The next generation of video gaming has nearly arrived, so I thought this would be a good time to ask what your favorite year in gaming was for this generation :D
Post what year you chose along with what games lead you to make that choice.
For me, I have to go with 2010 because of these games:
-Mass Effect 2 (probably my favorite game of all time)
-Halo: Reach
-Battlefield: Bad Company 2
-Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver
-Civilization V
The runner up year would be 2007, mainly because of Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
So what was your favorite year?

Accidentally voted 2006 but it was still correct. Just Halo 2 only all year.

2 Replies2013 because Ghosts, ACIV, BF4, and especially GTA V.

2007-present has been just excellent for gaming. My memory's a bit hazy so I can't pick out a specific year.

2011, Skyrim brightened up my Gaming world. Best. Year. Yet.

I got my first job in September '07 and only had the money for H3 at the time as a result. Most of the awesome games of that year (BioShock, The Darkness, The Orange Box) I didn't play until later. 2008 was a little disappointing in terms of Xmas binge quality, not to mention Condemned 2 and GTA IV. Then nothing titanic until 2010, but Bayonetta, Blur, Bio2 and Reach were all mild disappointments (still great games). I only got into Red Dead a year later. 2012 had only a few real gems in the form of Trials Evo, H4 and maybe Fez. 2013 has been pretty damn awesome with GTA V, Rayman Legends, Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite. But the best of the bunch has to be 2011. Some of the best games of this generation all coincided on it, including my favourite RPG and freeroamer, Skyrim, the most stylish 'serious' game since BioShock, DE Human Revolution, and the pinnacle of Gears, 3. With those were Bulletstorm, Portal 2, Battlefield 3, and all on one day, AC Revelations, Rayman Origins and Halo CEA. And when was Ms. 'Splosion Man out?
