I'm curious as to what everyone's favorites are. My top 5 personal favorites of the year are:
(1) GTA IV (game of the year in my opinion)
(2) Gears of War 2
(3) Left 4 Dead
(4) Metal Gear Solid 4
(5) Devil May Cry 4
Funny how 4 of my favorite games have the number 4 in them.
What are your favorite games of 2008?
Gonna name some that will probably not see much light in this thread (the underdogs basically):
Lost Odyssey
Ninja Gaiden 2
Infinite Undiscovery
Last Remnant
All freaking awesome games. All so underrated. LO was put off as an average JRPG with somehow cliched characters, Ninja Gaiden 2 went into reviews with hate, came back saying "oh, but teh NG1 was teh better", Infinite Undiscovery is actually pretty good, but this jrpg I do understand why some people dislike (it's the essence of a stereotypical cliched jrpg story- still well made though), and the Last Remnant which suffered a bit from the Lost Odyssey story and umm... technical issues? Uhh... we should subtract Gears of War 2 also. The only true technical problem you'll notice is the textures not loading until 4-5 after (hello! every UE3 game does this) and then a frame stall every once in a while while in combat, which doesn't exactly effect the game.
GTA4
Saint's Row 2
Gears 2
Left 4 Dead
This list will probably change when I get my PS3 for christmas. With LittleBigPlanet, MGS4, Resistance 2, Resistance 1(Though released in 06'), and Madden 09.
So far I would say:
Fallout 3
GTA IV
Dead Space
Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 will probably be added to this list after I've played them.
Wii - (Tied) No More Heroes and Mariokart Wii(kart is an emotional pick I know that it doesn't actually deserve a GOTY I'm just a suck when it comes to the Kart series.
PS3 - MGS4(no question) Also ,"Overall Game of the Year!"
PSP - God of War - Chains of Olympus-
Best Downloadable Game - Wipeout HD
Multiplatform - Burnout Paradise
mobile - Tap Defense on the iPhone - It's effing free
