Forums - Gaming - How Many Games Did you Buy in 2008?

I'm somewhat curious to see how Vgchartz purchasing patterns in 2008 compared to market patterns. So I think we should conduct a survey of what people bought in 2008 and then tally the results.

I'll go first.

In 2008 I bought:

Wii: Blast Works: Build, Trade and Destroy (May), Boom Blox (May), De Blob (Dec), Geometry Wars: Galaxies (Jan), MLB Power Pros (Dec), Nights (Jan) and Wario Land: Shake It (Dec)

I have only played three so far because I had a massive backlog going into the year...still playing Blast Works

DS: Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (Aug), Brain Age (Aug), Professor Layton (Aug), Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (Dec), The World Ends with You (Aug), Yoshi's Island DS (Dec)

Only gotten through Professor Layton so far. Still playing Advance Wars

WiiWare: Final Fantasy: My Life As a King (May), Gyrostarr (uh I forget), Lost Wnds (Dec), Mega Man 9 (Dec), Orbient (Dec) , World of Goo (Dec)

Finished My Life as a King and World of Goo. Both excellent. Just started Mega Man 9

Overall, I bought 19 games. Been so damn busy I've only played seven of them so far.

What did you guys buy in 2008?

Yes, I have a very bad habit.

For example -- Christmas Eve I bought three Wii games (Sonic Riders new, Battle of Bands used and Wing Island (used).

This week, I have picked up Tales for Wii used and KH:CM for PS2 used.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
