Pick the 10 nominees for the Best PC game of the Year 2008.

For the new forum writers of the Gamespot, just letting you know that

Gamespot always pick the 10 nominees for the award, by platform, by genre, and best game of the year.

I wonder what you guys would pick for Best PC game of the year 2008.

so far, I can think of Sins of Solar Empire, Mass effect, and World of Gooooos(I think World of Goo might win)

Sins of Solar Empire - Good but not good enough. I will be shocked if it gets Best PC Gam. No single player? Long matches? Its a hate or love game, whereas most hate it.

Mass Effect - Great game however it did start on a console. Best PC game should be reserved for those that were original on PC at the same time as consoles or exclusives.

World Of Goo - .... dear god, I hope you're kidding.

You sir, as not good at picking best overall games. Opinions fine and all, but Best PC Game represents what the majority would like, and what a PC game should be like (in terms of content)

Come back to me in about 2 months, actually at least 1 month.

Have you seen the games coming out next month? More probably AAA games than the qhole of the year so far.

Sins of Solar Empire - Good but not good enough. I will be shocked if it gets Best PC Gam. No single player? Long matches? Its a hate or love game, whereas most hate it.

Err...No.

Err...no to you.

WTF is World of Goo??? GPAddict

Never heard of World of Goo.thusaha

It's an indie physics game. It's quite fun and has some great reviews.

Err...No.

Err...no to you.

Fair enough

Probably SOASE or Dead Space. Crysis Warhead/GalCiv 2 are expansion packs, Stalker: Clear Sky/Far Cry 2 are flops and Mass Effect/GTAIV are ports from last year.aliblabla2007

gta iv is from this year only and i think has a good chance of being pc game of the year

Far Cry 2 definately deserves to take it.

SOASE should also be a nominee.

best PC game so far this year: King's Bounty: the Legend.

Err...No.

Err...no to you.

Fair enough

But so very wrong. Sins is by far the best PC game to come out in 2008.

Best game: Mass Effect vs. The Witcher Enhanced.

But I think by the end of December we can add Left 4 Dead somewhere in there, probably.

Mostly a disappointing year when we are saying that the best two games came from a Xbox "Three Hundred and Sixty" Port and an enhanced version of a game that came out last year.

World Of Goo - .... dear god, I hope you're kidding.

Begemott

What's wrong with picking World of Goo for PC GOTY? It's not necessarily my favorite game this year, but it's definitely up there. It's unique and creative, its gameplay is varied and very well done, it has tons of replay value and it's a very polished game overall. Most importantly, it's insanely fun. "But does it have great graphics?!" Yeah, it's pretty too!

i dont know about the best game of 2008, but i know that empire total war will be the best of 2009 ;):)strider_ATI

Definately.

Deadspace

The Witcher Enhanced Edition

Crysis Warhead

5. crysis warhead

6. Sins of solar empires ( the best rts game of 2008 until now )

False, not all of the games for this year have been realeased. No psychics here sir, we like the future to come as it may.

far cry 2 dead space brother in arms mass effect fallout 3thenewau25

Commas please. Personally, I would say that we are unable to make a choice yet, because most of the games haven't even come out yet.

Games i can think of are

1. Mass effect ( yes it was first on 360 but the pc version was much better )

2. Left4dead

3.Red Alert 3

Nice list. Mine will probably end up being very similar, though I haven't played all of them as of yet. Oh, but Dead Space is definitely making my list.

My nominees are:

1)Crysis Warhead (expansion = disqualified)

2) Far Cry 2 (No flashlight and paintball guns = disqualified)

5)GTA 4 (port = disqualified)

6) Left 4 Dead (its got to do with Valve so...) (zombies?! are you kidding me = disqualified)

7) Red Alert 3 (relies on short skirts and tight tops for advertising purposes, crappy box art = disqualified)

8) Fallout 3 (has potential)

9) Spore (didnt play it but again seems like the thing they would include) (absolute waste of my money = disqualified)

10) The Witcher : Enhanced Edition (does this count?) (ofcourse it counts it's the best game on your list so far)
