2025 GOTY event is up. I'm hoping to play Silksong before it's over so my list is currently prospective and non-locked.

Attention Backloggd newbies: they have the 2007 Replay on right now where you pick your GOTY and best in certain categories out of games you played in 2007. They do one each year for GOTY and then do a Replay of a random pre-Backloggd year for you to decide. They put everyone's entries together to decide the site's GOTY for each year. I enjoy it.

Backloggd's 1998 Replay is on now where you vote for your favourite games released in 1998. Get in on this!

Did any good games even come out in 1998?

Absurd year really

GOTY: MGS (I mean..there are few games that have had such a big impact on my life)
Gameplay: Crash Bandicoot Warped (Christmas 98 this was a wrap. Shame I rinsed it before the new year arrived)
Narrative: MGS (there's probably stronger candidates here objectively but i'm biased)
Art Direction: Panzer Dragoon Saga (was difficult not to give this to MGS again tbh, but panzer's style was so dream-like and beautiful)
Soundtrack: Tekken 3 (Tekken 2 and 3 defined the 90s arcade scene for me in a lot of ways with their music, still have memories of it lingering in old south london bowling alleys)
Multiplayer: Street Fighter Alpha 3 (I bought this on a hot July day and spent the rest of the summer baking and sweating my arse off with my friends in my cramped bedroom not going outside. Truly the life.)
