Hey, there have been a lot of movies, games, events that hit us in 2008 that was just plain terrible or really awesome.

Seeing that 2008 is soon to end and the beginning of another year draws near,  I taught i would make this thread.

Best Movie I've Seen Entire Year:

The Dark Knight (no contest here) it was simply awesome.

Best Games I've played.

I had some fun with Metal Gear Solid 4 (single player) and Resistance Online. COD4 was great. GTA4 was good too (single player) and Unreal Tournament 3.

Worst Movies
Met the Spartians
Max Payne.....so disappointing.
The Punisher: War Zone. -Expected this to be bad and it lived up to that!

Did they re-release CoD 4 in 08, or did I miss something?

Best movie I've seen entire year:
The Dark Knight

Best games I've played
Grand Theft Auto IV
Resistance 2
Mirror's Edge

Worst Movies
I haven't seen a lot of movies this year, so I don't know

Why didn't you just make two separate threads, one for best/worst game of the year, and one for best/worst movie of the year?

Best of the year.

The fucking elections are over.
Mirror's Edge
I found a guy to run vynil for my mods.
The Dark Knight
Hunger - Directed by Steve McQueen
I've got steady employment again.
The rebirth of EA.


Worst of the year.

The fucking elections are over.
Mumbai bombings put an itch on India's (and consequently, the West's) trigger finger.
Sitting the ACT.
Large Hadron Money-sink... ahem... Collider.
The rise of leapfrog business model.

What are you talking about, Eddie? The Large Hard-on Collider is a scientific breakthrough. I mean, its not like we've had smaller machines doing the same shit for years, and its solving a pressing problem.

Best Games of 08:
Castle Crashers. Seriously, buy it.
Fallout 3

Worst Games of 08:
GTA 4. Controls are garbage, everything moves like it's wading through 3ft of shit.
Gears of War 2. The MP component is almost unplayable due to Epics shitty netcode. Way to go, failures, it was done correctly on a console in 04, even earlier on PC.

Best Movies:
Dark Knight, obviously.
I also thought Zac and Miri Make a Porno was fucking hilarious.

Worst Movie:
Burn After Reading. When even Clooney cant save the movie, it shouldnt have been made.

Haha.
While it did come out in Nov'07. I only got it in Jan '08.

That was my first intention, but why create so many threads...it's one fucking year so 1 thread


Eddie_the_hated...good for you and that "stable job" My contract has not been renewed in 9 moths...fucking bastards. Well if things keep us as is...next year will be a very short year

Best Movies: Iron Man/The Dark Knight

Best Games: Left 4 Dead/GTAIV

Worst Movies: Hancock/Max Payne

Worst Games:  Fracture/Far Cry 2 (just rented this one out - it really sucks tbh!)


Still looking forward to the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still.

I'll only remember 2008 for The Dark Knight. 

That was my first intention, but why create so many threads...it's one fucking year so 1 thread

Sigh. Shadow, this is why we can't have nice things.

Wait...what? You didn't like Iron Man?  I take it that you never read the comic or watched the cartoons.  Downey Jr. is flesh incarnated from ink.  He nailed it.  

Nitro, why are you now _Majik_ with fewer posts?  I demand an explanation!!

Hmm looking back at all the posts, I didn't remember i saw so much movies and played so many games.

Good:
Hulk (2008) was much better than I expected and far better than the previous movie. So while I don't care much of Hulk, it was above average.

And Yes Quantum of Solace: Daniel Craig went all out with the stunts.
This movie was not as good as Casino Royale but very good none the less.
Good movie.

Soul Caliber 4- While I only borrowed this. It was the best Vs game i've played whole year. Tekken 5 meh...

Disappointing Stuff
John Rambo "the boatman" while bloody and gory, it just did not live up to all the other Rambo movies.

Indiana Jones KOTCS was a huge let down.

When I read the Resistance 2 Co-Op was removed, it lost a star in my books, haven't played it yet but that's a disappointment.

Edit: Soul Caliber IV.
No you cannot use my time machine, borrow H.G. Wells own or Bill and Tedd's...i've heard they had an excellent adventure

Soul Caliber 5 - While I only borrowed this. It was the best Vs game i've played whole year. Tekken 5 meh...

I can has ride in your time machine?
