A Year in Review_ The Top Features and Reporting Of 2008
January 01, 0001 | By **A. Sinclair**
It’s been a pretty amazing year for the game’s industry. We’ve seen record sales, major layoffs, the disbarment of Jack Thompson and not a few smaller stories to mull over as well. https://kotaku.com/nintendo-sells-a-staggering-industry-saving-2-04-milli-5107908(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); I combed through the year’s worth of features and original stories that ran on our site this year to find the most read among them. That isn’t to say these are our best efforts, but they’re certainly our most popular. They also offer interesting insight into what you, the readers, find most interesting.
The top ten features of 2008 includes an ecclectic mix of topics which touch on everything from the sorts of desks developers keep, to dissecting and disproving the Madden curse, to a highbrow discussion of objectivism in BioShock with Ken Levine and the president of the Ayn Rand Institute.

I wish there were more free spins available, but even with the current promotions, I have a lot of fun. The themed slot games are creative and engaging, keeping the gameplay fresh and entertaining every day.

I won a small jackpot yesterday and it was really exciting! The thrill of winning real money keeps me coming back. The website feels fair, and payouts are processed promptly, which makes me trust the platform even more.
