Eh, the Era of Ps1 was the beginning of over saturation.
Besides 2007 was objectively the best:
BioShock, Portal, Modern Warfare, Mass Effect, The Witcher, Crysis, Halo 3, Super Mario Galaxy, and God of War II
You could throw a dart blindfolded in 1998 and hit a new legendary game every time.

My favorite part about 2007 for video games was how close it was to 2008, the actual best year in gaming.
That’s when indie games started getting a foothold on consoles, including Braid and Castle Crashers. Plus Rock Band 2, Guitar Hero: World Tour, and the Wii hitting its stride with Wii Fit, Mario Kart, and a Smash Bros. Not to mention mainstream fare like CoD: World at War, MGS 4, and GTA 4.

A local pawn shop is selling PS1 Spyro the Dragon for $70.

Well I guess you’ll be throwing that dart really far.

Our standards were much lower. We’ve been spoiled.
But, on the other hand, games have gotten kind of shit lately.

I mean, not strictly talking games this year but we’ve had Baldur’s Gate 3, Expedition 33, Hades 2, Fellowship, Little Kitty Big City, Dispatch, Split fiction, Silksong, Black ops 7 (lol jk), Nightreign, Lies of P and plenty more that I probably am not aware of recently. Games haven’t gotten shit lately, games have always been shit. Just like “all music from the 70s was good” is due to only the best standing the test of time, “games were better in the 90s” is because we forgot the absolute garbage that surrounded the gems that still hold up.

Here’s are some more spoilers for The Sorpranos, Tony plays Mario Kart in an episode, and he opens the fridge in another episode.

I closed my eyes and pointed at a random spot. Got Thief twice in a row.
Guess I gotta play it now.

Kula World was suprisingly a lot of fun.

How the fuck is Half-Life not on there?

Most of these are above mid but not at all “legendary”. The series they are part of are legendary, but the specific games are not at all the high point and reason for that. There are definitely some timeless masterpieces there, but not enough to make it some singular year that has never been surpassed or equalled.

With bony hands I hold my partner, On soulless feet we cross the floor, The music stops as if to answer, An empty knocking at the door. It seems his skin was sweet as mango, When last I held him to my breast, But now, we dance this grim fandango, And will four years until we rest.
