s because I found it to be very short and not what I thought it might be. It is definitely entertaining and great to look at, but doesn’t have much in the way of replay value.

    From top to bottom, from the action to the atmosphere, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is everything you can want in a game of this genre.

    This game rocks! It is like "Grand Theft Auto 3" on a skateboard! I am so glad the developers chose to go in a new direction with the Tony Hawk franchise! This game is by far the best of all 5 titles to date!

    The controls, the learning curve, the difficulty, and the story all make this game possible to be enjoyed by gamers of almost any age without feeling overwhelmed or underwhelmed. I seriously can't say enough good things about this game.

    MVP has hands down the best pitcher/batter interface there is. I loved it last year and I love it here too.

    It's by far one of the top three racing games this year, outright. Yes, right there with "Forza" and "GT4." And you'll put hours upon hours into it. I can guarantee.

    Another great baseball game. For me, it's not the best of the year for a couple of reasons. One, no Xbox Live. Two, still don't like the fielding.

    Both online and offline, this is my frontrunner for Game of the Year until something else shows me otherwise.

    One of my favorite games of the year. Great graphics, storyline, characters, gameplay, controls and polish, this is simply a fantastic title. I have not been this addicted to a Dragon Warrior (Quest) game since the original on the NES.

    With all of the new features added to Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004, it is by far the best golf game to date on any console. From addictive online play to the in-depth EA Sports Game Face mode, this game will have you coming back for more day after day.

    The right stick controls also take a lot of the learning curve out of Street that made the first ones so hard to learn.
