(Technically Mario Galaxy is also a FPS for the second player)

Well even the first player technically - really the game is about controlling a star-bit shooting drone that follows Mario around and gives him commands.

2007 year of the FPS confirmed!

I see your 2007 and raise you 1998:

Half-Life
Ocarina of Time
Metal Gear Solid
Starcraft
Pokemon Red/Blue (in the West)

Strong list. PC had a killer year in 1998: Half-Life, Thief, Unreal, Fallout 2, Grim Fandango... great times!


EDIT: gooseberry fool Resi 2 was 1998 as well!

One good level does not make a great game.

I agree but I'm not sure what that has to do with Sonic Adventure 2.

I'd say the Paddington films are both equally brilliant, with neither being the clear winner.

It's hard to argue against the original also being brilliant, not joking.

You could make the same case about the Godfather, but at some point you need to make a decision.

It wasn't as good as the first, to be fair. The setting didn't really work for the gameplay. By no means a bad game though.

Crazy Taxi 2 was ruined by the city it was set in, the place was dull beyond belief, and it was such a disappointment when compared to the brilliant original.
