[The Coggies] Editors' Top 5

DoctorFinger · 12-29-2008, 06:23 PM

You thought the Coggies were over? Well, they are. This here is a coda, and epilogue if you will. The editors here at CoG wanted to just give some props to the five best games each of us played this year. There's no voting, no polls. We're not declaring these the best games of the year, just that they were the five we enjoyed the most. It's just those of us who run this site looking back on what was a truly great year in gaming.

Luckily, I was able to correct your egregious spelling of my last name with a ninja edit.

I enjoyed Prince Of Persia, but it wasn't that good. I was done in like three days, and I got all 1001 light seeds.

Psykoboy2 · 12-29-2008, 06:38 PM

And for those curious, mine are listed in order of what I got out of them.

Banacek · 12-29-2008, 06:42 PM

Oh, and if Dead Space isn't on your list, you're dead to me

Yeah, I need to try that game out. My buddy has it, so I'll borrow it from him.

You were so right about it. Sorry I doubted you.

Borrow away, but I urge you to buy it if you like it. You'll be supporting EA's new direction!

No need to apologize. As I've stated previously, I doubted EA Redwood Shores could pull it off, but that was before I played it.

TrackZero · 12-29-2008, 07:28 PM

Whoops, guess I missed the thread to get these in.

Finish the damn thing already!!! You've only beaten like 4 of 12 chapters...get on it man!!

Sorry. It irks me a little. I know how much you love the game and it really saddens me to see that you've barely scratched the surface of it.

crazyD · 12-29-2008, 07:57 PM

I'm surprised Left 4 Dead is on so few lists, and PoP is on so many. I really can't stand PoP's controls; it feels like I am more nudging the character on then actually controlling him. That said, I would call it the best looking game of the year, but one of the worst to actually play.

I know, and I will. I'm trying to catch up with everything at the one time.

Talanvor · 12-29-2008, 08:38 PM

And in other news TrackZero is now my favorite editor, since he was the only one that included Rock Band 2!! Dammit.

And Dead Space is good, but since it's so short with no multiplayer and really no replayability (just playing it again on a harder difficulty does not count, seriously devs), it's really a perfect rental.

Spigot · 12-29-2008, 09:01 PM

I'm just happy that Valkyria Chronicles, Lost Odyssey and Persona 4 made a few of these lists.

jacob.armitage · 12-29-2008, 09:03 PM

now we need a vote for who's list the community agrees with most.
