F-Zero GX through Mario & Luigi are from 2003 while Psychonauts through Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance are from 2005.

There were so many others that it occurred to me I should separate them by year too.
Anyway you look at it; 2003 and 2005 are great examples of years that need more than 5 or so games to appropriately represent the entire year.

Please let me know what game you're voting for if you choose Other

You bought an N-Gage, didn't you?

Skies of Arcadia: Legends

Skies of Arcadia: Legends

Skies of Arcadia came out in 2000, and i don't think Allen would allow Legends to be on the 2003 list because of that... Not really sure how it works though. Same goes for Sonic Adventure 2 being in 2001 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle in 2002. I think the original release is the only one that counts.

Silent Hill 3 for sure

But Hms to Haunting Ground and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
---

f-zero gx

nothing else even remotely as good as it, though that's generally true for most games
---

The late 90s and early 2000s truly where a golden age to be a gamer.
---

Going to throw a bone to We <3 Katamari
---

Naturally I have to give a vote to my baby We Love Katamari.

2003 has... holy shit, a lot. SSX 3 is a game that needs more attention. F-Zero GX is a game that gets deserved respect but still needs more.
---

Cheers they aren't alongside the best ones. Maybe the best ones aren't good too, I don't know. But those ones are bad in comparison..
Almost all of them have more japanese culture in.

I may say TimeSplitter, Star Wars Battlefront.
Everything else looks like the transition between excelent games from the franchises, like Hitman, which his best game is Blood Money.

Some I never played, soo I can't say, like Silent Hill
---

tough pick between F-Zero GX and Dragon Quest VIII

I went with GX due to replayability
---

Splintercell chaos theory
---

Gotta go with the one I'm playing now:

Other: Guitar Hero
---

Other: Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter for 2003. Can't believe no one brought that up.

I also love the fact that we got 3 Fire Emblem games during these two years.

Still another feather in 2003's ridiculous cap.

2003 no doubt: Postal 2 best sarcastic, dark humoric, uncompromising society parody ever made
---

We love Katamari
---

F-Zero GX and Fire Emblem tied up right now! Which game will take 2003?

Dragon Quest VIII looks like it's going to take 2005.
---

Both 2003 and 2005 have excellent portable games that I feel too many people overlook.
---

Fire Emblem now in the lead for 2003
---

Tomorrow i'll be featuring the years 1987 and 2008.
---

Going Commando is waaaaaay better than the crap you posted
Why is it in "other"?
