Thief The Dark Project
Commandos
Unreal
Half-Life
Fallout 2
Grim Fandango

It might be the greatest year and it was the middle of the Golden Age (1994-2002).

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

i don't know really but i feel like 2001 and 2009 competes with 1998 for me.

what was released those years? and didn't people feel like 2011 rivaled 1998?

9/10.

If FFVII and Resident Evil 3 had released in 1998, it would be the easiest 10 ever.

You've forgotten some of the all time greats for 1998: StarCraft (PC) and Pokemon Red/Blue (GameBoy)!

Overall, 1998 gave us some of the greatest games of all time.

Yeah, that's some pretty great years as well!! But they're not beating 1998 ;)
