For this edition we asked our members what their most memorable gaming moment of 2008 was. It was a great year for gaming and the year provided a ton of great moments, what were the best though?

World Container:
1. Gaming for the Sarcastic Gamer Extra Life 24-hour marathon. That was a blast. Twenty-four straight hours of Xbox 360 gaming goodness. And all for a fantastic cause. I only hope they do the same sometime in 2009! Link: http://extralife.sarcasticgamer.com/

2. Stepping out of the vault for the very first time in Fallout 3. Rare has it been that there is a gaming moment such as this.

3. This may sound odd, but witnessing my daughter finish her first video game, beginning to end. The game? Disney Princesses: Enchanted Journey. I know what you’re thinking, and don’t worry, I already looked in the instruction manual: no Horde mode

Dali:
- Stepping out of the vault was incredible… I concur on that one!
- Beating several “Late to the Party” games that were sitting on my rack, including Gears of War, Halo 2, and a bunch of Gamecube & DS games
- Discovering the power of Rock Band/Guitar Hero WT at events… Everyone plays, and everyone enjoys it.
- My incredible used game score: Orange Box, Mass Effect, and Lost Odyssey for $40.
- My birthday weekend gaming binge: 9 games bought/received as gifts.

Eminutia:

Almost every FMV moment in Final Fantasy VII was the most memorable gaming moment for me.

Thegreatest7884:
Realizing what a great game Far Cry 2 was, even after all my friends said it was horrible, and probably finally getting around to playing bioshock.

Deakkanite:
Stepping out of the Vault definetly was a morable moment indeed

Further my cousin and me have many memorable moments of playing Halo 3 online this year

Damnightmare:
Realizing what a horrible game Far Cry 2 was, even after all my friends said it was great

There was no REAL memorable gaming moment in 2008 for me, this year has been boring to be quite frank.

I guess beating Shadow of the Colossus was memorable, great game I recommend it.

Also I guess replaying Chrono Trigger was memorable, I haven’t played the game in over 10 years so it was great to enjoy it again.

Superbond2:
The endless setlist 2. Some great, and not so great, times right there.

Shuckey:
Just watching the Trailer of Left 4 Dead was such a great moment…it made me want to REALLY buy this game. Playing the game for the first time on Expert with friends playing the Finale for 3 hours until we learned a trick to beat it easy everytime.

Necromancer2K8:
Does fixing my xbox 5 different times to be able to game count as a most memorable gaming moment of ‘08?

Yaniv:
Meeting Rocco, Sean, Derrick and Gerret (Mega64) at PAX

PAX in general

Starting G3

Getting my hands on Mercs2

Fallout3 as a whole

Even just hearing the words ‘Elder Scrolls V’

Diggy Lee:
My most memerable gaming moment of 2008 was finally getting all the dolls for the “Dollcatcher” achievement in Fable 2. I thought I was never going to get it due to the fact that people wanted large amounts gold which I don’t have or legendary weapons that I personally didn’t want to give away. Not to mention the theft of the dolls to so many people being nice and wanting them back. I was lucky enough after jumping in one day overhearing that somebody wanted help with getting achievements. I helped him out and in return he had gifted me all the doll and that one dog trick book from “pub games” for free! I offered to give the dolls back but he told me to keep them because he had rented Fable2 and just wanted the achievements. I just want to thank him for playing the way Lionhead intended it to be and helping me out!

Alter Genesis:
I have one. Healing the first land in Prince of Persia…Breathtaking Moment.

Or when you Eagles Dive for the first time on Assassins Creed
