There are a couple hundred registered users here, so I figured that I'd give you guys a chance to respond via the comments section and name your top 5 games from last year. Sure, I'm a little late to that party, but by now you've all had time to sit back and contemplate your picks. You don't have to give reasons behind your top 5 (although you can), just list them like this!
(My top 5 for 2008)
5. N+
4. Gears of War 2
3. Megaman 9
2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
1. Left 4 Dead
Honorable mentions:
Guitar Hero: World Tour
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Looking back, I realize that 2 of my top 5 picks were small, "indie" (or at least 8-bit) games. I actually surprised myself with this list. I realize now that I really did like Megaman 9 THAT much. Despite the fact that it made me elbow-drop my controller in pure rage on more than one occasion, that game is totally rad. I've talked too much about N+ already, not putting Gears 2 on my list would be a bigger injustice than punching an elderly person, I'm a hardcore Smash player, and obviously Left 4 Dead is one of the greatest multiplayer games ever created. Most morons people probably won't agree with my list, but one thing that I think everyone CAN agree on is that 2008 was a FANTASTIC year for gaming.
So what are your picks?
