Game of the Year - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Mr. Gainsborough fucked around with this message on 01-03-2005 at 07:54 AM.
Game of the Year: World of Warcraft.
Honorable Mention: Samurai Warriors, PS2 Pun intended? Perhaps.
"A" for Effort: Front Mission 4, La Pucelle: Tactics, Psi Ops. All PS2
Biggest Letdown: Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. Had too much FFX for my taste, and the story was rather boring
As for my "Game of the Year", I really can't choose one game. But it would have to be Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I have logged at least 100 hours playing this, doing the story line missions, odd jobs, and just goofing off. The only other games I've played for over 100+ hours have been Disgaea, Front Mission 3, and Final Fantasy Tactics (if you count multiple playthroughs).
To get this much replay value out of an action game is a real treat. If you own a PS2, or you're willing to wait till June for PC/X-Box, I reccomend, nay, I command you to get GTA: SA. You will not be dissapointed.

Game of the Year - Katamari Damacy
I find myself yearning, and often, playing this game every single day. Sometimes at work I will just break out and start humming the game's theme. In fact I have not had a game that I found this enjoyable since Everquest first came out.
Game of the Year: Half-Life 2
XBox: HALO 2. It should be very obvious. Demon Stone comes second, DA2 a close third.
PC: Unreal Tournament 2004. This game is pure awesome, stuffed in a box, thrown into a wood chipper, and scattered around some soil, thus allowing even more pure awesome to grow. I don't really like the vehicles, they're an absolute bitch to control with mouselook, but I don't much care for the game types in which you find vehicles, either. Invasion is absolutely amazing, and is even better if you have the UT2004RPG mutator. Deathmatch is just as good as always. And they have ASSAULT MODE!! This was one of my favourite game types in original UT. 
And the coolest part? New super weapons. One of which is a giant orbital death laser. Enemy defenses? What defenses? Bot difficulty seems to be increased across the board, as well. I'm playing with Novice bots and, while not necessarily hard, the bots are still pretty good. UT2004 is the ultimate slaughterfest.
As for second, even though I've no interest in it, I gotta give this to HL2. It is an awesome game, it's just not my kind of game.

The giant orbital death laser was in 2003
I haven't played 2k3. 2k4 = t|eh pwn.

i r so original
There's one downside to bot play, the fact that if you use the map default number of bots, there doesn't seem to be nearly enough. Some maps in 2k4 are huge, so you'll need to cram 32 friggin' bots in if you want a slaughterfest. However, the good thing there is you can cram 32 bots in, whereas in original UT you could only get 16 maximum. It's a little odd, though. Some maps say they're meant for 4 to 8 players, when they're big enough for 32 or possibly more.
And I can't really pin down why...but it's fun!
A bit of a draw between the two but I think Rome wins out because it captures my imagination a bit more.
I only had a few days to play it while I was home for a week and a half but I loved it so.
