But above all, it's the sheer volume of all-time classics that launched in 2001, particularly on the PS2, that make this a standout year, and cement its legacy as the greatest 365 days in the history of video games. This was a time when blockbuster games could be interesting and genre-pushing, and concepts like DLC and season passes didn't exist. Developers were getting more confident gamers were broadening their minds technology was improving at a rapid rate and major publishers were becoming less risk averse, in a way they haven't been since and likely never will be again. Gaming was having a moment as it entered the new millennium, shaking itself free from the largely frivolous 1990s and establishing itself as a worthy artform worth paying attention to. Everyone has their own ideas about what the best year for video games was, but it's clearly 2001.
