The Best Games of 2004 According to GameRankings

Posted on May 20, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

2004 was a star-studded year in gaming. The year is competitive with 1998 in terms of high-quality games. With this in mind, many great games missed the top ten listing. Games such as The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, NFL 2K5, and Doom 3 all missed the cut.  As always, we rarely consider…

The Best Games of 2003 According to GameRankings

Posted on May 12, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

If 2002 was a hallmark year for the Nintendo GameCube, then 2003 was an amazing year for Xbox owners. Out of the ten best games (as rated by critics), 4 were Xbox releases and only 2 were PS2 titles. At this point, Xbox games had started to surpass other consoles in terms of visuals and…

The Best Games of 2002 According to GameRankings

Posted on May 5, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

2002 will forever be remembered as the year of the GameCube. Nintendo’s little purple box received two of the greatest games of all time in Metroid Prime and its “next gen” Mario entry. The PC platform makes a return with a few games, and Grand Theft Auto continues its rise in popularity and critical acclaim….

The Best Games of 2001 According to GameRankings

Posted on April 28, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

By 2001, The PlayStation 2 had begun to receive its sophomore software and its catalogue began to fill up with great games. These games included Final Fantasy X and the cultural phenomenon Grand Theft Auto III.   This was also the year where the Dreamcast was, for all intents and purposes, declared ‘dead’. Microsoft and Nintendo…

The Best Games of 2000 According to GameRankings

Posted on April 21, 2022April 21, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The turn of the millennium was a momentous occasion. Doomsday nuts thought the world would end and that computer equipment would suffer catastrophic failures. The year 2000 also brought us the strongest year in gaming since 1998.   How strong was the year 2000? All-time great game classics such as Vagrant Story, Chrono Cross, Skies…

The Best Games of 1999 According to GameRankings

Posted on April 13, 2022April 16, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

All great things must come to an end, and the 1990s met such a fate. With today’s coverage we close the book on GameRankings.com’s best games of the 1990s decade. After 1998’s historically great (arguably the greatest) year, 1999 was a bit of a letdown.   Today, we bid farewell to arguably gaming’s most important decade…

The Best Games of 1998 According to GameRankings

Posted on April 6, 2022April 16, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

By my reckoning, 1998 is the greatest year in gaming history. No other year had or has had as many great games released within it. In 1998, the Nintendo 64 continued its trend of having a historically great game and taking the best game of the year awards (for the 3rd year in a row)….

The Best Games of 1997 According to GameRankings

Posted on March 30, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Ah! 1997! The year where pop music and JRPGs boomed into mainstream consciousness. By this time, the Sega Saturn was done, as rumors of a successor codenamed “Black Belt” were flourishing quickly in western media.   Proof of the Saturn’s impending doom is that none of its games made it to the top ten listing…

The 10 Best Games of 1996 According to GameRankings

Posted on March 23, 2022April 16, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Personally, 1996 is dear to me. Super Mario 64, which might be my second favorite game of all time, arrived along with my favorite console of all time, the Nintendo 64. For music, it signaled the arrival of Goo Goo Dolls to mainstream prominence with their hit single “Name”, and yes, I also danced the…

The Best Games of 1995 According to GameRankings

Posted on March 16, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

With the arrival of the year 1995, 32-bit consoles made their entry into western markets. The Sega Saturn was in full force, and Sony’s PlayStation made its debut. The year was a transitional time for gamers not only in terms of upgrading from 16-bit to 32-bit games, but in changing from 2-D experiences to 3-D…
