FPS: Halo 2
RPG: KOTOR 2 (haven't played it yet, but if it's even half as good as the first then it's the best RPG out there)
RTS: Don't care enough to play one.
Sports: Tie between Madden 2005 and NCAA Football 2005
Story: Tie between both Halo games and KOTOR 1. Both have extremely engrossing stories, and Halo is more original (even though it borrowed a lot from Aliens and Starship Troopers...KOTOR was Star Wars). In my opinion, KOTOR is the best Star Wars story--ever--and also had a plot twist (actually, more like a plot u-turn) so unexpected and insane that I was literally in shock for a half hour (not kidding). KOTOR's would win if it sparked my imagination and investigative/speculative abilities like Halo's.
Game of the Year: tie between Halo 2 and KOTOR 2 (I'm gonna spend a ton of time on that li'l bad boy once I get it, even if it turns out bad, 'cause I'm such a Star Wars nut. And from what I've heard it's already the best RPG of the year)
