About Me

OBJECTION! Phoenix Wright cosplayer + me at Video Games Live Toronto


My name is Matthew and I write a small blog called The Quixotic Engineer about nerdy things. I'm a Software Engineering student at Concordia University in Montreal. My love of video games started with my dad's ColecoVision and has no signs of stopping.

Take it away, Runaway Five!

The Games of 2008
Gangles | 1:14 PM on 11.29.2008 22 comments




This year will be coming to an end soon, and I'm sure many of you will be making "Best Games of 2008" lists this month. However, a year is a long time and many of us can barely remember games that were released this Spring.

Therefore, I present to you a master list of noteworthy titles that were released in 2008. The information was scraped from the Giant Bomb release calendar, so any inaccuracies there have carried over. Have I omitted any important titles? Please let me know in the comments.

Enjoy!

Lost Winds, Lost:Via Domus, Lost in Blue, Lost Planet, what about Lost Odyssey I think that is worth noting.

@Affable Robot
I think Lost Planet would count as a 2007 release. It was re-released for PS3 this year.

Yeah I know I just didn't feel like putting the whole name in. My main point was that Lost Odyssey was on this list. My point was I was just putting other games with the Lost in their name that he did have on his list.

some of the games I played for the PC:

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
Liked it, I really did.

Fallout 3
I dont have the time to play it, maybe in a month I will try but for what I have seen it seems to long for my taste.

Far Cry 2
ok, go to my cblog, read my impressions on this game. i still have to complete it, even with the new nvidia drivers that give me more framerate.

Frontlines: Fuel of War
another one, go to my cblog, this one I can say that mini explosive and shooting toys were fun.

GRID
Liked it, but I cant drive shit anyway.

Left 4 Dead
RELOADING!!!
