Show Me The Games You Got In 2008 & I’ll Show You Mine
As 2008 comes to a close (or has already for those of you in The Future) it’s always fun to look back on a year’s worth of purchases and obsessively list twelve months of consumption.
This year represents, as far as I know, my biggest haul. The reason? This is the year I started to get review copies of games — a blessing and a curse. The total? Exactly 53 games for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PSP, Nintendo DS, Wii, Xbox 360 and PC — just slightly more than one game per week. The majority of them I paid out of pocket for (including that copy of Cruis’n), with some courtesy of publishers or developers (Resistance 2, for example). One was a gift!
Hit the jump for my own personal list and leave your own 2008 haul in the comments.

- Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise (Xbox 360)
- Wario Land Shake It! (Wii)
- WarTech (Xbox 360)
- Wii Music (Wii)
- World of Goo (PC)
Of that 53, I “beat” 22. Six I haven’t played at all. The majority of the games acquired in 2008 were for the Xbox 360 (bias!!) with the least represented on my list being the PSP with just one game. Actually, I’m not sure if I got the Parodius Portable collection this year or last.
Anyway, make with the crazed listing!

My list spawns over 100 of games and 7 moving boxes of videogames. The latest purchase was Beatmania 15 DJ TROOPERS Konamistyle Edition Complete.
I think I should settle down and play the games I bought now....

@Bernie_do..0b: Wii Play is worth it if ANYTHING for the pool, the laser hockey, and that awesome tank game. Pew pew!

@TRT-X: How do you like the Penny Arcade game? I was thinking of getting it because I love the comic so much.
