This is Matt Rodriguez aka Majiesto to most of Shakefire. I am an avid movie goer and video gamer. Video games are my passion so video games shall be the subject of my blog. Of course I will post about other things but for now, lets take a look at what this year had to offer.
2009 is approaching fast and with it comes a slew of new and exciting games. As we move into the new year, we mustn't forget what 2008 has given us. Here's a look at some of the best games this year in no particular order...
Metal Gear Solid 4 - An epic ending to one of the most epic stories in gaming
LittleBigPlanet - Play, Create, and Share with one of the most innovative games of the year
Super Smash Bros Brawl - Battle one another as your favorite Nintendo characters along with a few 3rd party supporters
Gears of War 2 - Defend earth from the swarms of Locusts with stunning graphics and gameplay
Grand Theft Auto IV - Go wherever you please and do what you please in the vast Liberty City
Prince of Persia - Aid Elika in ridding her kingdom of the corruption; all in a beautiful cel-shaded environment
Resistance 2 - Engage is massive online battle of up to 60 players with a variety of weapons at your disposal
Fallout 3 - Create your own fate as you decide to do good or evil in this post apocalyptic warzone
Burnout Paradise - With fast cars and massive crashes, it's no wonder there is so much to do in Paradise City
Mirror's Edge - Make your own path through the city by jumping, climbing, and free running your way across rooftops
It would seem like sequels takes the cake this year with only 2 new IPs making the list, LittleBigPlanet and Mirror's Edge. If you haven't played these games yet, then what are you waiting for? You don't want to be behind when 2009 comes around do you?
