  FredGoon's 2008 Awards and Final Farewell

  Well as everybody else (IGN, Gamespot, Gametrailers and Nintendo Offical Magazine) have done or are in the process of doing there game awards I'd thought I'd do mine now instead of waiting for the end of December, wellhere it goes.

  Most enjoyed family game of 2008

  Nominee's

  1. Wii Sports
  2. Wii Fit
  3. Mario Kart Wii
  4. 42 All-Time ****cs
  5. The Darkness? (Couldnt think of anything else )

  And the winner is Mario Kart Wii!

  Mario Kart of any kind is the only game my dad, mum, sister and me all enjoy playing toegther and this time it was no diffrent.We spent hours and hours and hours and tens of more hours playing it toegther. Its slowed down abit now but hopefully it willcome back!

  Most Anicipated game of 2008

  Nominee's

  1. Secret Agent Clank
  2. Little Big Planet
  3. Mirrors Edge
  4. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patroits
  5. Mario Kart Wii

  The winner is Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patroits!

  Well I dont think that is a suprise to anybody and I had to actully think hard about other games i got exited about. But yes I have been really looking forward to MGS4 this year, and last year......and the year before that lolz. And it happily develived and is one of my favorite games ever.

  Most played game of 2008

  Nominee's

  1. Metal Gear Online
  2. Mario Kart Wii
  3. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
  4. Rathet and Clank: toolsof Destruction
  5. flOW....

  The winner is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion!

  Some may think of this as unfair as I dont have that game I have Game of the year edition but I wont count my time in Shivring Isle (Which was about 9 hours ish) But that still dosnt even phase my time spent on it above all others. Infact even if you halfed it again and again it wouldnt even come close to losing this award. I must have spent over all of my profiles 350 Hours + on this game, and still growing by the day. In second was MGO which only had about 60 ish, so yea Oblivion wins!

  Best buy of 2008

  Nominee's

  1. Conkers Bad Fur Day
  2. Mario Kart Wii
  3. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patroits
  4. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
  5. DS Lite

  Now this is a tough one, I actully sat and tried to think what I felt as I played it for the first time and what was going through my head, also wieghing in cost and how much i wanted it. To win it isn't how much i enjoyed the game all the way through to the end or how much of a good game it is, but meerly how I felt as I finnaly popped it in for the 1st time and played it for the 1st time. The winner my friends is........................... Conkers Bad Fur Day!

  Surprised? Well I thought I would be, but I am not,I mean how does this game compete with a game I have waited for since 2005 (MGS4) or a game which I got addicted to? (Oblivion) Well I can't explain the feeling that went through me as It came in the post, I had been waiting for this game since before I started my N64 Mission, even if i want on the mission to get every single one I would still have got it. I was just so happy, when i first played it I couldnt stop smiling, it was just such a experaince, so hurrah for Conker!

  Worst buy of 2008

  Nominee's

  1. God of War
  2. Limted Edition Zelda Game Boy SP
  3. Turok (PS3)
  4. Secret Agent Clank
  5. MySims (DS)

  The Winner Is MySims for the DS

  Well most of the games I bought in 2008 I enjoyed, the only other 2 games I can think of adding to that list is Timeshift and Elecktro Plankton since i dont count N64 games since even though some of them are bad I was still happy to buy them because of my mission. SecretAgent Clank was on there not because of the game itself, its because of the PSp and that I hate it and I never play it cos its much to hard to control. But yea MySims DS is just utter rubbish! Truth be told i haven't given it that much of a chance, but comon wheres all that fancy building stuff! No all you do is that stupid social minigames, just utter rubbish.

  Console of 2008

  Nominee's

  1. DS Lite
  2. N64
  3. Nintendo Wii
  4. PS3
  5. PSP...

  It was a close call between the N64 and PS3 but the Winner is the Playstaion 3!

  Well this has been my 1st year with the console, and I originally onky got it for MGS4 and RAC but I got into many new games such as Oblivion, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Heveanly Sword and The Darkness just to name a few. It truely has been a good year for the PS3, and this xmas my only game presants wil be PS3 games so its gonna get better. Now what we have all been waiting for...

  GAME OF 2008!

  Nominee's

  1. Mario Kart Wii
  2. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patroits
  3. Conkers Bad Fur Day
  4. Metal Gear Online
  5. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

  Now this was a tough one, just to make it easier for heres this. In 5th Place came Metal Gear Online, in 4th Place came Conkers Bad Fur Day, in3rd place came Mario Kart Wii. And now, in 2nd place for Game of 2008 is...........Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patroits! Making The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion FredGoon's Game of 2008

  This was just a tough tough TOUGH choice to make, I mean in a way I know that I like MGS4 more, and next year if nothing more comes out it will be my Game of 2009 but thats not what a game of the year is. I belive a game of a year should be a game which you spend most time playing, get addicted to in some point in the year and just love it to bits. Now Oblivion ticks all those box's, if you dont understand let me go further.

  Now Oblivion is not a better game than MGS4, if I was to chose what game should be destroyed or not it will be Oblivion gets destroyed and MGS4 dosnt. But thats because I love each game diffrently ina diffrent way. Eventully I will Get bored of Oblivion, and put it aside for mabey a couple of months or never again, but with MGS4 I will never get bored of it, Never! I mean just look at MGS1, i still play that regulaly and I enjoy that more than Oblivion. But for 2008 I enjoyed Oblivion alot more, more than I enjoyed MGS4. This boils down to the fact that I wasn't expecting what Oblivion trew at me, it was a tottaly random buy, while I was fully prepared for MGS4, and watched a couple of leaked cutscnes before MGS4's release. So thats why MGS4 is my Game of 2008!

  Goals of 2008

  • Obtain a Nintendo Wii
  • Obtain an iPod
  • Have a more Nintendo Orianted Year
  • Obtain a new phone
  • Pass my childcare course

  I'm leaving Gamespot, but this time I'm doing it propperly

  I am here to say that well,I will be leaving Gamespot on the 31st of December 2008 after I post up my 2008 awards. Quite frankly if it wasn't for those, I would leave right now.

  Well my reasons for leaving Gamespot are not what you think, it isnt because I dont like gamespot or I am moving to another site because I think its better. The reason is quite simply I have lost intrest in internet gaming communitys sites such as Gamespot and Giant Bomb. You see I used to post blogs like every day, but now I seem to just not care anymore. Also at times I have found myself enjoy talking about the games more than actully playing the games themselves, which to me just seems wrong so thats one reason.

  The Second reason is I find myself less intrested in "games" now, which is somthing i would never hear myself say. The big fault behind this is MGS4, and suprising enough it all started with MGS2. You see before Gamespot I knew nothing about the gaming world, all i knew was that they were fun and you could by them in games shops. Heck after xmas 2000 I belive I went into a game shop and asked is MGS2 out yet! I actully didnt care about any of these release dates of things or anything about the developers or these internet forums or anything, I just enjoyed playing games.

  When MGS3 was released I hungered for more, before this the onkly series of games I had been into were Spyro and Crash, and I didnt really care when the next one was out I just got it when it did. I didnt care when the next game of a series was out It just didnt phase me if a game I liked got a 1 year delay, not that i would know anyway. But after MGS2's cliffhangerish ending I really wanted to know when the next one would be out, so I typed in MGS2, the site that came up was Gamespot.

  As soon as I came on I was amazed by all peoples comments on the games and the reviews it got (Heck I didnt even know games got reviews!) I didnt join starting away, i just looked through the rumuors of a MGS4. It was that which got me to join. I then began posting blogs and soon they grew bigger and bigger and bigger untill eventully I was writing my own reviews, making vidoes, joining unions and becoming leaders of the unions! Life was diffrent from then on then, I was obsessed with the gaming media side of things, Infact when a new game came to my possession I would write a blog to say I got it first then readall about it then play it. Then MGS4 arrived, my reason for being on gamespot, which droove alot of my blogs.

  After it my blogs started to deteriorate and become less and less, my videos stopped as did my reviews and activity in unions, now I find Gamespot a chore to go on, which is a clear sign of quitting. I also since joining college enjoying more things like going out, hanging with friends, Myspace and reading. I still enjoy games, I still get up at 5:00 to play games for hours and have gaming marathons, but back then that was all i really liked doing, now I have so much more.

  As I said I wont leave until my awards, so look forward to then, if you wish to stay in contact I'll put my Myspace page up later, also Hizang is my PSN account.

  Well Seya Real Soon! (Triva note, Seya Real Soon has appeared in more than 150 of my blogs)
