ok, the obvious sleeper hits of 08 are...

Valkrie Chronicles

Dead Space

Zack & Wiki

Braid

Castle Crashers

Winner: Dead Space, hands down, though Braid and Valkrie Chronicles are close.

whats ur sleeper hits of 08

Valkrie Chronicles its saddening to people buying another mediocre shooter instead of this gem-Mad_Rhetoric-

It's not the consumers fault that Sony are terrible at marketing games for the PS3.

Valkyria Chronicles is the only real sleeper hit on that list. I saw the others coming from a mile away.

My vote would go to SoaSE. I didn't even hear about it until a few months before its release.

It's not Sony's game, It's Sega's.

I know it's Sega's game, doesn't matter. MS were advertising GTA IV with the price cut on the 360 this year. Why can't Sony show the actual games that are available on PS3 when they advertise the console instead of showing NO IN GAME FOOTAGE OF ANY GAMES. They think they are cool with edgy adverts that have nothing to do with games. All gamers want is to see what games they can play on the machine they are going to buy. Sony have missed the goal by a wide margin this gen, it's one mistake after another.

And VC was originally a 360 game, but development was switched to PS3. It will probably go back to 360 now as it will be easy to port for obvious reasons, and they need to make their money back.

And Dead Space is the sleeper hit of this generation , let alone 08.

It's not that Sony or Sega are terrible at marketing games, this one was never expected to sell well to begin with. Japanese games have always been niche titles over her, with the exception of the obvious Final Fantasys, Zeldas and Pokemons.

Most gamers here in North America would much prefer getting a mediocre shooter with gore, rather than a masterpiece with an anime look. It is ENTIRELY their fault, if this game isn't doing well.

Valkyria Chronicles isn't a sleeper hit because the definition of "sleeper hit" is an unexpectedly successful game, not a good but unpopular gameCherokee_Jack

That's the true definition, yes. Although most people believe that good games that have gone unnoticed are sleeper hits.

Kind of like the whole "ego" thing.

World of Goo, where did THAT come from. thegoldenpoo

From Tower of Goo. Google it.

How is Dead Space a sleeper hit? That reached critical acclaim across the board.

Try Persona 4.

Dead SPace and Braid, i mean in what other game do you chase a princess that is actually the atomic bomb?Dead-Memories

One word: SEGA. Considering the standard of their other most recent titles, this game truly is a diamond in the ruff. VC was not well hyped either, where as Dead Space was. I would say VC is hands down the sleeper hit of the year.

Edit: Unless you count downloadable games, and I'm just not intrested in stuff like Braid. Dosn't help I can't stand the lead designer.

Valkrie Chronicles

Braid

Castle Crashers

Wold of Goo. Nobody saw it being that good. nintendofreak_2

Anyway, my pick: Sins of a Solar Empire

Nice list

I'll add Valkyria Chronicles and Disaster: Day of Crisis

Disaster didn't come out in states and hasn't sold well. (imported)

Fun game, if it does come out here I would buy it again for $40 because it's a good game. 8/10
