While it perhaps didn't have the same quantity of blockbuster games that 2001 did, I do believe this a much more pivotal year for redefining the direction of the industry.

I'm bound to miss some, but here's a few examples of the greats of '98.

2001 has nothing on 1998. Best gaming year to date.

I haven't played many games from 1998 but it still looks good. 9/10

Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

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.

Great year, love Crash, Spyro, Gran Turismo & Oddworld. Still, 2010 is my absolute favourite year for video games.

1998 and you don't list this game?

starcraft: "I and every PS3 fanboy alive are waiting for Versus more than FFXIII.
Me since the games were revealed, the fanboys since E3."
