Ah yes, that is a good year too. Very tough decision but has to be between those two.

I feel on balance that the incredible games released more than make up for it.

98 got Tomba! So 98 has to win!

That was admittedly an amazing game. I remember putting the demo disc into my playstation to have a stab at it over and over again to get as far as I could before the timer ran out.

But on balance, the games on the list for 2001 are just too good.

Ok, now that you posted this up I'm blown away....I thought 98 was a sure-fire WIN but dammit I will be voting 2001 now if these years go head-to-head.

4 of some of my favourite games of all-time are in this list.

Silent Hill 2
ICO
Final Fantasy X
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

For me, these 4 outweigh the heavyweight 4 of Zelda:OoT/MGS/Tekken 3/RE2

There's no question these are the TWO BEST YEARS though. Still, 1997 has the greatest game of all....Final Fantasy VII. That game just means so much to me when it came out it impressed me more than anything will ever again in the gaming world. That was the PEAK! After FFVII things impress but not on the same level.

Yeah, I had to double check the release dates of several of the games to make sure it was legit because I found it hard to believe so many incredible games could be released in one year!
