I dunno, there are a lot of great games in 2008, but none of them never really appealed to me. Not sure, maybe my expectations have gone too high :/ Forgotten Lands: First Colony was the only klik game this year to make me late for class

Nothing really stuck out for me too. I'm sure I have some though and theres quite a few I'm looking forward to. That Poobical game and any lo-fi adventure or Metroid-like game automatically gets my attention.
Because people tend to have really short memories it's probably best to at the very least list all of this years GOTWs for people.
Then add other stand out games.
noitu love 2 was so amazingly well drawn, but the gameplay just didn't appeal to me, at least from the bits I played. Maybe I didn't see enough of it, but it really wasn't any more than run-jump-killstuff genre. I just couldn't get into it. sometimes I feel like the best-drawn games usually have the least-inspired gameplay....
Honestly, I don't really play that many. >_> I download some recommended ones, but I've always been more of a creator than a player or watcher, in more senses than just video games.

I thought the bosses and gameplay in general was pretty awesome, a long with the music.
The gameplay seemed way too repetative IMO. It was like room 1- clear 3 of these enemies. room 2- clear 4 of these enemies. room 3- clear 4 of these enemies, and have a new one. Co-op would have kept it on my HDD and some deeper gameplay.
That Baby Skydiving game was great though. I still play that from time to time. And I didn't know Ainevoltas 2 was released this year! Thats definitely one of my faves and I await the 3rd.
