Top 5 games you played in 2008

[bushwack]

Not games of 2008, any great PC game that sucked up your time last year. List your top 5.

 

In no particular order:

Heroes of Might and Magic V

Excellent turn based strategy in the HOMM realm.

 

1701 A.D.

This game is soooo addictive. Real time city builder resource management war game. I need the expansion pack now.

 

Lords of the Realm II: Siege Pack

So it's 12 years old now, still a good expansion pack to an awesome turn based medieval strat game.

 

The Orange Box

Yeah I know it's kinda cheating, but for a price of a single game there's a lot of goodness inside.

 

Fallout 3

Simply Awesome.

 

Biggest let downs for me? Galactic Civ II, STALKER, WoW ,UT3, Hellgate London

UT2004 - still my favourite game ever, I just can't move on I only have one heart to give and definitely logged more hours on this than any other game this year.

 

The other four aren't in any particular order:

 

HL2e2 - I'll break up the orange box, because I'm man enough to do that.

 

Portal - nuff said.

 

Gears1/2 - yeah, this is me cheating, though I did play gears1 for PC

 

Boishock - I enjoyed it.

 

 

 

Let downs/bored downs - UT3 by far (or was that the year before? either way, biggest let down ever), cod4, crysis (it was fun, just not as fun as I expected)

 

Games yet to play in 2009 - fallout 3 for sure, TFU, though I have an xbox now, so I might not be getting them for PC

I pretty much gave UT a rest last year, but I'm back on it again.

 

Yeah I forgot about UT3 so much I forgot is should have been on my letdown list, as well as Hellgate London.

1. Bioshock

2. UT2004

3. Crysis

4. Left 4 Dead

5. Call of Duty 4

 

I don't think that is any particular order, even though it is numbered. It really was a tossup between Bioshock and Left 4 dead for top honors.

 

Sorry UT2004...since the downfall of the community, you have to take a lower tier.

1- Dead Space

2- Assasin's Creed

3- Call of Duty 4

4- Team Fortress 2

5- Portal

 

1- dead space is so immersive among other things

2- i just loved backstabbing people and getting away with it in AC

3- thats the game that got me playing competitively, i still love it

4- such fun with the taunts and random situations

5- needless to say... best concept EVER

 

im looking forward to : Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Half-Life episodes and other awesome Valve games

Hmm.... let's see if I've even played 5 PC games all year:

 

Left 4 Dead

Team Fortress 2

Portal

Half Life 2: Episode 2

 

I guess I only got 4 new games in '08 (or 2 if you mash up the 3 that came with the Orange Box).

[anonymo]

1 - Fallout 3 (had I got the PC version I would have played it just as much)

2 - Left4Dead

3 - TF2

4 - CSS

5 - Age of Conan

 

This list in no way represents quality, only a list of the games that I spent the most time with. Actually the quality comment really only refers to Conan, and not that it was exceptionally bad, but doesn't hold a candle to the rest of the list.

 

Actually I've realized that I haven't been playing many PC games in the previous year.
