ouch... hard one .... this is more of a personalised list than it should be... but anyways:

> Doom III [PC & X-Box?]- already notorius as having the best detail levels on any system ever, its already talked about very much, and will continue to be well after it's actually gameplay survives (which I don't honestly think will be very long)
> Unreal II [PC & X-Box?]- mainly because i'm pre-ordering it right now , but also as a comparrison to Doom III. ie, at the end of the year people will either be declaring nuclear war over which one is better, or Unreal II will be officially "the best first person shooter ever" - unless of course, its like Unreal I
> FF Tactics Advance [GBA] - a bit of a lucky guess into the unknown given that i'll probably never play it and it may not be released in English in 2003... but Tactics Ogre seemed to scoop a fair few awards last year, and Square could sell several thousand novelty hats if they had "Final Fantasy : Hat" written in crayon by a small child on them... so it'll be a sucess

other games I'll look out for: Halo 2, Deus Ex 2, Legend of Zelda, Golden Sun 2... and also expect Homeworld 2 to be touted as the best strategy game ever made, only to be passed on by everyone
