Interesting that the best year was over 10 years ago. We might have more games now, but according to those stats, we don't have a better quality of game.

-- Although the stats don't show the expectations of reviewers, the effect in proceeding years of the previous games in the general society memory, all that stuff.

I saw a discussion on the [R subreddit](http://www.reddit.com/r/rstats/comments/285osi/dynamic_graphs_with_r/) about dynamic graphs and immediately had to try it out. This was made using [R](http://www.r-project.org/) with the fantastic [rCharts](http://rcharts.io/) package using the [NVD3](http://nvd3.org/) library. Data on the games comes from [Gamerankings.com](http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html).
