The end of the year is usually full of big titles, so it's 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.
Yesterday (November 16th) 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's just one of the great games that were released in November 2004 because this month the World of Warcraft, Metroid Prime 2, Metal Solid Gear 3 and Halo 2 were launched in addition to 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 the time and then it became a very famous series so we should have mentioned it in the article.
A few days later, on the 4th of November, we saw the launch of The Legend Of Zelda The Minish Cap, 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 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.
A week later, on November 15th, Metroid Prime 2 was launched on Gamecube, the first part was very popular in the West and the second part received a lot of praise from critics and players and became a classic game to this day. On the same day, the game of racing, which may be closest to my heart and the heart of many, yes I am talking about Need for Speed: Underground 2 that the players still talk about every time they need for speed sentence is mentioned in a conversation or every time a new game is announced in the series.
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'm talking about Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which has had huge successes and has been a leader fight that is considered the best in the series of fighting and stealth.
A week later, on November 21st, the world saw the Nintendo DS, which was launched with Mario 64 DS, after which 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 the 23rd of November another MMORPG was released, this time the game World of Warcraft was launched. A few weeks after the launch of Everquest 2, WoW was released with many technical problems but by the end, it became one of the best games and fifteen years later it is still one of the most popular games of this style especially in recent times.
