Going by personal choice from my start year, 1999

1999: Mario Kart 64
2000: Wario Land II
2001: Mario Tennis
2002: Metroid Prime
2003: Phantasy Star Online I and II
2004: Metroid Prime 2
2005: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
2006: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
2007: Super Mario Galaxy
2008: Super Smash Bros Brawl
2009: New Super Mario Bros Wii

From memory, here's EGM's (my favorite magazine. R.I.P., EGM) games of the year:

1991: Sonic the Hedgehog
1992: Street Fighter 2
1993: -I can't remember
1994: Donkey Kong Country
1995: Twisted Metal (WTF?)
1996: Super Mario 64
1997: Goldeneye 64
1998: Legend of Zeld: The Ocarina of Time
1999: Soul Calibur
2000: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (well deserved at the time)
2001: Halo
2002: Metroid Prime
2003: Prince of Persia
2004: Halo 2
2005: Resident Evil 4
2006: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
2007: Bioshock (WTF!?)
2008: Grand Theft Auto 4

Bioshock won lots of GOTY awards in 2007, just as much as super mario galaxy

You do understand that this is your own personal GOTY, right?  So if you think Bioshock was the best game of that year put it in your list.

It's way too far to name older years so I'll just do recently:

2010 - Final Fantasy XIII so far easily.
2009 - Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
2008 - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
2007 - Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
2006 - Final Fantasy XII/Gears of War
2005 - Resident Evil 4
2004 - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Just my list, doesn't have to be yours of course lol.

he posted EGM's GOTY, not his personal GOTY titles

For me:

I think I properly began to play the SNES when I was 5....we got the PS1 quite late!

so even though we got PS1 pretty late....I will still list my GOTY for the certain year.

anyway:

1997 -- FINAL FANTASY VII

1998 -- GRAN TURISMO 1

1999 -- FINAL FANTASY VIII

2000 -- GRAN TURISMO 2

2001 -- POKEMON GOLD Version

2002 -- FINAL FANTASY X

2003 -- ZELDA : Wind Waker

2004 -- GRAND THEFT AUTO : San Andreas

2005 -- STAR WARS Battlefront 2

2006 -- ZELDA : Twilight Princess

2007 -- ELDER SCROLLS IV : Oblivion (first year a console RPG beat a FF that came out in the same year...i.e. FF12)

2008 -- METAL GEAR SOLID 4 : Guns Of The Patriots (Best game Ever)

2009 -- Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves

2010 -- FINAL FANTASY XIII

Really?  I missed that.  Perhaps he personally agrees with EGM's selections for GOTY :)
