This is year just looked to be the better of all the industry years since 1987. As soon as the year started, we've all realized the greatness it woud be. But as the monts go on, i've seen it isn't what it should be. Devil May Cry 4 was just about the same as the third and first. Then, Super Smash bros. Brawl leads me to boredom as i've seen that those tons of things didn't work together well, and the major title was far worse than melee. And then, Patapon, proved to be an incredible game, just turned out to have no replay value over time. Metal Gear Solid 4 & GTA IV holds as the major games this year so far. And then there is the desappointments. Oh, those same desappoinments hitting us in 2006. Haze was a bad game. Ninja Gaiden II was far worse than the first and had one of the worse storylines of all time. The Wii survived with titles as No More Heroes and even the surprisingly good Boom Blox.

The fighting genre got Soul Calibur IV, but that's a game i've played almost three times
as the prequels are all pretty much the same as the forth chapter. Street fighter IV proved to be a very artiscally pleasing game, but it'n not out yet. The racing games got Burnout Paradise, a game everyone probably just played for the graphics. The same genre got GRID, GT5: prologue and Mario Kart Wii, but all of them was just quite good, none was really a revolution neither an mere evolution. Spore is an short game i've played for once and don't intend to play again, ending up the 8th month in 2008 with only 2 games i've really wanted to play.

But the hope isn't lost now that the end of the year holds up so many promises. Fable II, Fallout 3, Little Big Planet, Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Starcraft 2 may turn the industry sound up. The problem is: what shall i do with my Wii? Did Nintendo forgot it's new console? Did third party games just suck? How can Nintendo let 2008 ending up as a fighting/miscellanous game as the GOTY contender? Anyway GamesRadar, greeting for the criativity and all of the heart about the features. A lot of things i've been begging to see in a website was found here, inspiring my gaming editor Career.
