Ok, let's just start by saying that I'm definitely a gamer but I'm not "super ultra hard-core" by any means. I play games when I got the time. Some weeks I have more time than others. I play primarily on the PC but I am a 360 owner (when I can get it away from the fiance). Anyway, here's what I would list out as my favorite games for 2008, in reverse order for more suspence :}
#4 - Left 4 Dead (XBox 360):
The game is incredibly innovative. The zombie idea is not new but the way they went about it is just too much fun. The multiplayer is tight and the solo campaign (if you can call it that) has got great replayability. The A.I. that auto-adjusts is the thing though that puts this game over the top.
#3 - Left 4 Dead (PC):
Everything I said above but without the dual-stick setup. I'm a keyboard/mouse guy and in this case it adds enough to the gameplay that I had to list it as a seperate item.
#2 - Fallout 3 (PC):
The environment is incredible, interactive and huge. The way the game lays out the quests and lets you dictate the way the world works was a pretty strong concept. Having every decision impact not only your character but the entire world is wild. The replayability is wild as well. There are so many things you find yourself saying "I gotta try that next time" that you just can't help but coming back again and again to see what's all out there.
#1 - Lord of the Rings Online, Mines of Moria (PC):
It may seem funny to list an expansion pack as my #1 Game of the Year but when the expansion contains this much content it's really a game in itself. All new areas, all new classes, all new gear, craftings, guilds, etc, etc.... It all works awesome together. If they would have included some entry-level areas it would have been a complete standalone game.
