2010: The Year of the Cluster

Hey everybody. Just got to playing Sakura Wars (awesome game!). However it doesn't help matters that in the month of May alone, I am getting the followinggames:Red Dead Redemption, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Trauma Team, and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

It's even more sad that I can't finish the back catalogue of titles that I got back in January let alone collect titles I want to collect (Resonance of Fate is a good example). This is the only year I have felt that for once, I might not be able to keep up with every game. Hence, in my humble opinion, this could quite possibly bethe year of cluster quality titles.

What do you think? Was there a year with this over abundance of great titles?

Oh yes I forgot about 98'. That was one heavy packed year.

2010 is surely a great year...not sure i can keep up with all the amazing titles either :(

1998. 1080 Snowboarding, Baldur's Gate, Banjo Kazooie, Fallout 2, Gran Turismo, Grim Fandango, Half Life, Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Pokemon Red and Blue, Resident Evil 2, Rogue Squadron, Starcraft, Thief, Unreal 1, Soulcalibur, Rainbow 6 and Tekken 3, just to name a few. Seriously, I doubt we'll reach the heights of 1998 ever again.Danm_999

I think 2004 might've been the biggest year.

[QUOTE="hellhund"][QUOTE="PandaBear86"] Most of those games you mentioned don't have multiplayer, so although they were awesome by 1998's standards, I think the current market would have a different opinion to those games. I bet some people would say 2009 was the best simply due to MW2 and some other great games.

[QUOTE="PandaBear86"][QUOTE="hellhund"] Some people would say 2009 just because they have short memories. MW2 will be forgotten before long anyways.hellhund
