I'm going with 2007! It was an amazing year, but other great years include 1986, 1991, 1998 and 2001!

I want to say 1998 because of Gran Turismo, Grim Fandango, and that epic classic, possibly one of the best games of all time...

Metal Gear Solid.

2001.

GTAIII, MGS2, Final Fantasy X, Devil May Cry, Twisted Metal: Black, Jak and Daxter, Halo, Conker's Bad Fur Day, etc. etc.

2004 seemed like the sequel to 2001.
