Good, good. I'm glad to see LO get some lovin'. I just picked the game up myself, yesterday, and I'm enjoying it so far.
@RonBurgandy2010,
I LOVED that game, but it just didn't make the finals, I guess. But, seriously, I adore No More Heroes. :)

Lost Odyssey beats out Fallout 3? Resistance 2 beats out Left 4 Dead? MGS4 beats out anything?
THESE AMAZEES ARE NOT SO AMAZING.

MGS4 vs LBP for game of the year is a really tough call.
I would probably have to choose LBP because of the sheer amounts of laughter/enjoyment from playing the game multiplayer.

I agree with you on every game up there that I've played, which oddly enough is most of them.
Your BEST RACING GAME is a superb choice, as well as your BEST DS GAME and BEST ADVENTURE GAME.

So... I guess you enjoyed Lost Odyssey quite a bit.
I'm surprised Braid didn't win you over as Best Puzzle Game. The puzzles in that game were difficult, but it felt so good to actually get through a few of them.

I sat next to Chad for four hours on a Mexican bus and he played Professor Layton for most of that time. True story.
I can agree with about half of this list, Mr. Concelmo. I like your runner up for best graphics!
The only thing that made me go "whaa?" was the voice acting win for Lost Odyssey. Granted most of it was great, but General Kakanas made me want to pull my brain out with a plunger.

I dunno what super powered PS2 you own Chad, but my Resistance 2 is for PS3. XD
Also, you HAVE to try Tatsunoko vs Capcom. It's easily the best fighter of the year.

GREAT AWARDS!
Glad to see Mega Man 9 won something (and runnered up for Best Graphics!!!!!)
Lost Odyssey is truly, like, whoa.
I'm going to buy World of Goo today!

glad someone shares almost the same opinion on top honors i have. lbp and mgs4 have had all the eyes at my house fixed to them. i play warhawk, people tell to turn it down. lbp, people tell me they can't hear the other player so it gets turned up. mgs4, people can't say anything because they are hypnotized.
i agree with every game you just listed even if i haven't played have of them.

The list looks pretty good, except for the part where you called Smash Bros. a fighting game. But I guess you had to fit it in somewhere to give it a reward, and giving it "Best Multiplayer-Platformer" wouldn't mean that much.
I think Lost Odyssey's disc one ending should be known by all. I should be able to say "My Grandma dying is almost as sad as the end of disc one" and people should know I'm referring to Lost Odyssey.
great list simply because it lacks GTAIV
although I wouldn't hold it against you if you gave it an Amazee simply for being most overrated game of the year.
and you have now suckered me into getting Lost Odyssey because of your glowing words. my wife is going to divorce me once i get that Im sure.

Um, the end of Disc One. That is all
SO TRUE <3
I still haven't washed my hand, Chad. It's like, dirty and stuff

You obviously did not own a PSP and Patapon, etc. And for best music game, DJ Max Portable!
I'm with DJ on this one, sorry Chad .-.

Amazing list...as usual. LBP is amazing, I don't understand people how knock the platforming or the story levels. What do you think of the MGS level pack?
@EternalDarkwing
There's actually a lot to Smash Bros.'s fighting system. I still can't believe not many people know about dodging, which I always thought was pretty basic.

You had my love and respect up until Game of the Year. I will now deny you ONE PUPPY. I hope it stings.
Oh Chad. I generally agree with 99.9537% of everything you say. Is it too late at my age to still become IRL pals with someone? lol
Fantastic list. It does my heart a profound amount of good to:
1) See Lost Odyssey receive so much love. I really adored that game. The more 2008 lists (from people I actually respect) that I see that include it, the more I hate myself for leaving it out of my own top ten.
2) See Left 4 Dead only achieve honorable mention as Multiplayer game of the year in your book. I'm so tired of having to read about that game.
3) See some love for MGS4 (essentially copy and paste what I said about Lost Odyssey here).
4) See Dead Space's sound design get props.
You and Collette never cease to amaze me with actual sensible choices and meaningful things to say about our favorite artform. I hope to be wowed by your incites some more in 2009.
(I'm aware that I'm laying it on mucho thick, but I think your opinions are the bee's knees)

Fun list, Chad. But I've seen just about enough of people making lists that separates the year's top games into boring-ass shit categories like "best music", "best graphics", or "game of the year". I think you need to blaze a trail with categories such as "Best Resident Evil 4 Clone" for Dead Space, "Best Burnout Game That Isn't A Burnout Game" for Burnout Paradise, and "Best Final Fantasy Since 1994" for Lost Odyssey.
I know you're ready, Chad. It's time to make the jump.

Chad, I love you so much right now. This is the best list I've seen on Dtoid (sorry Nihontiger). Therefor I'm posting the Chad Concelman Dolphin Hug gif animation again.
Here is my list. Don't worry, it will be fast.
Most amazing bloggers named Chad Concelmo in 2008
and the winner is..
CHAD CONCELMO!

Hmm... I really want to argue with this list, but I just
can't. Gosh darnit, maybe one day I will disagree with you.

I'm not doggin on you Chad (number 1 chad fan), but why list multiplatform games as only 360? I know you probably played them on the 360, but people in the media always list multiplatform games as 360 instead of ps3/360. I know its stupid, but I think small things like that curve the mentality that the PS3 doesnt have any games :(. In fact, the only games the PS3 couldn't play on that list was Lost Oddessy and Braid.
Just a though :D

This is a great list, while I disagree at some points obviously due to my MGS4 fandom I would have picked that game for best voice acting and ending. However I do not have a 360 so lost odyssey and braid are games I have not played. But yes, in all a very great list and I agree LBP is definatly GOTY. And Resistance 2 is awesome, the epic scope and the amount of fun I had playing Co-op and the campaign are just awesome. Hope to see you online in R2. Co-op campaign sometime??
