I've been hearing that this is the counterpart of Wii Sports of Nintendo. I am a encouraged to play these <a href="http://www.download-games-for-free.com" rel="nofollow">Download Games</a>. Honestly although its been a year, I haven't tried most of them.Kiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360541661301323626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-73295138391351650102008-12-30T09:49:00.000-08:002008-12-30T09:49:00.000-08:00Why did you choose August 14th?

I ask, not only because the date seems random, but because 8/14 is also my birthday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489574463256645325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-58751384425740374682008-12-19T00:05:00.000-08:002008-12-19T00:05:00.000-08:00right?

The list *is* a total mindfuck, in terms of both quality and quantity. <BR/><BR/>Maybe it's cheating to pick a non-calendar year but a great many of my all-time favorite games came out. I feel like there's a lot of year-end griping this year. But you're right, gaming is too good for us, except when it's not. (like when my third Xbox broke, today. Whee!)Iroquois Pliskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324582950813408440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-46376742994679852522008-12-17T19:03:00.000-08:002008-12-17T19:03:00.000-08:00how are there no comments for this?I don't think I...how are there no comments for this?<BR/><BR/>I don't think I realized the impact until I saw all these titles laid out like this: <I>holy shit, that all happened in one year</I>. If anything, this is the perfect counterpoint to the "games are growing stale" debate. Portal and Assassin's Creed upped the ante for game narratives tenfold. There were exercises in the familiar that helped redefined standards, like Persona 3 and Bioshock. Super Mario Galaxy and Boom Blox pretty much proved what games can be (I know it's cool to trash the Wii, but those two titles change things). And CoD4... and Rock Band... and Eden... and The World Ends With You... gah! It's too much.<BR/><BR/>For most critics it seems like "2008" equals October to December. 2008 was <I>too good</I> for gaming. As is every year. And that's not something I want to see change: I enjoy going to Toys R Us and having boxes fight for my food stamps. Can you imagine someone who's just now purchasing a new console? They'd be overwhelmed with quality titles. Which means devs will have to work harder to make their game stand out among all this amazing reduced priced stuff. Which means we all win.<BR/><BR/>But seriously, that list is a mindfuck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
