The Second Annual Coint and Plick Poll: ILG’s Best Video Games of 2008

Okay, okay; more tonight at the latest.

Thanks for all your work on this; I've been enjoying it as much as (or more so) the music polls.

yah thanks dude, my urging is made out of excitement and anticipation, not bitching

It's cool; I've been annoyed at myself for not getting this finished up too.

yeah this list more than the music lists makes me want to go back and discover a bunch of good stuff

(if the second half would be presented in a new thread I wouldnt mind, this one slows my computer terribly as it is. didnt help logging out either)

It's a reasonable point.

The Second Annual Coint and Plick Poll: ILG’s Best Video Games of 2008 - Part 2: The Top Forty!

I am currently porting these results over to the blog and this set of games was so wacky I had to revive this ancient-ass thread. Valkyria Chronicles getting one pity vote! a seventeen-way tie for last! the White Wolf of Icicle Creek cover! et al.

Oh cool, totally forgot about the blog, I'll stick that in my RSS reader. I admit, I'm still proud of my IF YER NOT INDIE FUK U votes for You Have to Burn the Rope, You Found the Grappling Hook, Iji and Barkley: Shut Up and Jam.

Gears of War locked in a 10-way tie for 55th is some pretty next-level challops even by ILX standards

gears is trash tho/// but i mean lol i voted for nancy drew and wld do so again

valkyria chronicles wld place much higher if we had polled this after more than 1 person had played it. same w/persona 4 probably a bunch others

Persona 4 actually did! it went from #70 in 2008 to #25 in last year's poll (on the ballot due to the Euro release)

Valkyria Chronicles probably would have been top 3 for me if I'd played it in the time period. that game fucking owns, flying pig be damned.

kinda wish i had added the persona votes from 08 to last years poll

another classic C&P moment:

fuck that game fuck that game fuck that game.

Every time I read that I wonder if I am actually G-Zeus and maybe I hit my head and had a coma but SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE AND UI JUST PLAYED FABLE II FOR OVER 2 HOURS

exhibit a: "had a coma"

Not to slight the hard work you've been doing, but for the compiled list of all games, you should probably hyperlink all the games on the list to their respective entry pages... I don't even want to think about how annoying that would be to do!

that was actually on my to-do list after I get the 2007 results up. you ppl better thank your lucky stars that no woman would ever have me.

oh right, the 2007 results were just a straight-up ILX poll result. they're up now, so I'll get started on this rn since I'm miraculously free at work today.

wow, that was much less onerous than expected - both 2008 and 2009 are fully indexed.

thumbs up brother
