Is 2001 the best year ever for gaming

[ratolmc]

Why does no one ever mention 2011. That year was absolutely stacked with quality AAA titles releasing weekly yet rarely ever gets any consideration for being one of the best years in gaming much less a "good year" in gaming. I mean just take a look at some of the games released:

Skyrim
Uncharted 3
Gears of War 3
Batman Arkham City
Portal 2
Dark Souls
Dead Space 2
Zelda Skyward Sword
Deus Ex Human Revolution
The Witcher 2
LA Niore
Mortal Kombat 2011
Little Big Planet 2
Infamous 2
Crysis 2
Bulletstorm
Dead Island
Forza Motorsport 4
Rayman Origins
Super Mario 3D Land
Killzone 3
Resistance 3
MW3
Battlefield 3
Saints Row 3
Assassins Creed Revelations
Minecraft

While I dont think 2011 is definitively the greatest year in gaming but it definitely deserves more respect. The number of games released is absolutely mind boggling. It was a year for every kind of gamer. For casuals to hardcore, for fans of rpgs, fps, action/adventure and any genre, there was definitely a game for anyone. 2011 is also in my opinion the peak year of the PS3/360/Wii gen.
