Tell Us Dammit! Is This Year The Best Ever For Gaming?


2011 Has been a slow burn. There were only a handful of games I truly enjoyed during the first six months but now? Well, let’s just say I didn’t stay up until 2am last night for the good of my health. I feel swamped with quality, must-play games for the first time in years. So kindly tell us dammit — 2011. Great year or greatest year?

As far as I can see it there are a handful of contenders…

2007: BioShock, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Mario Galaxy, The Orange Box, Rock Band, God of War II…

2004: Half-Life 2, Halo 2, MGS3: Snake Eater, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, World of Warcraft…

1998: Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life, Baldur’s Gate, Grim Fandango, Starcraft, Soulcalibur…

Personally? My favourite year is a tie between 2007 and 1998, but hindsight and nostalgia may push 2011 into the top three.
