Good and Bad Years for Videogames

[yoshi_7]

Which do you think were good or bad years in the videogame industry?

2010 was a brilliant year for video games, one of the strongest ones in the past decade. There were a ton of racing games, and Black Ops did not disappoint

The weakest one was 2008, I actually had to pick Mario Kart Wii as racing game of the year. That's how bad 2008 was...

Everything after the Fifth Generation of gaming pretty much sucked...

Though, I like the games of today, the years after the Fifth Generation didn't really go well today with today's gaming...

I personally thought 09 was a bad year.

Good years probably stay vaulted in history when I wasn't so interested in VG.

I don't keep track of years, I only play them and that's it.

I don't keep track of years, I only play them and that's it.

This, pretty much.

If I had to choose, then it's probably 2010. 2008 was the worst after April ended.

In 2008 I must've bought like 3 games all year, none after April I don't think. 09 I didn't buy much and this year I did buy more than I did the past 2.

I've always liked the games from the 1990's. Especially 1997, the year I was born. Diddy Kong Racing and Super Mario 64 were some of those games.

I also liked 09 and 10. They had some pretty good games. The weakest year of games was probably 2008.

I don't recall buying any new 08 games. I don't really keep track of the game years, but I guess 08 was when there was nothing anticipating.

I think after the Wii, 360, and PS3 came out, I started to lose interest in modern gaming.

I still stick with retro gaming.

2010 was horrible.
2006 and 07 were pretty good.

2001 was prolly the best video game year of all time (off the top of my head).

Conker's Bad Fur Day
GRAND THEFT AUTO 3
Final Fantasy X (at the time)
Advance Wars
Halo
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
Diablo 2 Expansion Pack (if you wanna count that)
Luigi's Mansion & Pikmin (though never played, just pointing it out )

Not to mention Gamecube, Xbox, and the Gameboy Advance all got released that year, too.

Oh, and RUNESCAPE~~~~~ haha. Took over a good portion of months

 

[AegisReflector]

Don't forget Paper Mario and Melee!

 

[HuntMac]

BOOM!

Just blew the thread out of the water.

BOOM!

Just blew the thread out of the water.

This was unnecessary.

2007 was pretty cool, mainly because it had the 4th Generation Pokemon games released.

2008 was pretty cool pre-Mario Kart Wii, It had SSBB, MKWii for the Nintendo Wii(IMO By far the best games for the Wii) and it had Burnout Paradise on January I believe, I spent most of that year playing SSBB so yeah. xP It also had LittlePigBlanket at October which made the PS3 actually worth buying.

I can't remember 2009 that much, I remember Forza 3 but that only came around the end of the year.

2010 was a pretty cool guy year, It had the Pokemon Gold/Silver remakes, some good racing games and whatnot.

Although I think the best would be 2001.

 

[Troll]

I'm going to say 2001 too.
