7/10 -- Panzer Dragoon Saga gets my top spot. The year is a mixed bag with my favorite JRPG, Panzer Dragoon Saga, releasing. Ridge Racer 4 finally gave me a reason to buy a PlayStation. And then there's the worst video game experience of my life, Xenogears; the game that holds the spot for the fastest I've ever lost interest in a game, TLoZ:OoT (as well as being the third strike for the franchise, putting an end to me buying any more games in the franchise); and F-Zero X, which ruined F-Zero.

Personal highlights:
Legend of Legaia
MediEvil
Might and Magic VI
Panzer Dragoon Saga
R4: Ridge Racer Type 4
RayCrisis
Spyro the Dragon

Legaia is one of my favorite ps1 games

The birth of the Pokemon and Half-Life franchises, the permanent revival of the Zelda and Metal Gear franchises, and multiple other exceptional games released. Definitely a 10/10 year of course.

Legaia is one of my favorite ps1 games

It became one of mine after playing it for the first time last year. It would have to be to play it for ~70 hrs on PS3, get to the game freezing issue, then restart it and beat it by playing it on my PS2.

Had some good fun with Zelda: OoT and Half-Life, but for me there've definitely been better years.

7/10
