A New Challenger Has Appeared! ‘Time’ Rates Top 10 Games of 2008

By Ben Gilbert Monday December 8, 2008

Unbeknownst to us here at Geekadelphia, Time Magazine chooses its Top 10 of everything once-a-year, reverting for a moment to the lowly blogger’s position of writing up list after list until everyone who uses Digg can see the words even when they close their eyes. Okay, so in fairness, we stick to a strict regimen of geek-themed edible treats and over covering certain Philadelphia-based videogame-related events but we can’t help but poke fun at a publishing institution whose writers routinely misrepresent our main steez. Regardless, as part of their giant list, they’ve thrown together a list of 10 particularly enthralling videogames that came out in 2008. The list is certainly less “hardcore gamer” than it is “Halo gamer” (hey, we love teh Hayloes, relax) but it also covers the arty bases (Braid drops in at number two) for those concerned.

Don’t worry though, the Geekadelphia Holiday Gift Guide will be coming to you sooner than you think. Are we more comprehensive than Time Magazine? Maybe, maybe not, but we’re certainly a lot more fun.

Force Unleashed?!

You know, when these list are made, I’m use to seeing a few things I may not have remembered, but the fact that a couple of them I had absolutely no idea what they were made me scratch my head a little.

And seriously The Force Unleashed….no.

Also,how is MGS4 missing from the bunch?
