You know its bad when the best games are re-releases of older titles. In at least one case a game barely a year old

Those were just the titles that stuck out to me. You did a great job, any list could be debated of course.

I'm not sold on vr though. I don't see anyone doing that for extended periods of time. I may be wrong.

As amazing as those 3d games are, they did age well

Great topic and great work on the research. We need more topics like this on the board. Have an upvote sir
Thanks!

I went ahead and added 1999 for those wanting that year represented, though I swapped out a couple of games I thought better deserved a place.

Very true. "The Last of Us" and "GTA V" might be the only games in history to win game of the year 2 years in a row from major publications. Pretty sad, despite how great those games are.

I agree that it could certainly fail, but there have been so many people I trust in the gaming industry just gushing over the experiences they've had with the Oculus Rift, that I can't help but get excited about it.

It very well could just end up being a niche product that only a small community buys.

I don't like this question. Ask a different one.

From what I've played so far, my vote is DA:I.

I only have 6.5-7 hrs on it though.

My goty is South Park right now. It's not a strong year but I don't think that it's any worse than 2012 or 2006 (console generation first year like this )

from that list, I'd have to say 1998 or 2001

That is a good pick. The game was a blast.

Would be awesome if Bayonetta 2 got it.

Problem with bayonetta is how under the radar it is.

Mine would probably be Mario Kart. My personal favorite was Don't Starve but I don't think it would be eligible since it was already a PC game re-released on console.
