I believe that this year is truly a memorable PC gaming year, in fact I think that it might well be the very best for our beloved platform since gaming exists on it (well, as far as I can remember myself, that's for sure). I'm not old though, so of course I haven't actually lived all the years of gaming on for the PC since "it exists" per se, but I have tried a fast Google search yesterday, and took some time to check out some releases in the past decade, and I can't remember when gaming had such a nice influence, originality and quality on the PC market than this very year. Maybe it's all too subjective, but still ... out of mere curiosity I made this thread.
So what say you ? Have you ever lived through a much, or relatively better year for PC gaming ? If so, can you say when and which games that came out that particular year made 2007 look inferior ? I can remember that 2006 was particularly nice, but 2007 ? I think it blows any previous years for gaming out of the water by a thousand miles (at least on the PC, which is the platform of the subject here).
Here is a list of "known" titles that are available since the year began, or will be available before the end of this year:
F.E.A.R.: Perseus Mandate
Supreme Commander
Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance
Left 4 Dead
Half-Life 2: Episode Two
