Top 5 games of 2008


Little Big Planet
Sony’s innovative title may not be setting the charts on fire but those lucky enough to have it know that its rich mixture of multiplayer platforming and DIY level creation deserves to be in every PS3 in the land.

Fable II
Bugs and over-hype aside, Fable II finally delivers on the promises of the first game, presenting an immensely enjoyable adventure packed full of personality, moral dilemmas and public displays of farting.

Grand Theft Auto IV
A maturer perspective, darkly comic narrative and rich characterisation showed that there’s more to this sandbox series than hot coffee and car jacking.

Left 4 Dead
Surviving the zombie apocalypse has never been so much fun as co-op gameplay achieves new heady heights in this unparalleled shooter.

Braid
Using a mixture of metaphorical time-bending puzzles and emotionally charged narrative, Braid’s beauty and genius level design sees it closer to art than artful.
