IGN Game of the Year (1 Viewer)

[Andrew_Sch]

Hey, I don't have an IGN Insider subscription, so I was wondering if someone who does would be kind enough to tell me what game won their overall best of 2001 award. Thanks.

The game of the year is...Halo

Super Smash Brothers #1 vs GTA3!?!??!?!?!

Yeeeah, ok. And the age of their readers? I thought Gamespot's list was much better.

 

[Andrew_Sch]

What is the world coming to?

Super Smash Brothers #1 vs GTA3!?!??!?!?!

Yeeeah, ok. And the age of their readers? I thought Gamespot's list was much better.

I highly disagree with that statement. I am 18 and I LOVE Super Smash Brothers: Melee... I think it is one of the most fun multiplayer games I have ever played, there is nothing like kicking the crap out of that little bastard Pikachu.

 

[Ike]

Have you played GTA3, Rob?

 

[Derrik Draven]

Pikachu...?!!?

...what the hell is a pikachu?

 

[Rob Lutter]

I wasn't disagreeing with GTA3 being a good game... he is atesting the game to an 'all-10-year-old' audience... and I was just pointing out that even us older folks can enjoy a little Melee.

To answer your question Ike, I have played GTA3 at my friends house and it is awesome... but I just think Melee beats it

 

[Doug Schiller]

I own all three consoles and own (almost) every game in that list including Super Smash Brothers, Halo, and GTA3.

To me, it is GTA3 then everything else, then Halo, then everything else.

These two games are simply on another level.

I enjoy SSMelee but barley touch it since GTA3. This is one game that goes into the pathenon along with Mario 64 and Super Metroid.

If I had my list it would go...

1. GTA3 (by a long shot)

2. Halo

3. Gran Turismo 3

4. MGS2

5. Super Smash Brothers

6. Return to Castle Wolf

7. SSX Tricky

8. Max Payne

9. Madden 2002

10. Tony Hawk 3

Don't have an X-Box, and haven't played Max Payne, so my top games would be Final Fantasy X followed by Metal Gear Solid 2. After that, it would be a bunch of ties.
