GOTY - top 10

Dyne · 02-10-2009, 03:02 PM

Why haven't we done this yet? I always think this is a good way to show others what they missed during the year.

Let's put our top 10 games of the year. And number one can only be one choice. No dual-awards. Just pick one.

I'm currently procrastinating an essay so I can't do it right away, but my top three are certifiably:

1. Valkyria Chronicles by Sega (Overworks)

It's a love-letter to the Skies of Arcadia fans, as well as a complete redesign of the classic strategy/Final Fantasy Tactics system with strong hints of Fire Emblem.

2. Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots by Konami (Kojima Productions)

Holy crap epic.

3. Grand Theft Auto IV by Rockstar (Rockstar North)

Totally immersive. 4 hours will go by and you won't even notice. It even has Bas Rutten, that crazy Dutch bastard. Hahaha.

I dont even think I've played 10 games this year. I'll just say MGS4 deserves to be at the top. Fallout 3 and Fable 2 were also fun. Was Lost Odyssey 2008? I think it was, that one's worth a look as well.

Probably an odd choice, but being it was the game I played the most in 08 that came out in 08

1)Left 4 Dead
2)Super Smash Bros Brawl
3)

You know I bought a lot of games... probably played even less. Gonna need to think about it.

I'll just throw some out there in no order:

-Fallout 3 (PS3)
-Farcry 2 (PS3)
-NHL 09(PS3)
-MGS4
-Left 4 Dead (360)
-GTAIV (PS3)
-Valkyria Chronicles (I never played it, but I watched Dyne play it and fell in love)
- Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (DS)

Only games i really played alot from 08 were Fallout 3, GTA IV and L4D

Jason1 · 02-10-2009, 07:35 PM

World of Goo I need not even mention any others because they dont even compare.

Swan · 02-10-2009, 08:13 PM

Got to go with Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead and Final Fantasy Tactics A2.

Probably others but those are ones I have had alot of fun with.

Though I did just get Tactics last week

I'm only like...10 hours in.

I haven't done many of the main story quests, just doing a bunch of the side ones.

Having lots of fun with it.

I agree with you on that one. I watched my brother-in-law play it, and I tried it out a bit. It's really innovative.

Dyne · 02-11-2009, 01:29 AM

Ok, here's my 10. It might change.

1. Valkyria Chronicles
2. Metal Gear Solid 4
3. GTAIV
4. Super Smash Brothers Brawl
5. Soul Calibur IV
6. No More Heroes
7. Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds
8. LittleBigPlanet
9. Dead Space
10. Mario Kart Wii

Angrist · 02-11-2009, 10:11 AM

Basically the only new games I played last year:

SSBB, World of Goo.
Oh and Crysis: Warhead, but that wasn't so great. I liked the demo of Left 4 Dead a lot too.

Fyacin · 02-11-2009, 04:28 PM

Left for Dead, Rock Band 2 are definetly on mine. Trying to remember what I else I played tons this year.
