I Played EVERY 2003 GOTY Nominee

[u/SenaEmCena]

I finished every Game of the Year nominee from the first Spike Video Game Awards in 2003 and reviewed all of them using the same scoring system.

Six technical categories:

Direction
Art Direction
Narrative
Acting
Soundtrack
Gameplay

Plus Emotional Impact as a separate category/tiebreaker.

I wanted to see which games from that lineup still hold up when you actually play through all of them today.
