2023 Retrospective: The Best Year of Gaming? (Gaming)

2004 was pretty badass.

Halo 2
Half-Life 2
Doom 3
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Ninja Gaiden
Knights of the Old Republic II
Far Cry
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
World of Warcraft
Fable (lmao)

I remember that being the big year in gaming when I was a teenager, and while I know the hype for Halo 3 reached epic proportions, for me personally, nothing ever came close to the build-up to Halo 2's release.

I would sell a kidney to experience the euphoria of seeing the Master Chief board a Ghost for the very first time at E3 2003 again.
