In Pictures: Forbes.com's 15 Favorite Games Of 2008
The economy is awful. Companies are bankrupt. Stocks are tanking. Savings are dwindling. And employers are laying off in droves.

No, they're not the magic, recession-proof white stallion we've been led to believe, but games are excellent means of escapism. Sit down with one of 2008's best games for 10, 20 or 40 hours and you'll barely remember that your checking account balance isn't as high as it used to be.
