So what actually held your interest in 2008? Was this year as good as 2007? What are you looking forward o in 2009?
Personally, I only had vague interest in Bad Company and Prince of Persia. This being a year filled with sequels to games I never played (Resistance, Gears of War, Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto, etc...), I didn't really get that many games. For some reason, I just caught up with all the stuff I missed in 2007 or 2006 like Bioshock and FEAR.
I wouldn't say 2008 was as good as 2007. But October and November were simply ridiculous in terms of how many games were released at the same time.
And I'm pretty much only looking forward to Project Origin and Halo 3: ODST for 2009, sadly.
