Top 5 Games of the Year

LittleLizard · Dec 21, 2008

Ok, you read the title, post your top 5 of this year and why.

1- Mass Effect (For PC) - Shooter + Good Story + Sex Scenes + Lots of morons to kill + Ways to Insult people = Best Game Evar

2 - Race Driver Grid - Need to say something? IT KICK ASS

3 - Fallout 3 - Would be first but it doesnt have sex scenes :roll:

4 - Spore - If 90% of the sporepedia weren't penis, it would be a copule of places up

5 - GTA IV - you ask, why is not first. Easy answer I HATE GTAS

farlex85 · Dec 21, 2008

1: Mass Effect- Epic storytelling makes a great start to what I hope will be a great trilogy
2: Fallout 3 - Great gameplay, questionable story and technical failings drag it down though sometimes
3: The Witcher- Compelling and innovative, not your grandfathers RPG
4: World of Goo- Interesting puzzle game
5: Crysis: Warhead- Pretty and exciting, albeit a bit run-o-the mill

Honorable Mention:

I can say with a certain confidence that Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Grand Theft Auto IV both would assuredly be on this list (I'll tentatively say SSB will take #2 and GTA IV will take #3), had I had the pleasure of playing them. GTA IV I probably will endeavor in soon, and one day I'll have a Wii, probably when the next Zelda rolls around. Also I'm pretty sure Fallout 3 will continue to get better as Oblivion did, and will likely end up being imo the best game released this year, it just a'int there yet, it has to add some seriously good gameplay.

spearman914 · Dec 21, 2008

1. Crysis Warhead - So much fun
2. COD 4 - So much ACTION!!
3. Left 4 dead - nice blood
4. STALKER Cleary Sky - We can "stalk" people

5. Bioshock - nothing to say, well i just said something.

AphexDreamer · Dec 21, 2008

1 Left 4 Dead
2 The Hidden Source
3 Fallout 3
4 Crysis Warhead
5 Prince of Persia

dazed554 · Dec 21, 2008

I can't think of 5, but my top two are Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead.

Wingo101 · Dec 21, 2008

oli_ramsay · Dec 21, 2008

Left 4 dead
Crysis warhead
Fallout 3
GTA IV
GRID

Far cry 2 might make it in to some official list, but it was a major disappointment for me.

jaxxxon · Dec 21, 2008

1. America's Army (still haven't found anything in the last 5 years that beats the gameplay of this game for me. Graphically it sucks but new version 3.0 in the new year should sort that out)
2. Portal (most suprising game of the year for me, loved it. but not much game life to it)
3. Trackmania (addictive as hell, and fun. does get boring after a couple of months though)
4. Crysis Warhead (great game, great graphics, but once completed I didn't feel the need to do it again)
5. Far Cry 2 (far too repetitive, but alot of fun and I still play it once in a while)

RadeonX2 · Dec 21, 2008

I looked at the left 4 dead case, and it looked extremely cheap, turned me off from it. I could have printed a better looking cover from my inkjet printer and a used case laying around....

Don't judge a book by its cover.. Valve sucks at making hard copies. They just put cd keys in the box because you need steam to download and install it.
