My Top Ten for 2008 and Other Stuff from the Past Year
For the last few posts, I've listed a bunch of lists and top tens. But what I didn't list were the games that I'm looking foward to for this year. So, along with my normal monthly post this time, I'm going to add one more top ten list to start off the year. These are the games that may not be the best selling games of the year, but are the ones that I am most likely going to pick up in 2008.
My Top Ten wanted games for 2008!
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword DS
Final Fantasy IV - DS
Resistance 2 - PS3
Killzone 2 - PS3
LittleBigPlanet - PS3
Super Street Fighter II Turbo Remix HD - XBLA
Castlecrashers - XBLA
Haze - PS3
Too Human - Xbox 360
The Agency - PS3
So, according to the list, it looks like it's going to be a year of PS3 games for me. I'll probably pick up those ones on my most expected sales list too, but I think these are the ones I'm most looking forward to. It's about time that I got some PS3 games though.
On to the stuff from the past year... So, I'm still listening to GameSpot's the HotSpot and the 1up's Yours podcasts. If you like listening to game news journalists, those are probably the best ones I can suggest. For websites, I'm now frequently visiting Gamasutra, Joystiq, Digg.com/gaming, Metacritic, and Vgchartz. For video news, I usually watch the 1UP show and Gametrailers. A new site that had just appeared is Co-Optimus.com, which featues games that have cooperative gameplay, my favorite type of games.
On to what I've been playing... Since last month, I've picked up a couple games. Lately, I've been playing some Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, Burnout Paradise, Undertow, and Pokemon Diamond. Of all of them, I think I like Call of Duty 4 the most, but I'm really an FPS type person anyway.
As for the news, CES 2008 has come and passed, Resistance 2 is announced in the making with lots of online features, Ales Navarro leaves GameSpot as well, and that's all I can think of. Not much news on the new game sales charts, so we'll save that for next month.
So, thats it. GDC is coming up next month, so I gotta get crackin on that game we're doing in XNA. We've got lots of work to do... Anyway, here's a video.
Final fantasy!!!
