This isn't really about best games of that year, but how they stand out.

If crysis isn't a landmark I don't really know what is. It is the swan song of pc gaming, as in the era they developped popular titles for the pc first. Games like doom, quake and halflife.

It was an amazing swan song in that regard though, since it couldn't run on the x360 and ps3, which were built to compete with pc gaming. It also couldn't run on most pc's, well not very good anyway.

Bioshock is in there mainly for the art direction.

Halo is in there btw , just not halo 3.

There was nothing to fix though. The game was fun and fine the way it was. Now they are reverting and reducing customization options for players that enjoyed the game and actually stuck with it.

I would die a happy man. As someone else mentioned, this met with a lukewarn response. People weren't still over The Sands of Time trilogy so a reboot rubbed them the wrong way. It's a real fucking shame cause PoP 2008 turned into a true gem that stood the test of time.

A few years later Ubi went back and decided to continue PoP with Forgotten Sands that seemed to directly follow after the first Sands of Time game in an alternate universe type of way. That one tanked pretty bad too...
