It's called "watching trailers". Gosh. *ker-shot*

*Hannah* · 12-10-2008, 02:25 AM

Because trailers are credible proof of how good a game is.

Ra · 12-10-2008, 02:27 AM

Hey, all I'm saying is that it looks like fun. And not to mention it's design looks bloody awesome. Sure I haven't played it, but it looks like something that I could really have a lot of fun with.

*The Stryker* · 12-10-2008, 06:52 AM

LittleBigPlanet is Not Awesome by the way.

Peanut · 12-10-2008, 11:54 AM

LittleBigPlanet is a sub-par platformer at best. The game itself is fun for about an hour, and only lasts about 30 minutes longer than that.

The creation aspects are worthwhile to people who are into that type of thing, but if you don't really care about it, LBP has absolutely zero worth. You should just look at all the cool level designs on YouTube, because unfortunately, the game just isn't very FUN. The controls are loose, the jumping is floaty, the three-tier background/foreground system is horrible, and the physics are unpredictable.

Get's old quick. Thankfully, I'm not the only person who decided it was nothing but a hype train, because it's selling poorly.

*Cure* · 12-10-2008, 06:44 PM

I guess for me it'll have to be Brawl, too. Lost Odyssey was pretty damn good, too, though.

*Voltron* · 12-10-2008, 06:50 PM

Game of the year? Sex.

*Mecha Cow* · 12-10-2008, 07:17 PM

What console is that on?

The REAMcast. Lawl. Get it!?

*Kid Icarus* · 12-11-2008, 02:04 AM

I'm going to say Brawl.

Or based on pure time suck and money printing ability, WotLK.

*R-iZZy* · 12-11-2008, 04:23 AM

I'm going against the grain and not putting a "maybe" on MGS4. That game is epic. Huge leaps from the previous games.

Agreed. It's definitely a top contender for me. Especially considering I played through the previous 3 Solid games (and both MG games) for the first time only a week before the game was released, so I was on a MGS high at the time.

I don't know if I can call it my GotY, though. Honestly, I've got to think about it a lot more. Like Cure said, Lost Odyssey is one I have to consider. Also a game I think got overlooked when it came time for the VGA nominations. How the f*ck does Warhammer and The World Ends with You get in over LO? Everyone must have forgot it came out early in 2008. I ran into some unfortunate problems not too far from the ending and didn't finish it, but I'm going to go back to it today and try to polish it off.

I've just had so many fantastic, and equal, experiences this year. Stuff like Gears 2, Fallout 3, Brawl, and Viva Pinata: TiP really took a hold of me.

It's really tough again this year. I thought nothing would be as tough as deciding between Halo 3, Mass Effect and Super Mario Galaxy in 07.

I remember playing that years ago. It hasn't been re-released in my area since then.

*Ecto Jedi* · 12-13-2008, 05:19 PM

I play it all the time; I just can't unlock the two-player mode.

*Hannah* · 12-14-2008, 10:00 AM

Wow. I can't believe you guys.

Haha. What I want to know is how do I unlock co-operative and not just competitive?

The Clerk · 12-14-2008, 11:23 PM

Castle Crashers. =]!!!

But uh, def. not GTA4, I regret buying that game.

Wii Fit is fun. As is Brawl. Annnnd so is Fable 2.

If anyone says Two Worlds I'll be stabbing your jaw. =]

*Duke* · 12-29-2008, 02:33 PM

I lurked through this thread a couple days ago and picked up Lost Odyssey based solely on the strong praise it received in this thread. Hopefully, I'll like it as much as some of you.
