- thekingjames, on 01/05/2009, -0/+31I belive you you would get even more diggs if the title stated top 5 moments of 2008 in video games
- merrickx, on 01/05/2009, -0/+24Seriously? A colon?
- Abdax, on 01/06/2009, -1/+206) Jack Thompson getting disbarred.
- upick, on 01/05/2009, -3/+22Heavy Rain: Is going to be a very good game, not new in terms of game play but its a shame its only for PS3
- amitait, on 01/06/2009, -1/+162008 is sooooo last year
- doublefelix, on 01/06/2009, -2/+6He should contact digg support for a colectomy.
- uberduger, on 01/06/2009, -2/+6Tch, you're such a fanboy - it was a rubbish game, particularly that sequence with the naked mermaids.
- nesstheking1, on 01/06/2009, -1/+5I'll have you know those mermaids saved the ending from being over the top!
- Burns7007, on 01/06/2009, -2/+5Your title should include something about videogames. Just for future reference.
btw: Its also a really boring list. - Nathrat, on 01/06/2009, -2/+5Yes seriously: a colon.
- bloodwings, on 01/06/2009, -2/+5stop digging click hungry blogs that could've been easily displayed on 1 page.
- AkiraIsley, on 01/06/2009, -1/+3The fall of Jack Thomson in 2008 is definitely one of the biggest moments of 2008. That's one villain down, who's next?
- jetcombo15, on 01/06/2009, -2/+4Sweet, one whole paragraph per page! And an image on top of that!
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -3/+5Is there really a 1-hour cut-scene in MGS4? I haven't played the game :)
- Topher06, on 01/07/2009, -0/+2I personally felt January 23rd, March 4th, May 2, August 12, and December 4 were the top 5 moments of 2008 for me.
- Elranzer, on 01/07/2009, -0/+2Ken Kutaragi, hopefully.
- FFXIfrohike, on 01/06/2009, -3/+5Remember when Dragon's Lair came out and people were blown away by how good it looked? Then remember actually playing it? Yeah, QTE isn't gaming. I hope they turn this into something more than that.
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -2/+3The mission briefings are pretty long, but to be honest they aren't that necessary. They tell you what you need to know right before you start the mission anyways.
- petebot, on 01/06/2009, -4/+5They need to get Tay Zonday to do the theme song for Heavy Rain:
Heavy Rain
Close ups of a short-haired girl’s face
Heavy Rain
The Alan Wake of two thousand and eight?
Heavy Rain
Riding motorcycle through the storm
Heavy Rain
Makes me almost want a PS3 - uberduger, on 01/06/2009, -4/+5It looked good until I saw that it was based around those horrible action sequences that ruined Farenheit/Indigo Prophecy. *Shudder*
(Having said that, I'm still excited to see what they come up with, I'll just be very very wary of it until I see some good reviews.)
EDIT: By the way, I haven't RTFA (site is blocked at work) but why is a pic of Heavy Rain on a Moments of 08 article? - chaosblade77, on 01/07/2009, -2/+3I've been wondering for a while, why is Heavy Rain going to be a good game? I admit I haven't kept up with this game much because what I've seen doesn't really appeal to me, but all I've ever seen people talk about is "how good it looks."
I'm not really partial to the style in Heavy Rain, it doesn't help that when a dev team goes for "realistic graphics" the flaws stand out more. In this case, the faces are the epitome of uncanny valley and are more "creepy" than "good." - honeybrass, on 01/08/2009, -1/+2Instead I am burying for misleading and 5 pages.
- glhf, on 01/08/2009, -0/+1There were multiple hour long cutscenes. And they were B - wait for it - oring.
Most of the dialog and 'emotions' were too drawn out. Otherwise it was a pretty good game and decent (albeit crazy) storyline. - BabyWookie, on 01/07/2009, -2/+3On 5 pages, really?
- BrendanJB, on 01/07/2009, -2/+3The fanboy is strong in these three.
- funnygreen, on 01/08/2009, -1/+2they are so necessary, and yeah the game was E - wait for it - PIC.
- riposte101, on 01/07/2009, -2/+3Of course the developer is going to say that. The game is being published by Sony. That means Sony is paying for it to be made. I remember the exact same thing was said of Lair by Factor 5, the developer of that game.
- frepnog, on 01/06/2009, -4/+4agreed. i LOVE the God of War games, but that QTE ***** drives me ***** crazy. It is the ONE thing that I curse Shenmue for bringing to general gaming.
- tharini, on 01/17/2009, -0/+0i hated 2008 so bad except for my bday and holdiays and christmas
- Aseely, on 01/08/2009, -0/+0Crap, didn't mean to post, digg me down.
- WhereAmI, on 01/07/2009, -2/+2Its still a third party game. Anything is possible on the PC really but the 360 and Wii don't have the technology of the PS3 and don't have the flexibility of the PC.
- WhereAmI, on 01/07/2009, -2/+2It's a traditional Mystery/Action game that are sort of lacking at the moment. Supposedly its going to have ~60 cutscenes and each time you play it will be different, but I don't know how many endings the game has. Think of the choose your story Goosebumps novels in a way, hopefully it will be similar to that.
- Elranzer, on 01/06/2009, -6/+5"get over your 360 (or Wii, or PC) is better bias."
Only after you get over your PS3-is-better bias. Stop being hypocritical.
Also, the creator said "possible because of the PlayStation 3" not "possible ONLY because of the PlayStation 3." - VinnieDaMac, on 01/06/2009, -4/+3Actually those are top 5 moments of 2008, they just happen to be video game industry moments.
- jgubbe, on 01/06/2009, -4/+3You mean like when I farted.
- SEOtonie, on 01/06/2009, -3/+2Hasn't 2008 flown by? No not really. Oh wait it is already 2009. Hm maybe they are right.
- frepnog, on 01/06/2009, -6/+5PS3 bias. same reason the LBP "controversy" was listed, even tho the "biggest PS3 game of the holiday season" completely FAILED to deliver.
i mean, come on, one of the greatest gaming moments of 2008 is a closed room DEMO of a game that is nowhere even near being finished?
really? - 6oo63D, on 01/06/2009, -6/+4NONE COMPARED TO ___________!!!. IF YOU DIDN'T PLAY ___________ IN 2008, YOU ARE GOING TO HELL
- WhereAmI, on 01/06/2009, -14/+11It's only possible on the PS3. The developer stated this, a third party developer at that.

Just buy the PS3 and get over your 360 (or Wii, or PC) is better bias. - frepnog, on 01/06/2009, -7/+4"Also, the creator said "possible because of the PlayStation 3" not "possible ONLY because of the PlayStation 3." "
THIS. the xbox can do anything that the PS3 can do. other than play blu-ray movies. whoopedeedoo. - deporitaz, on 01/06/2009, -8/+3*Top 5 Video Game Industry Moments
- TheMachine1, on 01/06/2009, -7/+2Some people drank a lot vodka to try to forget that ***** up year 2008. Let it die.
- BlakkSheep, on 01/06/2009, -7/+2Wow.. Top 5 lists now..
Sheesh. - inactive, on 01/06/2009, -8/+1Ohh please bring Heavy Rain to xbox. I'll suck your dick.
- hydr, on 01/05/2009, -15/+5#1 - Getting the new Xbox Live update. :-)
