The EZA Community Top 25 of 2008!
-
Wow, going through that list really took me back, feels like another lifetime.
I played surprisingly few games from that year, and actually disliked quite a few I played, so it wasn't hard at all to come up with a list, I only had to cut a couple.
Weak year for me, apart from my GOTY which is one of my favourite games ever.
-
Submitted my list. Holy fuuuuck I needed to make some tough choices.
Every game on my list is some GOTY best in class type shit.
-
Looks like you've all submitted way more diverse lists than I was expecting-should make for an interesting countdown indeed.
-
@jdincinerator I'm pretty sure we counted BlazBlue and Street fighter IV as 2009 games.
Also Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is missing from the list. Came out in the west in 2008.
I think 2008 is a pretty weak year. I finished 21 games from that year and quite a few that I dislike. I don't think there is any other year where I played this many game I dislike. It doesn't take a lot for me to enjoy a game and I know really well what type of games I like and dislike.
-
@jdincinerator I suggest to explicitly state rules in the first post. This will make it easier for newcomers.

@el-shmiablo said in The EZA Community Top 25 of 2008!:

-
Fuck me there was a game called Muslim Massacre. Don't think that shit would fly nowadays.
-
I'm not sure if copying the entire Wikipedia list straight to here as it is is the best solution as there are a lot of ports and non-western releases among there. I hope anyone didn't include such games on their lists yet.
I am, however, happy to once again take part in this! Gonna send my votes in soon.
-
@ffff0 Ok I will put those up once I am aware of what the rules are.
-
@dipset Bro I was like that with Buzz! Quiz TV.
Legit there hasn't been a quiz game since that comes even remotely close to that baller ass game. I pray every day for a reboot. Hell, I'm pretty certain Knowledge is Power was originally supposed to be one, considering the host is the same voice actor.
-
@jdincinerator Err... you tell us, since you are organizer of this event. If rules are the same as in previous votes, they are still worth reiterating. As I said, this will make it easier for newcomers.
-
@ffff0 Yeah true but admittedly I only followed what I was meant to do in previous community votes and probably only passively looked at the rules. Whatever the case I'll get those rules up.
-
@jdincinerator A few more 2008 games to add to the list:
- Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
- Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
- Lost Odyssey
- No More Heroes
- Professor Layton and the Curious Village
- The Last Remnant
- The World Ends With You
-
Oh noes, Lost Odyssey was 2008? I need to change my vote!
-
Okay yeah Lost Odyssey really fucks up my list.
-
Uh oh. Just discovered another big boy released in 2008:
-
@dipset Not forgetting:
-
@dipset Bro at one point like half my list was racing games.
2008 was amazing for racers.
-
@dipset which Motorstorm would you say is best? I have owned the original (bundled with my PS3) and Apocalypse (bundled with my PS3DTV) but sold both after playing once or twice. You guys make me feel like I should give it another shot.
-
@e_zed_eh_intern I'd personally say Pacific Rim is the best in the series. Just an all around incredible game. Nothing beats racing through the jungle as lava from an erupting volcano deforms the track.
