I think it's the best with too many games that are GOTY contenders...well, maybe GOTY should not even be mentioned this year due to an insane amount of excellent games!

Hmm, not in my opinion. That belongs to 1998. It's been good though.

Well I've played the demo enough to be able to do it with my eyes closed... so I guess so.

The import version's getting rave reviews, but I'd love it regardless.

Idk if its the best, but its probably one of the best I've seen. 2010 already looks better though in my opinion with FFXIII, Bayonetta, BioShock 2, ME2, GoW III, Heavy Rain, Fable III, Halo Reach, etc., etc..

I guess you're right, a lot of those games from 1998 still have sequels being made and a lot of the great games from this year are sequels. Still inFamous, Dragon Age: Origins, Demon's Souls and Borderlands are all great original IPs and sequels like Uncharted, AC and LFD added a lot to already great games.

I agree with the 1998 argument, that year also included:
Banjo-Kazooie
Resident Evil 2
Tekken 3

However 1998 did not include:
Sonic Adventure (1999)
OR
Gran Turismo (1997)

It's certainly one of the better ones from what I can remember. I've only been "hardcore" gaming for a few years though.

Well, in my honest opinion only a handful of those game from this year are even fit to lick the boots of those from 1998. Not to say they aren't good, but they aren't Half-Life and LoZ:OoT good.

2010 is looking to be a lot better than this year, but that's just me. And yes, 1998 still stands head and shoulders above 2009.

The NA release date for Gran Turismo was 1998. Your right about Sonic Adventure though, that was the Japanese release date. My bad.

I think it's the best with too many games that are GOTY contenders...well, maybe GOTY should not even be mentioned this year due to an insane amount of excellent games!

This is better than 08 but then again 10 looks good.
It always seems like its the best year but then the next year pulls out even better sh*t.

You contradict yourself. It's his opinion, so therefore, for him, it's the best year in gaming. Then you say NO it isn't, but so does that mean your best year of gaming isn't opinon? What you say is fact? :I

Next year will probably be better.

Next year games (that I want):

Crysis 2

Army of Two the 40th Day

FFXIII

Uncharted 2 GOTY Edition (lol)

Medal of Honor (unknown title)

PoP 4 (SANDS OF TIME, OMG!!!!)

Halo Reach (bite me, fanboys)

So... Yes. 2010 will most likely be better. This year I only got Uncharted 2, really. Oh and Red Faction Guerrilla.

Not until a legendary LoZ comes out, Persona 5, Team ICO, and Final Fantasy comes out ON THE SAME YEAR. That would make me such a happy gamer, I'd go ahead and buy games I normally wouldn't! :D

I'm assuming they mean "best year to date", since we don't have crystal balls or psychic powers. That said, I can honestly say that I've bought more games this year than any year in a long time, maybe around the time of the PS1/N64/Dreamcast. 2009 was a great year for gaming. And I doubt 75% of the people posting on GS were gaming (or old enough to hold a controller) in 1998. So I'm taking all these "1998 was teh awsum" posts with a grain of salt.

It actually wasn't that bad... don't know why you can't crawl though... I can't imagine that being a super hard feature to include in the game.

The AI....it's so crucial to MGS. It was downright terrible in Peace Walker in my opinion. But aside from the lack of crawl and pause the rest of it seems well done.

well i was around 9 in 1998 so i enjoyed that year in gaming quite a bit...i feel what youre saying about to date but if you did it that way then every year is the best in gaming
