2008... a peak for gaming?

[Lepidopterous]

As we move forward and away from the year 2008, I am starting to realize how big a year it was for both movies and games. Last year and so far this year, we have seen some excellent games released. But how do you feel they compare to 2008 collectively?

In 2008 we saw many gems released, several of which I still play today. I feel like Uncharted 2 was the only real gem of last year though. I posted some of the top games of each year to give an idea of what the years were like in console gaming. Will we ever live up to the wave of landmark games we saw in 2008?
