Games are memorable for many reasons, but it's those special moments in games—the ones that make you say 'holy shit!' that burn themselves into the back of your mind and allow you to recall them each time those games are brought up.

These moments can range from scripted events designed by the game developers themselves, to provide scenes which define players' memories of any given game.

Games this year offered no shortage of memorable scenes and sequences that will be talked about for years to come. We've compiled some of the very best sequences in gaming this year, which you can see scattered throughout the following pages, where they can be found among certain multiplayer moments that left us reeling.
