Best 2008 video games

1. GTA IV
2. Fallout 3
3. Call of Duty 4 (OH YEAH, THE FOURTH ONE, FUCK WORLD AT WAR!)

and the future is great
(actually a post-apocalyptic future is not so great, but you know what i meant!)

The waiting has been long (10 years), but the Fallout franchise is finally back. (Brotherhood of Steels and all the spin off games doesn’t count) And even though it is not the turn based / isometric view game that we all loved back in the late 90s, Bethesda delivers one hell of a game.

Definitely GOTY contenter.
