First place is undoubtedly 1998. Look at this list of games, come on. Massively innovative and beloved titles that established the benchmarks for multiple genres for the next 2 decades of gaming. Am I really the first person to mention OoT? It established not only the 3D Zelda formula for the next 20 years, but action adventure games in general. Z-targeting, hello? Half-Life redefined the FPS in the same way, as did many of these other titles. Even the ones that weren't super innovative were extremely top notch. 1998: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Metal Gear Solid Half-Life StarCraft Thief: The Dark Project Resident Evil 2 F-Zero X Baldur's Gate Mario Party Marvel vs Capcom Tekken 3 (on PS1) Second place and very close is 2001 for similar reasons. The birth of the open world game with GTA3, the crystallization of the console FPS takeover via Halo, the awesome framework for character action games with Devil May Cry. Silent Hill 2, Ico, MGS2 and more being unforgettable games that were presenting new ideas, styles and artistic presentations that we hadn't really seen before in gaming. 2001: Grand Theft Auto 3 Halo Devil May Cry Max Payne Super Smash Bros Melee Silent Hill 2 Metal Gear Solid 2 Ico Diablo II: LOD Gran Turismo 3 Final Fantasy X Third place is 1994, which had games of absolute top notch quality, but not as much innovation as my other picks. Super Metroid and FF6 are still the best in their series, Earthbound is a transcendental experience. System Shock gave birth to the immersive sim genre on PC. Awesome year. 1994: Super Metroid Earthbound Final Fantasy 6 System Shock Tekken Donkey Kong Country
