The visuals still look fantastic. It didn't push polygon counts but the visual style was just so smart and clean.I'm surprised MGS2 isn't getting votes. I always thought of that game as one of those landmark games in gaming history.
I played it for the first time last year and the game still holds up really well. And while I'm not big on stories in video games at all, the story in MGS2 is phenomenal.The visuals still look fantastic. It didn't push polygon counts but the visual style was just so smart and clean.

14 year-old me definitely wished that were true, but that game was forgotten by me within a month despite absurd hype (W3D was my first PC game, so you could call this the first nostalgia play in my life).
I think the game's lack of content and play-ability to really be considered a "Game of the Year". I absolutely loved MGS2, the storyline was great, I loved the Illuminati parallel and how Snake and Otacon fit into the game. However, even a mediocre player can complete the game in ~3 hours, and the replayability is kind of lacking.I'm surprised MGS2 isn't getting votes. I always thought of that game as one of those landmark games in gaming history.
It had a great competitive scene for about a year, though I remember it dying down quite a bit after the first CAL-i season.
I assume 2000 is going to come down to Diablo II and Counterstrike
Some candidates on the PC side for 2000:
Diablo II
Counter-Strike
Shogun: Total War
Baldur's Gate II
Icewind Dale
Aliens vs Predator
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn |
Chrono Cross |
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 |
Counter-Strike |
Deus Ex |
Diablo II |
Marvel Vs Capcom 2 |
Perfect Dark |
Skies of Arcadia |
The Legend of Zeld: Majora's Mask |
The Sims |
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 |
Banjo-Tooie |
Descent 3 |
Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance |
Sacrifice |
The Longest Journey |
Thief II: The Metal Age |
WWF No Mercy |
Aliens Vs Predator |
Icewind Dale |
Spyro: Year of the Dragon |
Timesplitters |
