The only two non-retro games I've played this year:

Super Mario Galaxy
Bully: Scholarship Edition

I liked them both!

[MrPopo]

1-7: Valkyria Chronicles
8: Persona 4
9: Disgaea 3
10: Etrian Odyssey 2

Damn, originally started with 1-10 Valkyria, but then remembered some other badass stuff that came out this year.

I tend to avoid multiplayer unless it's something truly special. Only four maps for L4D doesn't seem much though. Any plans for DLC?

No no no, I'm so sick of this. It's not just 4 maps. It's 20 maps. Learn to count. Each map is completely unique, massive, and pretty much more detailed than any other source maps ever made.

Well technically a campaign is either a large map or a subset of smaller maps. From my multiplayer I want more scenarios in different settings not just various scenarios in the same settings. I don't have a problem with its length but the pricing is more of an issue. Portal for instance doesn't deserve more than 10 notes. Of course people will disagree and put emphasis on the experience and immersion but I still have an old school way of evaluating content. From my standpoint Fallout 3 is the most cost-effective game of 2008, but I didn't find it much fun to persevere with Btw can I use a single copy to play with three other people over Hamachi?
