Favorite Game from Every Year I've Blighted the Earth with my Existence

I know I do a series already where me and some friends determine the best games of each year based off of our collective opinion, but I'm right so consider this list the correct version.

North American releases on this one (if no NA release then just initial release date), and I would do ratings on each but it's mostly 5 stars so it's a bit redundant.

Also: F-Zero X, Sonic Adventure, LSD Dream Emulator, WCW/nWo Revenge
1999
The first game I ever played, and I'll make sure it's the last.
