The gods of gaming have smiled upon us these past twelve moons, as gamers savoured some of the sweetest releases in living memory. Yep, this is a vintage crop, right up there with the legendary harvests of 2007 and 1998.

In 1998, we got the original Baldur’s Gate plus Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, while 2007 provided both Super Mario Galaxy and the first Assassin’s Creed. All four of these franchises loom large, once again, as sequels in this year’s hotlist, which is presented in reverse order below.
