Usually the end of the year is full of big and expected headlines so it is customary for a month like November or October to have two or three heavy caliber games, but in November 2004 there were more than two games, there were fifteen games so it deserves the title of the best month in the history of the games.

(November 16) was the 15th anniversary of the launch of the Shooting game that revolutionized the gaming world, yes, I'm talking about Half-Life 2. It was definitely a huge game but it is only one of the great games released in November 2004 because this month we launched World of Warcraft, Metroid Prime 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Halo 2 and many other games listed below.

The month of November 2004 began with a very strong start on the first day with the launch of Counter-Strike: Source and on the second day the great management game Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. was launched. It was important for Sony at that time and then it became a very popular series so I had to mention it in the article.

A few days later, on the 4th of November, we saw the launch of The Legend Of Zelda The Minish Cup, which received great praise from critics, especially from Gamespot, which praised its graphics and music and gave it a rating of ninety-one hundred. The next day Bejeweled 2 was launched which may not be really popular but many consider it one of the classic puzzle games.

Three days later Everquest 2 was launched on the PC, and fifteen years later the game is still alive and is getting new expansions renewed from next month. When we head to the famous Gamecube, a completely different game was launched on November 8 and this game was Mario Power Tennis.

After 24 hours, on November 9th, Halo was launched on the original Xbox after the enthusiasm and excitement of many months. It has had great successes, although its end was disappointing. The Xbox's rival, the PlayStation 2, saw the launch of Jak 3, which was the last part of the popular Jak and Daxter series.

A week later, on November 15th, Metroid Prime 2 was launched on the Gamecube, the first part was very popular in the West and the second part was highly praised by critics and players and became a classic game of the day. The same day we launched a racing game that may be the closest to my heart and the heart of many, yes I am talking about the need for Speed: Underground 2, which is still talked about by the players each time the phrase is mentioned Need for Speed ​​talk or each time a new game is announced in the series.

The day that many people were waiting for was November 16th because it was the day Half-Life 2 would be released after several delays and rumors. I'm not going to talk about it because rightly, who doesn't know this game? But what I remember is how many people were upset because they needed an internet connection and to download something called “steam”.

The next day, November 17th, we saw the launch of a game that many consider the best part of the Metal Gear Solid series. Yes, I am talking about Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which has had huge successes and that included fighting bosses is considered the best in the series of fighting and stealth.

A week later, on November 21st, the world saw the Nintedo DS that was launched with Mario 64 DS, after which time it is now one of the most successful devices in the gaming world. But what a week right?

We are close to the end of the month. On November 23, another MMORPG was released, this time World of Warcraft was launched. A few weeks after the launch of Everquest 2, the WoW game was released with many technical problems but eventually became one of the best games and fifteen years later it is still one of the most famous games of this style especially recently.

This is only a collection of games released in November. If you want to see the full list, you can visit Wikipedia to see the full list. In this article I only talked about November 2004 but in the previous month (October) several excellent titles such as GTA San Andreas and Ace Combat 5 were released.

Certainly during the past years there have been great months but I think November 2004 is the best month in the history of video games because it had excellent games for everyone as well as the new Nintendo Jazz. That month many players ate only once every three because the month drained all their money.

Which game was released in November 2004 and considers it the closest to your heart?
