People often ask the question, "was this year really the best year for gaming ever?" People go to sites and argue about why certain games in the past year were not as good as those of previous years. And I have only this to say. Every new year is the best year for gaming. People say that the years when games like Ocarina of Time or Mario 64 came out were the best years for gaming, but think how they would stack up if they came out this year. The fact of the matter is that the bar for game perfection is being raised every single day. So mediocre games of this year would have received excellent scores one or two years ago. So in the answer to anybody's pointless question, EVERY YEAR IS THE BEST YEAR FOR GAMING!
