Reader Discussion: What Has Been The Best Year For Video Games?
With 2013 behind us, we can all agree that it was a fantastic year for video games. Was it the best year for video games? Or is there another, more impressive year?
2013 saw new Sony and Microsoft consoles, but it also saw a slew of excellent video games that we will surely be discussing and playing for years to come. BioShock Infinite, The Last of Us, and Grand Theft Auto V all released this year, along with many other excellent games.
Other years show similar pedigrees of fantastic releases. 2004 saw the release of Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Fable, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Halo 2. 1998, another fantastic year for video games, saw the release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life, and Resident Evil 2.
Has there been better years for video games other than the examples offered above? Do you think 2014 will trump 2013? Or are you already thinking ahead to 2015? Let us know in the comments below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
