There hav been a few good years for gaming, but there are four years that are the best years for gaming, but what year is the best? The years I have chosen are 1998, 2001, and 2007, These are the best years and I will give reasons for why each one should be the best year for gaming.

1998

One of the best racing games ever was started this year, it is the playstation equivalent of Forza. This was the year the original Gran Turismo was released.

The best survival horror series ever reached its best point durring tis year, I am talking about Resident Evil 2, I say it was at its best durring this year, because it still was a survival horror game durring this year. Not to mention that the game was also fun actiony, and you still got to be Leon S. Kennedy

The most critically acclaimed shooter franchise was created durring this year (Even though the besst shooter game is Perfect Dark) Half life has always had good games even this one which started it all. Half life has gotten better reviews than games such as Call of Duty, and Halo, and is known as the best shooting series ever

Metal Gear solid came out this year, there aren't many game series better than metal gear, and even though it's not the original metal gear game, it is the first one in the Metal Gear solid series, The first 3D one, and everyone likes metal gear.

Last but not least for 1998 we have The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This is a great game, it has good combat, story (Not as good as Metal Gears), and invented the lock on which is used in alsmost every game today, not to mention it is the most critically acclaimed game of all time.

2001

Final Fantasy X was released this year it is arguably the best in the series (and with 13 that is a good accomplishment, but no one can decide between this one and VII) It was the first one to use voices for the characters, had a great story andAMAZING graphics, it was all around good. and actually had a sequal

Devil May Cry

Devil may cry has been awarded as best hack and slash of all time (Beating evenGod of War) Using an incredibally cocky but funny lead character, cool weapons,great gameplay, pretty much Dante can do anything you want him to

Grand Theft Auto III

The game to bring Grand Theft Auto into 3D this game practically invented the sandbox genre, it was so amazing that no game has ever been able to copy it, you can ddo anything you want, the most free roam game ever, you will never get bored with it.

Silent Hill 2

This is the scariest game ever made, that is all I can say about it.

Halo: Combat Evolved

Halo is pretty much the creator of Xbox, without it we might not have Xbox, it has always been known as one of the best games ever, with a great campaign, and the best multiplayer ever.

2007

Bioshock

One of the most fun and moderately shooters out there, it has a great atmosphere, the plasmids were the best part being able to shoot lighning, fire, insects, etc, and the idea of big daddy and little sister was genious

Super Mario Galaxy

Its mario, and its his best game since the days of the Nintendo 64, he's doing some of the best platforming there is and its in space

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Its call of duty at its best, the Current time and with one of the greatest campaigns and plot twists ever you won't soon forget it.

Assassins Creed

Assassins creed was innovative with the whole climb anything concept, kill the bad but not the good, and the hidden blade, all these made it one of the greatest games of that year

Those are all some of the greatest games from some of the greatest years, but what year was the best?
