30 Greatest Games of 2005
Next Generation continues its end-of-year celebration with a treatise on the 30 finest games of the year. From the article: "Some may remember 2005 as a year of financial shortfalls, rising game production costs, depleted Xbox 360 stock, political soap-boxing, or over-exertion in Korean Internet cafes. Forget all that stuff for now. 2005 wasn't a year to be remembered for one great gaming breakthrough or innovation, but it did produce some remarkable products. It was a year marked with some of the best games of the fading generation. "
Best Game of The Year 2050.
Looks like the EA model of development (release early, release often, around Christmas) is finally catching on to the developer world.

"Immersive environments", it's a BLOODY CARD GAME for crying out loud... Guild Wars, that's immersive... playing with cards, not immersive.

Man, what a disappointment. I only see one game in the "list", and I've never even heard "Server 500 error".
and the fact that someone else can play me on the same game cart without them having it is absolutely killer and makes the PSP look like crap right there. (Sony would have NEVER allowed such abilities in the PSP.)
Erm..they did. It's called "Game Sharing", and as a game example, Burnout: Legends uses it. I understand the DS is really nice, and that we hate Sony for the rootkit, but at least give them the small things they DO include that are nice.
So Gran Turismo 4 (released March 05) does not make this list? I think this game was extremely well done and should be considered at least on par if not better than Forza. Maybe this game was on the 04 or 03 list and I missed it (release delays).
