It just goes to show that no matter how old or new and advanced a game or console is, each individual has a strong attachment to their favourite games and the memories associated with them. Further details on the top five years in videogaming follow below. We know how passionate the gaming community is. Seeing their first year line-ups performing so well is a nice nostalgic trip! Both the original Xbox and GameCube had launched in the later part of 2001.
This set a trend that is still paying dividends for Capcom. Plus, the first Resident Evil remake hit. Metroid Prime and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker made their debuts. The GameCube also had a successful run of critical acclaim. This is the year Rockstar Games delighted gamers worldwide with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, one of the best selling PlayStation 2 games of all time. Runner-up nostalgic gaming year was 2002. Changes that can still be felt today! Runner-Up: 2002 1996 heralded a lot of changes for the industry. And of course, the Nintendo 64 console itself. The release of seminal titles such as Resident Evil, Tekken 2, Crash Bandicoot and Super Mario 64 arrived. It was the year that saw Lara Croft become a household name.
