Gamasutra's Best Of 2008: Top 5 Gameplay Mechanics.

Spoiler! --Click here to view--

Gameplay Mechanics:

For these broad purposes, "gameplay mechanic" can refer to an input method, a character action, rules affecting the game world, and so on.

Generally, features were considered only if they were meaningfully implemented in their franchise for the first time, which in most (but not all) cases excluded sequels. They did not need to represent the first time any such feature has been implemented in a game, if they demonstrated particular excellence or importance.

Game dlm alphatical order:
