| There's always talk of what console is best, or what game in a series but now and again best year in gaming is brought up.
I'm personally a fan of 2007. A lot of things happened news wise like sega and nintendo working together to bring us the 1st game with sonic & mario in which was the Olympics games.
But we got the following games, which were notable releases (or I just like):
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 Crackdown Peggle MotorStorm Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 God of War II The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Super Paper Mario Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Odin Sphere Forza Motorsport 2 Tomb Raider: Anniversary Dirt Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition Pokémon Battle Revolution The Darkness Ninja Gaiden Sigma Mario Strikers Charged Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Sam & Max Season One BioShock Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Blue Dragon Wild Arms 5 Stranglehold Heavenly Sword Skate Eternal Sonata Sonic Rush Adventure Halo 3 The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Project Gotham Racing 4 Folklore The Orange Box Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure Battalion Wars 2 Naruto: Rise of a Ninja Manhunt 2 Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga Super Mario Galaxy Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles Assassin's Creed Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Mass Effect
Some absolute classic there, but reason i bring this topic up is this year seems just as good or better. There's two new consoles coming, we've had the likes of Tomb Raider, Ni No Kuni, Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, Pikmin 3, Fire Emblem Awakening just to name a few with some more hopefully great games to come this year in Pokemon X&Y etc. So is this year the best or has there been better, I know likes of 1997 had Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3 but hard to remember though as i was 7.

| I remember that issue of NGamer that reviewed each year in gaming since the new millennium. Good times, great memories.

Looking back, 2007 was ridiculous, wasn't it? However, I'd actually put forward 1998 as being the greatest year in gaming. Amongst others, 1998 saw the releases of...
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Banjo-Kazooie Resident Evil 2 F-Zero X Metal Gear Solid Grim Fandango Half Life Street Fighter Alpha 3 Tekken 3 Gran Turismo Pokemon Red/Blue Sonic Adventure Yoshi's Story 1080 Snowboarding Tomb Raider III Turok 2: Seeds of Evil Ridge Racer Type 4 Spyro The Dragon WCW/NWO Revenge
...and a load of others. Amazing. 2001 is a shout as well. Could 2013 be another?

| Yeah 1998 does look like a good year, maybe better than 2007 even. |

| I always go with 2007 as my go-to best year in gaming. It was my favourite time to be a gamer, at least, what with loving my Wii and experiencing the Xbox for the first time. Good stuff. |

| For me it's either 2009 or 2010. These were the years that sold me on getting a PS3 with games like Assassin's Creed 2 and Uncharted 2. |

| This year hasn't been great for me. The 3DS has been going great guns, true, but the Wii U is still stuttering, even if it's slowly getting into its stride now. It's down to X/Y and SM3DW if it wants to compete with the greats...
Phillips did have a good shout with '98, and I'm not sure I can give anything better myself without researching. '97, with SM64, MK64 and Lylat Wars, was another good one. Also, there are a few games that would have made good years all on their own: TTYD, Metroid Prime, and Twilight Princess are some such. |

| Good shout's but I'm thinking gaming as a whole Balla, Like you said 3DS has a had a great year whist Wii U having a iffy one, so Nintendo this is so-so but I'm thinking like I said as whole. Even if you've not played or going to play a Bioshock Infinite but you must realizes how big that game is, same with me GTA V doesn't bother me but I know that a huge game, so when we look back at this people will go it had GTA V that year . So if the question was what was best year for Nintendo it could be likely be 1997 with the games you said. |

| I understand that, but this is personal subjective opinion, correct? And for me personally and subjectively, gaming and Nintendo are synonymous. I don't give two figs for TLoU, however great it may be. If I were trying to give an objective opinion, then maybe I'd speak differently. But I'm not! |

| I did say good shout though and I know your pretty much solely a nintendo gamer, so understand your choice and opinion. But I was trying to give a objective opinion with my pick of year, I couldn't really care less about Super Mario Galaxy but know how important it was hence why I brought it up in my list of games of 2007 which I still think is a great year due to Mass Effect and Bioshock. But didn't want to go 2007 just because of those two game's or Any other just for one or two things. |

| I went subjective with mine - just so happens 2007 is also a good shout for an objectively good year too. |

| I'd've said 2007 as well, though 2008 saw Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart Wii and, most importantly, The World Ends With You, all of which kept me happy for a very long time. Probably some more games, too. There tends to be more than three released in any one year. |

| 2008 is a very good year too: TWEWY, Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, Brawl, GTA IV, MGS IV, Lost Odyssey, DMC IV, MK Wii, Persona IV, Gears of War 2... Damn, I'd probably go for 2008 now. |

| Oh, you really do. Back on The Old Place, we had a thread on it that spanned 70 pages. |

| That's a lot of pages, does anyone still use the old place. I never did (apart from 3DS birthday vote, which i was invited to vote in) but just curious. |

| Lot's of other games came 2nd or 1st but none have had as much talk as TWEWY, I've bought a few games because of you guy's but nothing like this they've been one's i was leaning towards. |

| It's £18 on eBay. Sounds a great Idea Jay, you could do like my release thread and news but combine the two and pick a year like 2003 September like you said. |

| Yeah, that's the sort of idea I'm going for. Sort of a cross between a news/release thread and a game-specific thread, where we'd talk about playing through a retro game as if it was brand new. |

| Good stuff. I'll probably fire up the first edition on September 1st. I'll have a look through the years and find an interesting September for us to peruse. |

| Am I too late to join in with the TWEWY love-in? It's possibly my favourite game of all-time. I haven't played it in a while (I lost the cartridge some time back) but the level of adoration I gave it back in the day I have never since matched. Make a point of playing it, please. |

| So this was originally about which is the best year in gaming which Jay has turned into a great topic looking back at certain years. Then this seemed to become a love in for TWEWY (watching a eBay auction).
I still think this year will be one of the best for gaming, I was looking at some of the older topics on here and noticed the Favorite PS3 topic and how that could be quite different now with the likes of Ni No Kuni & Last of Us appearing on that system. So i want to discuss what games have you played this year (came out in 2013) and what your still looking forward.
I personally played the following: DmC: Devil May Cry PS3 Finished the story Ni no Kuni PS3 Got 35hrs in but got stuck Fire Emblem Awakening 3DS Finished and most of the DLC Tomb Raider PS3 Finished the story & most of the tombs God of War: Ascension PS3 Done about 3 chapters awful game Lego City Undercover Wii U Finished story Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Wii U Played about 11 hrs mainly online Need for Speed: Most Wanted U Wii U Got 3 or 4 MW races to go Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon 3DS Did the 1st Mansion, didn't get on with it BioShock Infinite PS3 Finished the story, my current GOTY HarmoKnight 3DS I've done 1 level Injustice: Gods Among Us PS3 Finished the story Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D 3DS I've done one world Grid 2 PS3 Done 1st season awful racer Animal Crossing: New Leaf 3DS Not played for a while The Last of Us PS3 Finished the story New Super Luigi U Wii U Why did I buy, didn't even play Game & Wario Wii U Just bought not played yet Project X Zone 3DS Done a level EarthBound Wii U Not Played Pikmin 3 Wii U Finished story but not 100%, done all missions Mario & Luigi: Dream Team 3DS Barely Played Attack of the Friday Monsters! 3DS Barely Played Mighty Switch Force 2 3DS Barely Played DuckTales: Remastered Wii U Played for 20mins The Wonderful 101 Wii U On operation 4 of 9 Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist Wii U Done the opening Pokémon Rumble U Wii U Not sure how long this is but played for a good few hours Rayman Legends Wii U I would say I'm done as much I will do as I can't see me getting 700 or even 400 things
That's the lot, I didn't include any VC games apart from Earthbound due to fact they had all ready been released in EU. PS3 8, 3DS 9, Wii U 12 (not bad seeing there's no games) a total of 29 game's so far this year.
Personally looking forward to getting these over the next few month's, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Wii U Beyond: Two Souls PS3 (My last PS3 game sorry I mean movie) Pokémon X and/or Y 3DS Sonic Lost World Wii U Batman: Arkham Origins Wii U Call of Duty: Ghosts PS4 Driveclub PS4 FIFA 14 PS4 Killzone: Shadow Fall PS4 Knack PS4 Resogun PS4 Watch Dogs PS4 The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds 3DS Super Mario 3D World Wii U
PS3 1, 3DS 2, Wii U 4, PS4 7, So next gen is where I will be playing most. With a total of 14 more games to look forward to and there's a few things planetside 2 which I will give a bash and the stuff on Xbox One I like the look of like Killer Instinct that i won't be buying this year. So 43 games to decide my GOTY, I know what it is at the moment and can't see anything coming out that will change it.

| Lists! I love lists. Past:Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (3DS VC) (barely started before my 3DS got stolen. Maybe one dungeon?) Luigi's Mansion 2 (finished with all statues, current GotY) HarmoKnight (finished apart from final final level) Fire Emblem Awakening (got to about mission five, abandoned) Animal Crossing: New Leaf (about two months' worth, 80%-full museum and half a dozen Public Works projects, save file lost) Game & Wario (first five games tried, including a decent amount of Patchwork, then largely abandoned. The Miiverse game still gets the odd play, and hasn't banned me from Miiverse yet - how're you doing, Busk? ) Present:The Wonderful 101 (only played two missions. They're long!) Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. (got to the bed quest, restarted due to pinching of 3DS, now back in Mushrise Park) Earthbound (Wii U VC) (currently in Twoson. Haven't played it for a while, but I will get back to it!) Future:Rayman Legends (all right, I'm getting it!) Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HAYEE DEFINISHUN (maybe, possibly after a price cut) Pokémon X (GotY contender?) Legend of Zelda: a Link Between WorldsSuper Mario 3D WorldDonkey Kong Country: Tropical FreezeBravely Default: Flying FairyGot my eyes on a few downloadables too, but I don't know which ones are being released this year. |
