Runoff vote 2008, Game of the Year

[UnderwaterFunktown]

Edit: aahh I forgot Vesperia was a 2008 game originally

Brawl is one of my most played console games ever and easily my choice, except for the fact that Vesperia. To be fair Brawl was probably in my top 3 ever at the time and Vesperia has never been quite that high because I played it much later, but the game I like the most today would have to be Vesperia. My top 5 for the year then:

1. Tales of Vesperia
2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
3. Persona 4
4. Fallout 3
5. Kirby Super Star Ultra

2008 was also the year of another Tales game: my arch-nemesis Dawn of the New World. Honestly not a bad game if viewed in a vacuum, but it just felt like they started work on an original game and then suddenly decided at one point to brute force it into a Symphonia sequel instead resulting in messy concoction of story and lore and not doing the original characters justice at all.
