Telegraph: The 50 Best games of 2008 (10-1) - Fable 2 Top Game

Telegraph writes: "Over the course of this week we will be revealing the 50 best video games released this year and offering readers the chance to vote for their favourite game of 2008.

10. Professor Layton & The Curious Village
(DS)

This DS title is essentially a beautifully packaged compendium of puzzles masquerading as a mystery story. The difficulty of the puzzles ranges from laughably easy to frustratingly difficult, but the beautiful art, simplistic gameplay and appealing soundtrack is bound to keep gamers glued to their handhelds. Suitable for children of all ages, Professor Layton & The Curious Village is as charming as it is addictive."

Congrats to Fable 2... it's a great game

Umm don't think I would even put Fable 2 on this years top 10 list.

List = Fail without MGS4.

Why doesn't ANYBODY seem to be giving MGS4 the credit it deserves? In my opinion, it had by far the best graphics and stealth-action gameplay of the year. The level/world designs were amazing, the story was epic, the acting pitch perfect, the controls were fluid and yet so deep that you could accomplish more different moves than I've ever seen in this type of game. The transitioning between FPS and third-person perspective was smooth and both modes worked beautifully (unlike other games like Fallout 3 or Oblivion where playing in third-person is basically a complete waste of time). I dunno... I just loved the game. I don't understand why it's not getting the props I think it deserves (and I'm obviously not alone on that one).

And out of 50 games, they don't find room for Valkyria Chronicles? One of the best games I've played all year, for sure. And where's Tales of Vesperia? What about any downloadable games (Siren was released on a disc in places that are not America, by the way)

Yeah, this list sucks.

It still hasn't been announced for the 360, but if and when it is all the press will instantly heap praise on the game saying it was the best game of 08 if I had to guess :)

[ClockworkSatan]

I am thinking the same thing... I honestly got to no.2 expecting to see MGS4 as no.1, but Fable 2...?

Pull the other one.

MGS4 is definately one of the top five best games of 2008. It's a fact. The production values, gameplay, level design, sountrack, and everything about it is more polished than anything else I've seen this year. Nothing else comes close.

Clearly the writer of this top 50 must have their head up their arse.

[wollie]

Anyone who puts spore in the top 10 is either 1) not a real gamer or 2) retarded. That game was the shallowest piece of crap I ever got hyped for.

PS
MGS4 is awesome, should be #1.

lmao

[Radiodread]

anyone who says Fable 2 is GOTY is obviously an amateur gamer.

[NaiNaiNai]

fable only deserves game of the year a techincal point of view, just cause of the stuff you can do. but in no way is the best game of the yaer. as well. if MGS4 isnt on there theres something really wrong. >.> as much as i bash the ps3 something is wrong with that not being in the top 10.
