In my Opinion the Golden Age came during the 4th, 5th and 6th Gen. Each of these Gens paved the way for gaming, many AAA franchises were born and gaming became more and more mainstream. Gen 4 was the Beginning of JRPG dominance as well as the true birth of Handheld Gaming, Gen 5 was the mainstream Introduction to Advanced Graphics and the Birth of Action Adventure Dominance although the JRPG Crowd was still growing. Finally Gen 6 improved on all of Gen 5s greatness with even more AAA franchises being born and Controls being even more dynamic and refined, It was the Gen that Made FPS games what they are and gave us great titles such as Ratchet and Clank, Pikmin, Pokemon RSE, Call of Duty, Halo, Pokemon Colosseum, and finally Gen 6 brought us our first taste of Online Gaming, Anyone used to play CoD2 Big Red One Online? lol
