2008 Year in Review

by perryvandell

Well, 2008 has definitely been a busy year, both in games, and in the world. The economy is on it's lowest decline since the Great Depression, and we now have a president who seems competent enough to get the country through this crisis.

Well, 2008 has definitely  been a busy year, both in games, and in the world. The economy is on it's lowest decline since the Great Depression, and we now have a president who seems competent enough to get the country through this crisis. That's enough of the real world now to take a look at the games that game out this year. 2008 was a year that arguably topped 2007 with a plethora of magnificent games such as Burnout Paradise, GTA IV, Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, Fable II, Prince of Persia, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Left 4 Dead, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Dead Space to name a few. Some of these games I still need to start and I'm a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of games that are out. 

    I am also looking forward to 2009 where we will be treated to Prototype, Resident Evil 5, Final Fantasy XIII (maybe though my money is on 2010) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I have confidence that 2009 will prove to be another great year for gaming and hopefully a great year for life in general.
