What Were Your Peak Gaming Years?

[Scoobes]

I think I probably had 2 peak periods:

1997-2005: Some absolute gems were available on both PC, PS1 & 2. MGS, Final Fantasy VII, Deus Ex, Morrowind, Oblivion, Star Wars: KoToR, Half-Life 1 & 2, Neverwinter Nights, Call of Duty 1, Starcraft, Age of Empires 1 & 2, GTA 3 trilogy, Counterstrike, God of War etc. After this I had a lull period where I played mainly Oblivion fairly casually installing random mods and quests when I got bored. I still played other games but nothing held my attention up until...

2009-2015: The release of Uncharted 2, Dragon Age Origins, Assassins Creed 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Gran Turismo 5 and Mass Effect 2 sucked me back into gaming in a big way and every year after that had great games with sequels to the above on top of Skyrim, Dishonored, Witcher 2 & 3 and Deus Ex Human Revolution.

I haven't been able to play as much since the birth of my son and when I do it's usually broken into chunks with more breaks. Most of my game time on Fallout 4 was spent on pause! A few games still grab my attention but it's much harder to find time to play.
