I was thinking about what held my interest best this year, and I came up with the following games:

1. Devil May Cry 3: Simply a fantastic Masterpiece. Satisfying and immaculate.

2. Psychonauts (XBOX): Shame on you for not buying a copy!

3. Lego Star Wars (PS2): Positively the most fun game in years. I may have to call it best of the year for such giddy joy it brought me.

4. King of Fighters Neowave (ARC, PS2): Best KOF since 95.

5. Guilty GearXX  #Reload (PSP): What a wonderful marvel in the palm of your hand!

6. Vampire Collection (PS2): Finally, the entire arcade perfect series on one disc, zero load time.

7. The Senko: (PS2) Best Beat em' Up this year

8. TMNT 3 (PS2): A pleasant surprise. If you dig the Beat em' Ups, you'll dig this.

9. Akumajo Dracula (PS2) (Castlevania: Curse of Darkness): Never mind the reviews, this is one quality 32 hour game (if you are a completest), with solid, solid action.

10. Shadow of the Colossus (PS2): The must play game of the year. One of the greatest experiences you can have in the world of games.

Good stuff folks.

Next time: Disappointments of the the year.
