Game of the Year for 2003/Good & Bad

Must agree Moo3 was bloody awful! It has the very worst ship designing system I've ever seen, and as for the "intuitive interface" to look at your systems... Guess I must be very unintuitive. Total eye candy, no substance.

Medievel Total War for Best game. I'm still not sure about the expansion for it. Spent too much time on SE4G and trying to get Civ3 playable.

Best game?

Definately Mediaval Total War and the Viking expansion pack for it.

Very very close second is Hidden & Dangerous II

Worst game?

I dunno, I dont really buy and play many computer games. Someone told me the Lord of the Rings games are bad, so may be those, but I havn't tried them so dont know

Definately Mediaval Total War and the Viking expansion pack are definately great. I got pretty frustrated at its lack of automation in larger games. It could be a real chore moving my massive numbers of units around...

Unfortuantely I'm still using the nine gigabyte SCSI hard drive I picked up about five years ago, so I had to can it for space. Time to buy a new hard drive...

Ouch. At least Civ III ws playable.

[edit: 2 != 3]
So? There are a lot of horrid games that are "playable." And besides, part of the problem with Civ 3 is the evil marketing BS they pulled with it, splitting the game into 3 parts so they could milk more money without adding ANY meaningful features in any of the expansions. Civ 3 + 2 expansions at their best almost equal Civ 2 Gold at its worst, save some really stupid things like removing the hit point/firepower system of Civ 2 that helped tremendously over Civ 1. No comparison at all to Civ 2 ToT.

Fyron and I are on the same page when it comes to Civ 3. In fact I think it was how we started talking. You should do a search for Civ 3, Civ III or something like that.

Loser, I bought Mediaval when I had my old machine (a 500Hz Celeron with about 4GB of hard drive and a really lousy voodoo graphics card). The game was appalling.

Then tried it on my new machine (3GB Hz 120GB hard drive with a Radeon Pro) and oh lordy, it is really someone rather special indeed oh yes oh yes indeedy. Damn I love it.
