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…
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 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…
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…
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)….
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…
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…
Up to this point in our weekly 1990s GameRankings series, 1994 might be the best year in gaming of the 1990s decade so far (keep in mind that 1998 still to come). Big titles from huge franchises populate the list. Some of these games, such as Final Fantasy III (VI), Super Metroid, and Lunar: Eternal…
Another week, another 1990s list! This week we are going back to 1993, a year which was key for Japanese role-playing games, and PC gaming within the critic world. For the most part, since the NES’ arrival, home consoles had dominated the game scene in the critical realm of things, but by 1993 PC gaming…
For the past three weeks, we have been on a 1990s rollercoaster ride ranking the decade’s best games according to the defunct meta score video games page, GameRankings. This week is 1992’s turn, and as expected, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Sega Genesis, and the Personal Computer remain the top performers. In 1992,…
