Best Original Games of 2003?
PapaZit writes "It seems like most of the games that I purchase these days are sequels: GTA3 and Vice City , Zelda: Wind Waker, even Knights of the Old Republic and Galaxies built on the Star Wars franchise. What are the best original (not a sequel or franchise) games that you've played this year?"
By far the best and most original game I purchased this year is Super Mario Sunshine. I'm really amazed that Nintendo hasn't followed up this genius Mario theme with at least 10 games by now.
Duke Nukem Forever. It's the first game to have been in development for 5 years with no apparent progress. It's like these guys invented slacking. Actually they stole the tactic from Ion Storm and John Romero, but 3D Realms has taken it to a whole new level.
How much more original can you get? I owe all of my failing grades to these gods of slothfulness.
This generic DNF-bashing comment has been made possible by too much free time during winter break.
True story.
But isn't pong based off of tennis? I was going to say pacman personally.

Funniest game that was never released in 2003. A shockingly original concept where the game would be in not actually releasing a game. And the franchise can continue on in that mode, literally forever. Brilliant concept and execution all around.
Well, the last time I saw a NEW game and said "WOW" was when I saw people playing Dance Dance revolution...
You'd find yourself saying WOW if the first time you saw someone playing DDR, it was an 18 year old Double D cup.
Back in May, I did.

You know, on second thought maybe Pacman isn't so original. Munching pills and thinking you see ghosts is probably pretty common to anyone doing acid.
