2008 was great year.  But it was an amazing year for gaming.  With so many damn games coming out in the tail end of the year I think I spent over 200 dollars on games during the holidays.  Some of them amazing and some not so amazing.  Anyways lets get right to it. These are my games of the year for 2008:

Now that Gears of War 2 is out we can see who is actually king of Xbox 360.  Well, the only reason this caught my attention is I agree with most of arguments put forward by each game.

IGN has put together a head to head between Halo 3 and Gears of War 2.  Normally IGN has a very screwed up way of saying a game is better than an other.  Sometimes they have overrated games way to far (COUGH Resistance 2 COUGH).  Looking at this head to head I would never think they would get it right.  To my dismay I totally agree with most of the points put forward by each game.

It was early morning, 4 am to be exact.  It was black Friday and man do I hate waking up early.  Yes I woke up at 3:30 am on black Friday in 2006 to head on down to Circuit City to pick up my Xbox 360.  The deal they had was buy a 360 get any game of your choice free.  So naturally I picked Gears of War because I remember reading that the press were giving it some high praise.  And boy was that a great decision.

I played Gears of War multiplayer all the way until the launch of Halo 3.  Despite the issues in the multiplayer I still found the gameplay to be totally refreshing and awesome.  And damn did it look good.  My eyes were bulging out of my head when I played through the single player.  Until now I think Gears of War had the best graphics on a console.

Now here we are Gears of War 2 and from the videos we have seen before launch some of the graphics may have looked the same.  This is fine since the first looked so damn good.  However the question is has Epic created a game so epic (no pun intended) that it is better than the first?  The answer is SHIT YEAH!. (O man am I going to get crap for saying that)
