top games of 2008

linked from mtv.com...
metacritic (which is increasingly becoming just about the greatest site there is...) released their top games of 2008. for those who don't know what metacritic does, it takes the reviews of every magazine/website that submits a review on a certain game, album, movie, etc and creates one aggregate score. it's very similar to rottentomatoes but isnt just for movies.

anyway, here's the list...
Metacritic’s Best Games Of 2008 
1. Grand Theft Auto IV (98 — 360, 98 — PS3)
2. LittleBigPlanet (95 — PS3)
3. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (94 — PS3)
4. BioShock (94 — PS3) and Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 (94 — PS2)
5. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (93 — Wii) and Gears of War 2 (93 — 360)
6. Chrono Trigger (93 — DS) and Braid (93 — 360)
7. World of Goo (94 — Wii, 91 — PC / AVERAGE: 92.5)
8. Fallout 3 (93 — 360, 92 — PS3, 92 — PC / AVERAGE: 92) and Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Armor (92 — PC)
9. Rock Band 2 (92 — 360, 91 — PS3 / AVERAGE: 91.5)
10. God of War: Chains of Olympus (91 — PSP) and World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (91 — PC)
I gotta say, this list seems pretty appropriate. gta iv is by far the best game i've played this year and its nice to see GoW make the list as well...

any thoughts? leave em in the replies
