2001 and it ain't even close. Grand Theft Auto III Devil May Cry Halo Metal Gear Solid 2 The Sims If we're talking game impact, GTA or Halo alone would cinch it. If we're talking game quality, these five alone makes the rest of this tournament a race for second, we even have a little game called The Sims to placate the casual demographic. However, beyond the top 5, look at the following list of games that came out IN A SINGLE YEAR and tell me this wasn't an embarrassment of riches: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 Twisted Metal Black ICO Jak and Daxter Rogue Squadron II Max Payne NBA Street Pikmin Shenmue II Silent Hill 2 Return to Castle Wolfenstein Oni Phantasy Star Online Zone of the Enders Crazy Taxi (PS2) and Crazy Taxi 2 (DC) Red Faction Project Gotham Racing Dead or Alive 3 Luigi's Mansion Smash Bros Melee Gran Turismo 3 Onimusha Final Fantasy X Some of these games don't hold up well today, 21 years later. Red Faction, for example, had a great gimmick for a system that was low on titles (but not for long holy poo poo) but is just passable today. Also, while the top 5 is the Mount Rushmore +1 of the last 25 years of game design, you may not like some of these games. Not a lot of people are smart enough to realize that Oni was a stone cold classic for instance, and I didn't have the patience for the boring life simulator that was Shenmue II. But this list of games doesn't even encompass everything from that year. We got Time Crisis 2 on PS2. They were still pumping out bangers like Paper Mario and Conker for the N64. Oh and I guess the Game Boy Advance came out and gave the world access to a Super Nintendo in your pocket, no big deal or anything.
