I wanted to do this blog before I don't have enough time. Like the topic says I'm telling which games are my TOP10 games of 2008 :) I have bought maybe 40-45 PS3 games this year and that is a lot! :P I still haven't bought all the games that I want. (Like Mirror's Edge, Rainbow Six Vegas 2...). My TOP10 are collected my PS3, PSN and other games that I have played. so lets begin :)
1. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots (PS3)
- What I can say... This year there were only couple games which could challenge MGS4 but still it wasn't enough. MGS4 brings everything together, gameplay, music, graphics, story, characters, everything! yes, videos are long! But I wasn't bored or anything when watching these videos! You have to play MGS1-3 before playing this game! You can play without playing previous games but you won't know enough to enjoy fully.
Gameplay is top notch and you won't be missing any kills because of bad controlls. It is easy and fun to use guns and all the gadgets in you disposal. Music is epic! When playing and this great melody comes in to the play then you pretty much feel what snake may feel! Characters are interesting and they are introduced well. There are lots of old characters and if you are MGS veteran you will recognice lots of characters. oh and this game has lots of replay value!
2. Grant Theft Auto IV (PS3)
- This is probably best GTA game since GTA3! Especially San andreas which was pretty bad. GTAIV has great story, lots of interesting (and fun) characters. Nico Bellic which is main characters this time is best GTA characters ever! He got the best attitude, voice(actor) and he got all the girls :P What other things makes this game number 2 of 2008? Yes, city is smaller than before but still there is lots of things to do! Graphics aren't anymore comic book like, there is lots of good radio stations, city feels more like city because all the people living there. People are talking to their mobile phones, going to shopping/work ect. You feel like being part of this great city.
3. Gears Of War 2 (x360)
- I borrowed my little brothers x360 and this game so that i could play this game! GOW1 was great game and did GOW2 beat GOW1 ass? Yes! All things are more bigger, badder and more epic! And it isn't anymore going to kick locust asses but there is other story as well. There is story where husband is searching his wife. And "ending" of this second story is touching! There is lots of same weapons as before but now there is minigun and now you can ride the brumack! game isn't perfect and ending makes you wait for the sequel (which I will play no matter what!) but GOW3 must have something extra to beat this game! What, I don't know.
4. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3)
- Yes this is a "demo" but this game still beats lots of games! (Like that **** Ferrari Challenge). I've been playing this game with my G25 Racing wheel, all assists off, full simulation, cockpit view ect. And I have to say that I'm not bored at all! Okay I want new tracks but still this game is at the moment my number 1 racing game! Cars are beautiful and sounds great, tracks are good looking and it is 1080p and it is smooth! there is nothing better to race against your friend and make 0.1 second improvement to his record!
5. Little Big Planet (PS3)
- At first I wasn't interested on this game, why? I don't know :P But when I saw more gameplay videos and learned about the game I was getting really interested! This game is pretty old school 2d game with littlebit 3D mixed together. This game makes you want to call to you friends and get them to play with you! (if they aren't already!). when you finish the story mode that isn't the end! No! That is just the beginning. You can collect all the different kind of objects hidden in the game and then you have other players creations to play! If there is going to be LBP2 makers have very difficult task ahead them!
6. Dead Space (PS3)
- I don't like horror games usually, but this game took me to very scary ride to outerspace! This game comes from EA so it was big suprise that this game is this good! Graphics are nice, also sounds are excellent! you can hear all kinds of little noices all around you and you are constantly waiting for an attack! Story is good(I wont spoil anything!) but it has some flaws and game is you running around the ship getting one part and take it to another place, so it can be littlebit boring. When going out of the ship you don't hear any noices but your own breathing and noices what your suit makes. This is why you should be looking always around you! Because enemy is silent and deadly! Next horror game that I'm waiting is Resident Evil 5 and I hope that it can top this one!
7. Devil May Cry 4 (PS3)
- I haven't played previous DMC's but I was very anxious to play this one. main character(Nero) is... little bit stupid character but still agood character. Other main character is Dante which is main character for DMC1-3. Story is pretty much destroying demons and saving a girl. Nothing special but still does the job. what I really did like and why this game is number 7 is it's atmosphere and fighting. Everything feels fun and exciting to do. This game has flaws like any other game but still one of the best games of the 2008.
8. Far Cry 2 (PS3)
- Far Cry 1 was good game. but it's ending was very bad. It was graphically one of the best at the time and Far Cry 2 isn't exception. Game looks great! Story isn't anything special but you have choices how to play the game. Will you go guns plazing or will you set grass on fire and then go behind the enemy lines or... There are lots of choices. One biggest problems in the game is that pretty much everyone is enemy. More friendlies could have been much better but I know this is big problem with developers. In the end great game!
9. Bionic Commando (PSN)
- I have played this game when it was released in snes. Great game and in my opinion one of the best snes games! this new release keeps the same atmosphere but brings it new graphics, with new music and with great(but easy) bossess. Great game!
10. Guitar Hero World Tour (PS3)
- I have played Guitar hero 2 and 3 and i have loved both. Okay 3 part was littlebit dissapointment but still. Then i heard about Rock Band but I got tired of waiting it's release. Then I found out that there was going to be Guitar hero vesion and it was released about the same time when rock band and guitar hero did have better songs so choice was pretty much clear to me. rock band 2 is released next year here by the way... World tour has better guitar, drums and mic which allows to me use instruments and my GF wants to sing so i play and she sings :) Both are happy! :P
also worth mentioning are Wipeout HD, Prince Of Persia, bioshock, Resistance 2 , Ratchet & Clank: Quest For Booty. I have to mention that Bioshock and Resistance 2 are great games but they just doesn't deserve my TOP10 title. I know that there are lots of other good games but my memory isn't best so... :P
