I honestly dont remember a time when so many big titles all came out around the same time. Assassins Creed, Witcher, Orange Box, Mario, COD4, GoW, Crysis...the list goes on and on and on. And the thing is we wont find that any of these games will make us truly happy, but bits and pieces from each one of them will fit into the big picture.

Oh...look...my bank account is dwindling away!

Hard for me to really remember even though I'm sure there have been better years.

2008 = Possibly best year of gaming ever. Many games that were supposed to come out this year got pushed back to early 08.

God of War 3, Resistance 2, Tekken 6, Soul Calibur 4, LittleBigPlanet, Final Fantasy XIII, GTA4, SSBB, Gran Turismo 5, etc.

So Many Games and Sony is absolutely dominating 2008 like crazy.

Hell no!!! I can't recall anytime in the past where so many damn good vid games have been released. My eyeballs are so red right now from playing some of them for the past few days. And that's only SOME of them. I don't even have Halo 3 (which I won't get till it becomes a platinum title) or Bioshock. I've been glued to COD4, Thrillville (only cause i'm a rollercoaster fanatic), and TF2.

Not really...I´m playing for almost 20 years but all the games that camefrom September and (hpefully) come until March-April 2007 is the biggest wave I´ve ever seen.The last years didn´t have been THAT good,but what they say is true : After 2 years of a console-release (like the 360 right now) you get what you paid for :D

I never had so many problems choosing between the games and never been so blank...XD

1998 still best year i feel ever.Runner Ups: 1992, 1997, and 1999 (Least in America with Dreamcast and PSone and N64 peaking).

Remember, many come out, few succeed.

I remember only 1998. That was a great year for gamers. If Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed and Silent Hill Origins score AAA 2007 has a chance to overcome the 1998

Personally I have to say that line-up is far better than this years - although I am really excited about the games still yet to come, I had no idea all of those games were released in the same period.

Next year does look to top that for me, personally. Games like the long-awaited Starcraft 2, GTAIV, Spore, RE5, etc all have me really looking forward to 2008.

well lets not forget that some of these games arent out yet and are not gauranteed to be great. they more than likely will be, but we shall see. the way i look at it though is this. this topic comes up every year and every year people speculate. i dont think we will know until in a few years, if people are talking about this year the way people do 1998

I'm sure there has been better, but no I can't remember another year as good as this.
