Of course not. Both have pretty revolutionary stuff.

2001 vs. 1997

One-sided, right?

Nope.

Bandicoot solos, imo. (reply)

Quarterfinals Are Here! (reply)

Unfortunately I missed Round 1(2001 beat 1995) but right now, you have 23 hours to vote for what definitely might be the hardest decision ever:

1997(Final Fantasy 7, Castlevania SOTN, Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64, Parappa the Rapper) vs. 1996(Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario 64, Super Mario RPG, Resident Evil, Quake)

Cast your vote, and talk about it here!

Yep, '93 Has Less Than 14%. (reply)

More than Half-Life 2 and Halo 2? More than WoW? (reply)

Sonic and Knuckles wasn't even a very good game

And you don't have very good taste. :-p

More than Half-Life 2 and Halo 2? More than WoW? (reply)

To say nothing of the games themselves,

Halo 2 essentially single handedly created modern online console FPSs, and Half-Life 2 pioneered a lot of tech we have been seeing in games since, from HDR to weird subsurface scattering on peoples' faces, to guns made to manipulate physics. WoW, more than games like Everquest, brought MMORPGs to the mainstream. My MOM knows what WoW is, and she doesn't know the difference between Sony and Nintendo.

These games introduced these things to the public and did them so well that the industry was changed.

Sonic and Knuckles wasn't even a very good game, and the thing it introduced to the world was being able to play Sonic 2 with a new character...which admittedly is very cool.

Sonic & Knuckles. ;-) (reply)

30% loss against 2002.

1985 +1 The console strikes back. (reply)

If it weren't for the NES in 1985 when would we have seen the return of console gaming? I'm sure we would have, but I suspect not nearly as soon.

plus Goonies, Back to the Future, & Better Off Dead.

Ah, thanks. 2010 was pretty damn good too :) (reply)

I'd take 2009 over 2007 (reply)

CruelLEGACEY — Mon, 08 May 2017 06:04:10 +0000

Assassin's Creed, BioShock, & Mass Effect all started in that year. We also got Portal through the Orange Box & Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Oh...and there was that Halo 3 thing. Small game. No one played it. Had a new thing in it called ...uh...Forge, I think. Fancy new feature. Too bad it didn't catch on.

I've been sitting here waiting to see if anyone would chime in, but to my surprise...well. No love for 2007?

2007 set the trends. There is yet to be a year with the same original I.P impact, quite like what was seen in 2007 for gaming.

Unless I'm getting my dates mixed up, 2009 was AC2 and ME2, both of which are generally considered large improvements on their predecessors. Plus Bad Company 2 (still the best Battlefield game, for my money) and ODST.
