I didn't include NFL 2K1.

Anyway, out of all those games there, it's a tough decision between Metroid Prime and Half-Life 2. I'll give the edge to Metroid Prime, with HL2 a very close second and MGS2 being third. Honorable mention goes to Wind Waker.

I voted Metal Gear Solid 2. The incredibly messed up (and I mean that in a very GOOD way) story, the boss battles, the challenge of having to use stealth, and just the overall presentation make it a true winner in my eyes. I only wish MGS3 had been the true sequel to this game that MGS4 looks to be...

Half-Life 2 and Zelda: Wind Waker get honorable mentions though. HL2's story is the best dystopian tale I've seen, in ANY media, since Orwell's 1984 came out. I don't really care about all the physics and crap, but the gameplay is, for the most part, just as solid as the original (a game which, I might add, would've gotten my vote had it been included).

Wind Waker I loved just because it was a really gutsy move that embraced pure creativity instead of harkening to the fanboy/girl's desires to see a darker story and a "mature" Link (this, I might add, is coming from someone who LOVES Twilight Princess so far). Not to mention it just plays wonderfully; the controls are much smoother and more responsive than the N64 Zeldas, and there's no stupid Water Temples here. And don't get me started on the awesome final battle...

As much as I love almost all those games, it really came down to Halo, Grand Theft Auto III, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Goldeneye. I chose Metal Gear Solid 2. I fucking love that game and did every single possible thing there was to do in it with the Substance version. All difficulties, all dog tags, etc, etc.

The only one on the list I played and really enjoyed was The Wind Waker honestly.

I gave Resident Evil 4 some love for being what it is, although it was a tough choice with MGS2 just sitting there reminding me how awesome it was.

I went for Soul Calibur, just because I've had more fun playing that than anything else on the list.

MGS2 baby. Possibly my favourite MGS overall (well, Substance is, at least) so it gets my vote. Sorry Half Life 2!

Between MP and Half-Life 2... I'd have to go with HL2. Probably one of the best games ever made.
