Over the last 5 years or so, Microsoft has signed and bought studios left and right in an effort to close the gap between itself and Sony in terms of exclusive content, focusing primarily on growing its Game Pass Subscription model. The bulk of these efforts has yet to pan out, but with 2023 ever drawing…
Greetings Friends! We have, after 17 weeks, reached the 2007 GameRankings.com’s best games of the year list. As we have done recently, the lower scoring version of a game that is featured twice or more on the list is removed to allow for other titles to enter. This time, PS3 versions of BioShock and COD4…
While the Xbox 360 arrived in 2005, its impressive next generation software did not hit stores until 2006. The year also saw the launch of the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii, meaning a ‘new’ console generation had just begun.  As usual, Sony’s system had an awful launch lineup, and thus, none of its games…
Deus Ex is one of the greatest first-person role-playing games I have ever experienced. The game made me love the futuristic, cyberpunk aesthetic. Its freedom of choice is legendary, and it offers a top-of-the-line story. Though the title is from the year 2000, Deus Ex is a strong competitor for the greatest FPS RPG ever…
2005 is here! It brings the last hurray of the short PS2, GC, and Xbox console cycle. In the home console space, the Xbox continued to dominate critical reception with its high-quality titles and superior rendition of multiplatform ports. The PlayStation 2 continued to punch above its pedestrian hardware specs by showcasing some impressive late…
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. Â 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)….
