TIME Magazine has just come out with a top 10 list for just about everything for 2008 including video games.  Lev Grossman formulated the game list and had a few interesting terrible selections.

• Grand Theft Auto IV
• Braid
• Little Big Planet
• Rock Band 2
• Gears of War 2
• Dead Space
• Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
• Hunted Forever
• Fieldrunners
• Spore
