Seeing only little mention of 2000 in here yet which amazes me

- Deus Ex, still possibly the greatest immersive sim ever
- Zelda: Majora's Mask, maybe one of the most interesting Nintendo games ever. Not many games, let alone "kids" games, depict NPCs grappling with their imminent deaths
- Diablo 2
- Counter-Strike was commercially released
- Age of Empires 2, maybe the 2nd most enduring RTS ever behind StarCraft. edit: oops. No. The Conquerers was released that year though.
- Thief 2
- Jet Set Radio, early use of cel-shading graphics which are now really common and have held up really well
- Skies of Arcadia, one of the most underrated JRPGs, very inspired and graphically cutting-edge for the time
- Perfect Dark, the benchmark of console FPSes before Halo
- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, the peak of that series

There are other big ones in here like The Sims and FFIX but honestly I didn't play or care about them so not going to act like they're part of why I picked this year.
