Eurogamer's Top 50 Games of 2008: 10-1

43
Here we are then, the final installment in our Top 50 Games of 2008. It's worth reiterating once again that the list is not intended as a definitive rundown of the 50 best games of the year, but instead reflects votes cast by our staff and contributors based on the games they have played and enjoyed.

A landmark in achievement for gaming is number 30? Why should I care about their choices for 1-10.

What are you talking about? Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 was a MUCH better game than Metal Gear Solid 4.

/#1 sarcasm of 2008...

And so was Guitar Hero: World Tour! /sarcasm
if your gonna put a music game in the top ten, than atleast put one that actually deserves to be there like Rockband 2.....and the reason MGS4 was at 30 was because the idiots at eurogamer gave it an 8/10

I have it but won't even play it until I finish MGS 3 and 2. Still, I was honestly scaling the list expecting this as 1 when fallout went 2.

Little did I know it was 30. For shame. V chronicles, maybe, honestly, the best game of the year itself in reality????

Not even on the list.

"Oli Welsh: God knows why Sony thought an experimental 2D platformer would save the PlayStation 3. It didn't. It did, however, save 2D platformers, which in the long run is probably just as important. It's such a happy little riot, especially in the fantastic four-player co-op. "

Wasn't Oli Welsh the dumbass that wrote the MGS4 review and gave it a 7?

I can't even count how many of the games they put above Resistance 2 didn't deserve to be there. Mercenaries 2? Condemned 2? Give me a break. Those two games aren't NEARLY as good as Resistance 2. And that's just sticking with the action genre. It barely cracked the top 50 (#47 to be exact) and that's just idiotic for one of the most epic, addictive, and deep gaming experiences of the year. I don't care about your comparisons of its campaign to Gears 2 or its competitive to Halo 3 or its co-op to Left 4 Dead, it takes all three of those segments and delivers a remarkably fun game that any FPS-fan who owns a PS3 simply needs to own. And MGS4 at #30? The games they put above it are just insane. I can't believe how unbelievably stupid this list is.

I do agree with #1, MGS should have been top 10 at least.

That said, they have somewhat redeemed themselves by having LBP as No. 1. If MGS4 wasn't gonna be No. 1, I would have had LBP as No. 1, glad it did.

Once I saw that Condemned 2 was in the top 20 and Dead Space was not I stopped reading. Dead Space should be somewhere in the top 20, it out resident eviled resident evil.

No, no, no...

They put the wrong list up.

When they said Geometry Wars 2: Retro Evolved, they meant to put Super Stardust HD...right? RIGHT???!!!

GW2:RE sucks in comparison to SSHD. How does GW2:RE get in the top 50 games?

And from Eurogamer, what do you expect?

No Dead Space in the top 50 if am make no mistake... And Condemned 2 is there, in the top 20. To be complete jackass, they could have put Alone in the Dark on the top 3.

No Valkyria Chronicles either.

MGS4 number 30

meh... good job eurogamer

I find the Dan Whitehead comment on LBP to be funny. It shows he doesn't get it though. LBP is about more than just playing a platformer. It's about making your own levels. Sure it has room for improvement but what game doesn't? LBP will be one game that evolves. I don't know if they'll ever have a sequel. They might be able to just keep making changes and add more features and options. They already added a paint gun.

Oh I read it, I just think its wrong to say that GW:RE 2 is better than Metal Gear Solid 4. I don't care if it based on votes cast by the staff. If it was that way, wouldn't it be a reflection of how their site feels?
