Which year was the best year for Video Games?

[ov3rkill]

90's and early 2000

2004 for me is the obvious choice.

 

[Pagio94]

Any year before 2005-2006. Ps3 and 360 changed a lot the gaming world, both in better and worse ways

2001.... why?



Championship manager 01/02 got released....

1999

It depends on many factors. In general the golden age was the decade between 1994 and 2004. Since 2005, quality has been dropping. The main problem is that companies:

a)Have become greedy

b)Don't want to make games anymore, they want to make movies.

We still have Nintendo and the occasional gem like Skyrim and New Vegas, but i have been playing games for more than 25 years on all platforms and i find myself increasingly unable to give a damn about most modern "AAA" releases. If not for my 3DS, i would have probably dropped gaming altogether.

Guild makes a fine argument for 2001 there to be honest..... For me personally though it probably has to be one of the 90s: 1994 as mentioned looks like a good un, but what about 1995? Yoshi's Island, Chrono Trigger & DKC2 on SNES, plus the release of PS1 and Saturn (in the West), and the launch games they had? Ridge Racer at home.... WipEout.....

I kind of like the era of the arcade, which was pre-NES days. The only thing that sucked about it was the amount of quarters I used to play those games.
