The year perfect dark came out 2000? I think



Around the Network

2007 easily gets the crown because my favorite game of all time, Mario Galaxy, came out that year! Other 2007 games worth mentioning are Halo 3, CoD4, BioShock, Contra 4 and Unreal 3!

Sorry, dont know how to get the lines closer together...

 

By cutting out a lot of the crap, I mean Skate and Heavenly Sword, really? Remakes don't count either.

1998 looks a lot better, Zelda, Panzer Dragoon, Pokemon, Metal Gear Solid and Half-Life alone trump 2007. Where would gaming be without Half-life and Pokemon? It would be completely different. Plus Ocarina of Time is often regarded as the best game ever made (makes IGN's list every year)

Thing is, I still say 1998 is better because so many of the well regarded franchises started/respawned in 1998. Half-Life, Metal Gear Solid, Starcraft and Pokemon all started in 1998, Ocarina of Time (often regarded the best game ever) resparked Zelda, and stuff like Panzer Dragoon Saga/XenoGears are simply a lot better then the stuff in 2001.

2001 is in my opinion #1, Golden Sun, Advance Wars and Halo all debuted, and every console got something good.

2007 is also good, but not as good as 98/01

2007, 2011 and soon 2015.



I have to go with 1998 - thanks to insane tech progress a ton of groundbreaking PC games were released and new genres were born. The FPS genre alone was taken to another level(s) with the holy trinity of Unreal - Half-Life - Thief. I just checked 10 of my top 30 games were released in 1998 +/- 2 years.



My Etsy store

My Ebay store

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.

As a Xbox fan.....2006. As a Xbox gamer.....2007.

I mean, Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, Halo 3, Bioshock, Orange Box, hell even Rock Band.......all games that pushed the envelope compared to the last gen.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
