10 years ago it was 2008. What games were you playing at the time?
2008... I was really on a retrogaming mood in 2007-2008, so I was replaying some classics from the NES, Genesis and SNES days at the time and also trying some I had never had the opportunity to play before. I finally had the opportunity to play them through the Wii's virtual console, anthologies and ofc emulators.
In 2008 I was playing all of the NES Mega Man games I had not played before(every one except for Mega man 2) and also was playing all of the Genesis Sonic games(only had played the 1st one as a kid and never got past Spring Yard Zone). This was also the first time I managed to play Turtles in Time and Super Mario Kart. As for current or more modern games at the time I was playing Capcom vs. SNK 2. Also this period was my first time in a while replaying games I had not played in years such as SNES F-Zero, Street Fighter II and the SNES Mortal Kombat games. Funny enough, around early-mid 2009, I took a sabbatical from gaming and didn't really slowly get back into gaming again until late 2011/early 2012. What about you? |

Did a quick google search. I'd say these were the biggest games that came out in 2008:
Fallout 3 GTA 4 CoD: World at War Dead Space Far Cry 2 Mirror's Edge Gears of War 2 Super Smash Bros. Brawl How many of these did you play? Also; I could swear the first Uncharted game was from 2008, but turns out is from 2007. |

I dunno about 2007 but in 2008 I got a Wii with Twilight Princess, Smash Bros Brawl, & Super Mario Galaxy, all of which kicked major ass.

Still makes me mad how back then I got so lucky as a kid (getting random shiny Pokemon back then) and now I grind for hours at a time and still no luck lol.

The Wii had a very strong first couple of years. Also, remember how hard it was to buy one for nearly a year? It was sold out everywhere. It's probably the only Nintendo console my brother was not able to buy at launch/close to launch.

Believe it or not, I didn't even know it existed, I got it as a gift for my 18th birthday. For a portion of my teens, I was completely shut off from a lot of stuff, in favor of drugs & mayhem, so I fell off in the latter half of Gamecube's run. I also didn't know about the DS until 2007, & didn't grab one until Christmas '09. You can imagine how taken aback I was when a Wii with core titles was dropped in my lap & it had freakin' motion controls to boot. It's what sucked me back in after a few years of focusing on little more than the teen cliche of sex/drugs/rock 'n roll.

Whatever the latest Final Fantasy game was. Maybe I was just getting out of wasting all my time on XI.

I already owned a lot of games by then. So I'll just mention the only new game I got that year, which was New Super Mario Bros., which actually came out in 2006. I was going to be going on vacation in the summer, and I wanted a fresh new game to take with me to work on when I'd be on vacation. For some reason, I chose that. Oddly enough, I saw someone playing that at the airport when I was departing to go where I was going.
Now while I was on vacation, I decided I wanted the players guide, and came across a Circuit City that had it, and they were only selling it for one cent. |

I honestly can't remember what games I played in this time. I've been keeping a list of all the games I beat since 2010 and could still remember a few games I was playing in 2009, but 2008 is too far back. Especially since I didn't get my first current gen system at the time until Christmas of 2008 with the 360, so I really don't have a clue as to what I was playing for the rest of the year. I think Sonic The Hedgehog '06 was the first game I got and played on my 360. According to my achievements, I had started up Saint's Row 2 at the very end of the year. My brother and I were also playing Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2 before I got my 360, which I remember because I would frequently borrow his after school when he'd go to work so I could play Vegas 2 on my own. My achievements also say we played Castle Crashers, and that's as far as I could gather.

A mixed variety of PS2 games & Genesis games. I think that my old N64 was still working at the time, so I played with that as well.
Also, Hexen, Heretic & Heretic 2 were my go-to games for my PC. (That is one of the reasons why I liked running XP on my old computer.)

I'd imagine I was playing Metroid: Zero Mission and the GBA port of TMNT (2007). All I had was a PS2 and a Game Boy Advance until 2012 or so, after I went to college.
