Shameless Self-Promotion, Continued: GameDaily's Year-End HUD

Head shot updated to reflect recent beard growth.
Year-end lists: everybody's got one. GameDaily's list, however, isn't just GameDaily's. Instead, for the 2008 wrap-up edition of their regular HUD feature, they solicited commentary from both their own writers and a who's who of people who write about games for other outlets. If names like N'Gai Croal, Garnett Lee, Leigh Alexander, Stephen Totilo, and John Davison (and Brad Shoemaker) excite you--please seek help. Then please click over to the HUD Season Finale to check out what they and a whole raft of other folks cited in their brief summaries about the best and worst of 2008.

Why they saw fit to include me in this towering list is anyone's guess, but nevertheless, I'm in there. That's why I'm posting this!

Who listed "Sony's relentless focus on floral gaming" as their biggest surprise? Who found Grand Theft Auto IV the most disappointing game of the year? How many people are going to be playing Left 4 Dead throughout 2009? You'll just have to hit the feature and find out, won't you?
