    I'll have to reiterate some of you and go with 1998. Starcraft and Ocarina of Time were released, and my life would never be the same...

    Explain why 2011 was so good. I honestly think that the past few years of gaming have been pretty bad aside from a few fantastic games.

    NBA Jam
    Sonic the Hedgehog 3
    Castlevania Bloodlines
    Shining Force II
    Streets of Rage III
    Sonic & Knuckles
    Contra Hard Corps

    Yuuup! 1995 was also a really good year, 16-bit gaming was at it's peak. Donkey Kong Country 2 and Chrono Trigger came out that year just to name a few.

    Just off the bat I'll say 2005, for Advance Wars: Dual Strike, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and Civilization IV.

    Mega Man X
    Super Metroid
    Mortal Kombat II
    Super Street Fighter II
    Final Fantasy III

    Sonic the Hedgehog 3
    Castlevania Bloodlines
    Shining Force II
    Streets of Rage III
    Sonic & Knuckles
    Contra Hard Corps



    1987 was also an excellent year, and some of the biggest franchises got their start that year (at least here in North America, as some of these games were released in Japan a year earlier).

    Metroid
    Kid Icarus
    Rad Racer
    The Legend of Zelda
    Mega Man
    Mike Tyson's Punch-Out
    Castlevania

    Hell yeah, 2005 was a good year. Tekken 5 came out and thats like the best fighting game ever. Also, Did'nt that first person shooter called Black come out in '05? That game was the shit except it did'nt have multiplayer.


    DARN IT! ! :lol: HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THAT ! ! I got it for my 25th birthday HAHAHAHA uuggh "shakes head" I looked up Black and that came out in "2006".I bought that when it was first released and I took it back, the story wasnt pulling me in. Gorgous looking game play though. But "05" was really good I remember it being hit after hit after hit just really good titles all across alot of diffrent styles for everyone.

But another year I would say it's not my favorite but it was good year is "2005". Some of these games I don't play that I mention by the way but they had really good reviews. Not the best year but it was a good year.

    Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (PS2, Xbox)
    Call of Duty 2 (X-Box 360) (not a fan wanna make that clear LOL)
    Resident Evil 4 (PS2) (HELLZ YEA) I remember being really gunhoe about that got the limited metal case edition to still have it.
    Soul Calibur III (PS2)
    Star Wars Battlefront 2 (PC, PS2, Xbox)

    I'd say 1994, '96, '98, 2007 and '11 were the best years for gaming. If I had to give the edge to just one I'd say '98 would get a slight nod over the rest because of Resident Evil 2, Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid.

    1995, because that's when the PlayStation was released in America and the Sega Genesis had good games like Toy Story and Comix Zone. Oh, and the extremely popular Chrono Trigger was released for the SNES that year too.

    1999.

    At that point in time the Playstation and the Nintendo 64 systems were in full swing with an already great library of games. Also the year the Dreamcast came out.

    Hey everybody, I was just wondering what year everyone thinks was the best for video game releases and what games you liked,

    just off the top of my head with no aid from google i think my favorite year would be 1997. The games that come to mind most that make me pick that year are Goldeneye and FFVII. I loved both of these games also Mario kart 64 comes to mind as another great game. Whats your favorite year?
