Default Game of the Year?

What was yours?



For me it was between Zelda and FFXII. Zelda was awesome, like really awesome, but I think I'm giving it to FFXII. I've never seen a game so detailed, so rich in design and story; it really was beyond anything I've ever seen in an RPG.

I really need to pick FFXII up again. Perhaps I'll start today.

I really need to pick up FFXII period.
One of the number of games I've purchased, but havn't touched except to take off the plastic wrap...

I also need to finish Zelda, seeing as how I bought it at launch and I'm only just about to start the third dungeon...

Game of the year? I HAAAVE NOOOO GAME OF THE YEAAAAR!!

I sold my PS2.......traded it in for AU$100 when I bought the Wii, which is pretty good considering I bought the PS2 on launch and it's really old. You can buy the new PS2's now for AU$160.

I wanna play FFXII. So maybe i'll buy another ps2.

Game of the Year. Well for me it's Zelda:TP. But keep in mind I haven't played GOW, or FFXII.

I'm now up to the mirror of twilight, gotta go to some snowy peak area.

I havent played FFXII in about a month and a half, but it's still epic.
That gets my vote.

Zelda: Twilight Princess. Wii version.

Gears of War is close though.

...I think the only game I've played this past year that came out in 2006 was New Super Mario Bros.

First half of Zelda TP. Second half wasn't nearly as good.

I really enjoyed Zelda: TP.

I like Final Fantasy XII a lot. But battle feels like it doesn't absorb the player at all. Maybe I didn't play enough. But I guess I like to do more in a battle than just press attack and run around while waiting for my characters to do it on their own.

But the story, graphics, world, etc is pretty amazing. I think they should have adopted a battle system closer to Star Ocean.

I guess Zelda takes my vote.

For me, it's between Gears of War and TP. Although I've only played GoW for less than an hour, it was pretty dang impressive IMO. But I will say TP because I experienced the whole game and was thoroughly impressed.

POSSIBLE SPOILER











....

I thought the 2nd part was phenominal, first part was great, but the 2nd part was my fave. Getting the double hookshot, ball and chain, those fun boss fights......

The only part I didn't like was the water temple, then again i've always not liked the water temples

Interesting comment. For some reason, I've always hated water levels in any game. Especially when they became three dimensional. Like in Mario 64 and Sunshine. I get scared!

I have a feeling of fear, and overwhelming anxiety.
