Well it's another day and I'm in the mood to do another list. Why not? The following are my favorite games by year of release, starting with the first year I really got into gaming properly.
Note: I'm using American titles where applicable. Also, I'm not even going to pretend that this is an objective list of the highest-quality titles from any given year. This is just a list of my personal favorites that reflects my personal tastes and biases.

So how about you? Can you create such a list of your own favorites, organized by year of release? (If you're forgetting release dates, Google and Wikipedia are always helpful that way.)
