2004 Indie Games of the Year

For those who believe that the best game this year was that badly named expansion pack that they have the nerve to call Halo 2, check out the awards for a different side of gaming than you are used to."
I saw the hype surrounding Halo 1. According to those fanboys it was the greatest game of all times.
Usually I don't fall into hypes, but such a huge hype made me interested in Halo. Hey, it must be good, if every Xbox owner says it's great, right?
Well, last year I finally had the chance to play it. Gawd, I was so bored, I couldn't even believe! This crap should be the king of all games?!?
Quake 1 is way more fun than Halo 1... not to mention Half-Life 1 and both games are older than Halo.
Now Halo 2.....
Wow, the hype is even bigger. But this time I don't fall into the hype. Halo 1 was overhyped and Halo 2 is likely to be overhyped as well.
From what I've read, Halo 2 isn't really that different from Halo 1 and I also read that Halo 2 is too short.
So Halo 2 does not have many new features and is short. IMHO these are 2 aspects of a cheapo mission pack.
I'll bite:
Canada has given over 53million$CAN to the cause and they are the first one to recommend to the group of Paris to not reduced but to place a moratorium on the debt of those countries so as to help further, as far as Canada is concerned it's moratorium takes effect immediately (cause we are actually limited in fund we do what we can, we don't give money we don't have (US) and try to block aid efforts done by the UN so as to take the spotlight (US), this is not a popularity contest this is the single worst display of nature's rage I've seen in my life and as usual US is using this to display its incredible arrogance and self-centered attitude, what a fuckin lame nation...).
