Best Original Games of 2003?

Posted by michael on from the imitation-is-the-sincerest-form-of-copying dept.

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?"

    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.

    But isn't pong based off of tennis? I was going to say pacman personally.

    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.
