Does anybody think that this year has been the best year for games, and the games industry so far? What features have created the change, and is this perhaps just a glimpse of whats to come?

I wouldn't say that 2001 has been the best year for the gaming industry on a whole really.
Sony have certainly had a good year. The PS2 is finally getting those games that everybody has been waiting for, GT3, Onimusha, Red Faction. There was also the announcement of the PS2 being online by the end of the year. There is also the Hard Drive, and there are still several more brilliant games on the way.
PSOne owners haven't had it as good, because a lot more effort is being put into the PS2. There are still more good games to be released; Spiderman 2, Syphon Filter 3, and several more, but it isn't a phenomenal amount, 30 or 40 I think, and some of these are already out now, so that cuts it down a bit. I can see this as the final year for the PSOne. An end to one of the most successful consoles ever. One minutes silence please....
....Right, what about Nintendo fans. Well, it has been to bad, has it. There was the release of the Gameboy Advance not that long ago, and has been praised all over the FOG and Nintendo forums, and for good reason. It is good.
But, N64 owners have a bit to complain about, as I have already seen. There are very little in the way of games being released, with only a select few left to be released, including Paper Mario (if it hasn't alreay been released). The reason seems quite obvious. The Gamecube. Nintendo are now putting all of their effort into the Gamecube as well as the Gameboy Advance, and the N64 is the one that suffers for it.
I can see this also being the final year for the N64. Once again, one minute silence please....
PC owners. Well, not much has happened. Better and more powerful PC's continually becoming available, but that doesn't really make a PC owner happy, they just get depressed that their PC is falling behind, or they have to spend money to upgrade, as usual. On the game front, as somebody has already said, there haven't been many groundbreaking games, although I bet there a plenty to come out by the end of year (feel free to correct me here, as I haven't been paying too much attention to PC games this year).
To be honest, I think next year will be the best year. We will see the release of the Gamecube and Xbox, and the full-on 128-bit console war will kick off. The PS2 will be online, and developers will be used to the hardware, and bringing out brilliant and stunning games to compete with thos of the Gamecube and Xbox. The latter two will be keen to impress, and so to, will be releasing stunning games. It will certainly be a great year, but it is still five months away, so we will just have to wait and see what happens. And this year isn't over yet.

Yeah, my parents taught me not to ask for stuff so I haven't but I get ticked off by people who ask for GAD's and get them. I am not whining but just making a point.
On another note, I rented a PS2 with GT 3 and I am the first person to do a review of it as everything else has been a preview. here's the link.

I'm thinking of a game to review, as I have rented out a PS2. I want to review a game that will win me GAD.
The year 2001 has been pathetic for me, but not bad for games.
I think that it's Ok now, I clicked it back into place. Thanx anyway to people who would have replied.

PC games, poor!?
Some of the decent games recently:
Red Faction
Half Life: Blue Shift
etc, etc, etc.
Anyways, off topic. One of my fingers seems to be hanging lower than the others. It doesn't hurt at all but it feels differently than the others. Have I dislocated it or something?
