gaming Favourite game(s) for each year?

[Jackleberry 1,920]

I'm not so good at explaining things, but ...

 

... I was just thinking about how Arma 2 was my personal favourite game of 2013, then I went ahead and named a couple of other favourite games for the previous years, when I figured that this might be a cool idea for a thread. I dunno, this is the first time I've made an actual sort of 'discussion' thread. *Shrugs* And yes I know a thread like this exists, but that's just for 2013 (and I think there's one for 2012), this one is for every past year that you've played games for. If it's too similar anyways, or if this exact thread does in fact exist already, feel free to merge/lock this or something.

 

So, what was your 'GOTY' for each past year? They don't need to have been released during their respective years, so long as you considered it your favourite game during that year, it's all good. Here, use this as an example:

 

2008: Pokemon FireRed

2009: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl

2010: Call of Duty 4

2011: Dwarf Fortress

2012: Minecraft

2013: Fallout 3

 

I hope that helps. xD Anyways, here's mine:

 

~ [2008] Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (This is the furthest back I can recall right now)

~ [2009] Call of Duty: World at War

~ [2010] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

~ [2011] Minecraft (Anything before this may be a bit off)

~ [2012] TES V: Skyrim

~ [2013] Arma 2

~ [2014] Arma 3 (Yes I'm calling this one early. xD)

I really don't pay attention to year after that year is done. In most cases I forget what year they even came out except a rare few like Darksiders in 2010 or DmC in 2013.

 

So I'll just name 2013's GotY for me: DmC hands down. Not only the best game in the franchise but also beat out all the other games I played from the year. Could have been Tales of Xillia but after the "ooo shiny" feeling wore off I cared less about the game.

2005: Star Fox Assault

2006: The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess

2007: Super Mario Galaxy

2008: Super Smash Bros Brawl

2009: New Super Mario Bros Wii

2010: Super Mario Galaxy 2

2011: The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword

2012: Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed

2013: Ratchet & Clank: Into The Nexus

2014: Likely going to be Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros., or Hyrule Warriors (whatever they plan on calling it)

 

I wouldn't say for sure if those were my favorites. There's a lot of ties for other games I love. I don't really have any one specific favorite game for one year, but if I had to choose I guess that's how it would go.

 

And yes, I'm a nerd.
