Duncan Posted December 2, 2004 I don't know if anyone saw this, or cares, but these are TIME's ten best video games of 2004, apparently. The only thing I was really struck by was how (with the possible exception of #4) bland and predictable the choices were. Also the first line is "It's no secret that video games aren't just for kids anymore." Yeah, thanks for that. Anyway, here's the list: 1. The Sims 2 2. Rome: Total War 3. Half-Life 2 4. Katamari Damacy 5. San Andreas 6. Battlefield: Vietnam 7. Halo 2 8. Burnout 3 9. Fable 10. Pirates! (is that even out yet?) Shocked? Confused? I know I am!

Salka Posted December 2, 2004 The Sims 2 over Half Life 2? I can see we have a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted December 2, 2004 At least Katamari Damacy is there. Finally got to play it the other night on B0b's imported PS2. It made me feel happy and warm inside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Posted December 2, 2004 Shame Dawn of War isn't in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manny_c44 Posted December 2, 2004 Sadly, I get Time, and that article was more of a Christmas shoppers guide, it wasn't a top ten (I only gave it a cursory glance though). Anyway, Pirates! is indeed out and is a huge time waster just like all of Sid's other games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Fuzzy McBitty Posted December 2, 2004 It's difficult to have a TOP TEN GAMES OF THIS YEAR! I couldn't go about comparing HL2 and The Sims 2, so where they fall on the grid doesn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
