So as the two gaming giants COD & GTA go head to head in all out battle for the Number 1 spot in the Video Games Charts all over the gaming world, we started to think about the best selling games from years gone by and how many units they managed to shift each gaming year since 1979.
What are the best selling games?
What systems did they belong to?
How many were sold?
Is there a difference in how many were sold back then and how many gets you top spot now?
We have some if not all the answers in our GAMES FREEZER run down below.
Settle back and strap into your Delorean (don't forget your Flux Capacitor!) for a trip back down into memory lane as we investigate.........

So that's your full run down from 1979 to 2012....That's 33 years of gaming right there!
Our favourite year was 1990 and the amazing Super Mario World on the SNES!
What was your favourite year?
We bet you were surprised to see Nintendogs pop up! (we were)
Although we were surprised not to see Street Fighter 2, Mario Kart Wii or even Super Mario Kart on the SNES feature...
Who do you think will win the best sellers battle of 2013?
How many millions will they sell?
