Best of 2008

[Capt.Marion]

L4D is pretty kickass, especially when you get a couple of friends together and play it.

Didn't play anything else save for the CoD5 demo...

 

[ShadowbaneX]

thats not the point, the point is to judge the things that were released in 2008, if not, you are saying that Portal was the best game ever, and then we would be voting for the best things ever, and in that case I would say RO

Why? The games of 08 were crap. And I'm not saying that portal was the best game ever (although it's still a damned good one), I'm just saying that 2008 was...less then spectaular when it came to it's releases.

L4D is pretty kickass, especially when you get a couple of friends together and play it.

L4D is pretty kickass only when you get a couple of friends together. Playing the game with bots or with random idiots isn't that great of an experience.

Left 4 Dead.

It breaths fresh air, even if the rounds are quickly done.

Happy New Year to you all....

You don't seem to understand, even if they are all crap, you have to pick one of them and not pick something from another year, even if its a thousand times better, because it simply doesnt belong here, yeah you can say that portal is stil better than any of the 2008 games, and we respect that opinion, some will even share it, but thats not the matter, there are games from other years that are better than Portal or any 2007 and 2008 releases and they are not in this poll for a reason. This is about what is the best game released in 2008, not about what is the best game that can be played in 2008 or what game from other year is better than any 2008 release, by breaking that rule, people here would vote for Half Life, Starcraft, RO, Diablo 2, Operation Flashpoint etc...

 

[ShadowbaneX]

oh, I do understand. I understand quite alot. The fact of the matter is, I still think Portal was the best game in 2008. It takes a bit of a sense of humour to understand this though.

 

[Fedorov]

oh, I do understand. I understand quite alot.

no, you don't

The fact of the matter is, I still think Portal was the best game in 2008.

the fact matter is, this is a poll about 2008 and we don't give a f*ck about preferences from 2007

 

[Shadrach]

Chill... its just another list

Best game:
Darkest Hour
and
World of Goo

Best album:
Doktor Kosmos - Hall

 

[The Masta]

Best series:
Generation Kill

QFT!

 

[Troels]

Best music: Jedi Mind Tricks - A History Of Violence.
Best game: Best game for me was TF2, but that's an '07 game like Ralf said.
As for movies 2008 was pretty meh.

 

[Nimsky]

Yeah, Generation Kill was awesome.

Okay, my list.

Best game
Falllout 3 and Left 4 Dead. They are both equally great and both do what they do very well. But I'll vote for Fallout 3, because it needs some lovin' in the poll.

Best music:
Amon Amarth - "Twilight Of The Thundergod" was my favourite releae. Brutal and melodic metal about the Vikings simply awesome. Man, I listened to that band a LOT since SiC introduced me to them this year.

Black Mountain - "In The Future" is a very close second.

Best film
Haven't seen / downloaded any that came out in 2008. Guess I have some catching up to do.

 

[dogbadger]

Am I to take it that with no votes so far clear skies is not all that, considering shadow of chernobyl got a few votes last year when put up against what seemed like an much stronger line-up?
Is it that fallout does the same sorta thing a lot better?

I'm not really quilified to vote as I've only played the l4d demo.

 

[Fedorov]

oh, I forgot, best live action series: Dexter

 

[ShadowbaneX]

no, you don't

ok, one last time. I'm going to completely explain the humour and thus compeletely kill the joke, but it seems I'm going to have to, to get my point across.

Scenario: You're sitting talking with some people that might know a little about games, but know little about First Person games, and certainly don't know Portal. You turn to them and say, "yeah, Portal's a great game, bar none, the best game of 2007," then you pause for a second, and then continue, "and probably 2008 as well."

Now, in doing this, you're not only praising Portal, because it is rather ground breaking and the humour is awesome, but you're also making a joke at the expense of all the games of 2008 and, let's be honest, this year hasn't exactly been a bumper crop of awesomeness in the video game department.

There, joke explained, and completedly killed.

A real kneeslapper you have there.

 

[fiftyone]

ArmA 1.14 , sorry joke.

Clear Sky is a very good game, it just pisses me of.
Crysis Warhead was very good, I wonder when the full game will be released ...

 

[Reddog]

Fallout 3.

 

[kapulA]

TF 2! I only started playing it when 2007 ended, so yeah, it's a 2008 game for me. Other than that, Gen Kill in the series department and Public Enemy No. 1 or Instinct de Mort definitely takes the cake in the best movie section, imho.

 

[Murphy]

Is Wall-e from 2008? If so then that's my favorite 2008 movie.

 

[Xendance]

My vote goes for Mass Effect, too bad it's not on the list

 

[Bolt]

Best game - Project Reality (well, technically, the latest patch was released in 2008, so it's OK)

And if Generation Kill series were released in 2008, then write them as the best movie also.
