I have no clue myslef. I can't deside. Maybe Knights of the Old Republic or Freelancer. Halo could be too. Even Call of Duty. You decide. I think all of the games are the same. State your opinion.

You think all of the games are the same? So why play more than one then? I dunno man, you are acting in a very trollish manner...

Dominions II is my game of 2003, no question about it.

Runner up is probably Combat Mission: Afrika Korps, which doesn't get to compete to win because it stands on the shoulders of the first two Combat Mission games, and the improvements don't stand up to Dominions II.

Dominions II is also my favourite PC game of 2003, followed by Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic

I'm gonna go with Temple of Elemental Evil as a long time D&D addict and a Troika fanboi. Mind you I've played a lot more Dominions II, so draw your own conclusions...

Best RPG: Knights of the Old Republic
Best FPS: Call of Duty
Best Wargame: Highway to the Reich
Best Strategy Game: Dominions II

Best game overall? (tough choice) Knights of the Old Republic. All four games listed above are excellent.

Greatest Disappointment: MOO3 (SWG runs not far behind)

Deus Ex Invisible War is Deus Ex Lite. Pay full price for a game that only gives ~14 hours (by the game's own record-keeping) playtime. The original was over triple the length and much more challenging and intriguing. Deus Ex was Game of the Year for 2000. In 2003 the sequel isn't even a contender.

Aldin, I cannot believe you had the temerity to mention ToEE as a contender? ROTFL. YUCK! What a piece of junk. You'd be by far better off getting Neverwinter Nights and the various expansions to it. Heck, even Lionheart, with all its flaws, is a better game than Temple.

BTW, if people are going to include expansion packs to good games as contenders, then the Morrowind series would have to be rated pretty darn high. Morrowind is arguably the best FRPG of all time. The only real problem with Morrowind is that the critters don't keep pace with your character in terms of being a challenge to you. But you be hard-pressed to find a game that's more immersive or comprehensive, even in other genres (excepting Dominions II, of course).
