    A Best Of 2008 List Devoid Of GTA IV, Gears And Metal Gear

    We're bound to be choking on "Best Of" lists by the end of the week, packed with big-budget, AAA-caliber games. But what about the little guys, the Multiwinias and Newtonicas?

    Offworld offers up an alternate list of 2008's best and brightest, titles that are either "indie," overlooked or both. That includes games like No More Heroes, the ArtStyle WiiWare release Rotohex and the iPhone release Crosswords. Hey, there's even an N-Gage game on the list!

    The good news is that this year's indie and supposedly overlooked titles are very familiar to, at the very least, me. Games like Castle Crashers, Braid and PixelJunk Eden may not have sold as well as the year's multi-platinum blockbusters, but they certainly got plenty of coverage here.
