Everyone knows it's 1998, no contest.

Metal Gear Solid, Baldur's Gate, Zelda OOT, Half-Life, Grim Fandango, Heart of Darkness, Star Craft, Banjo Kazooie, Thief, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, F Zero X, Unreal, Oddworld: Abe's Exodus, Xenogears, and more

Everyone? Honesltly that's a pretty poor list to me. Only 2 games there that I'd even say I liked, and not a single one that would make my top 100. Although Resident Evil 2 was also 1998 and that would make my top 100, that alone still doesn't make '98 good to me though.

For me it's 2002. Final Fantasy 10, TimeSplitters 2, Dynasty Warriors 3, GTA Vice City etc. what a year!

I left sequels out on purpose, those are all new games. Although technically MGS and OOT are only new in 3D. But why do you think that's a pretty poor list?
