For me it was 2008 was the best for this generation so far.  though this isn't across the board just the games I care about. this is according to the NA release dates obviously I don't play ever game like some of you do, so I can't say that I wouldn't have liked the games I did not play.

Keep in mind I like giving 9's for everything... bad habit I don't like giving above a 9.

For 2008

The World Ends With You    9.5 My favorite Game this Gen
Wipeout HD  9 My 4th Fav this Gen
Dead Space   9 My 5th Fav this Gen
FF7: Crisis Core 9
Persona 4: 8.5 (I'd say Persona 3: FES for which I'd give a 9 but it was a re-release) But Persona Deserves Mention
Valkyria Chronicles 8.5
Fallout 3: 8.5

From 1998 that I remember

Zelda: OoT  9.5
Starcraft:     9
Xenogears: 9
Metal Gear Solid: 9
Parasite Eve: 9

Hell I'd maybe Consider 2001 the best just because It's the only year I'd give 2 games 9.5's
FFX 10 My favorite game thus the only game I'll give a 10 too... until I have a new favorite then it won't be a 10
Metal Gear Solid 2 9.5
Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec 9 (I hate racing games by the way but it was really damn good)

And this year
FFXIII 9
Mass Effect 2 9
EDIT: SHIIIIIIIIIITTT I can't believe I forgot Starcraft 2 9
Lara Croft and The Guardian of LIght 8.5
Red Dead Redemption 8.5
Heavy Rain 8.5
But it could be the best. I'm Anticipating (playing) Valkyria Chronicles II, GT5 kinda, Epic Mickey, Dragon Quest IX, Fallout: New Vegas

Though I'd say I'm anticipating next year quite a bit more than I did this year. with

Deus Ex 3: Human Revolution
Dragon Age 2
Crysis 2
Dead Space 2
The Third Birthday
FF v XIII (yes it probably won't come out.)
All games who's predecessor I'd give atleast an 8.5 too.

See everyone has their own preference. A lot of the games you gave high ratings to, I wouldn't. To me Final Fantasy X was good, but nothing special, FF has gone downhill since the SNES/PS1 interations. I got bored of The world Ends With You, and put it down after about 4-5 hours of playing it, lol.  I would have given both of those games an 8.5/10 at best. Also you gave Final Fantasy X-2 a score of above 9.5, and that was mearly a fan game. However I do love Ocarina of Time, Mass Effect, and Super Mario 64 like you do.

P.S. I can see your an RPG fan, so am I. Some good recommendations, Lost Odyssey (definatly better then FFXIII), Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Chrono Cross, Golden Sun franchise, Star Ocean, Tales of Vesperia, Baten Kaitos.
