I've played most of them, but not completed them. Some of them I avoid, like GTA IV in particular! How terrible of me, I know. Like you, I have a whole stack of games I've yet to get through.

Best/Favourite Game – Gears of War 2
Wasn't too fussed about the first Gears, but got sucked into the hype of Gears 2 and the single player certainly didnt disappoint. Some fantastic movie type moments that really did send shivers down my spine.

Multiplayer was a major letdown at first – 15 minutes to get into a game and then too many screaming kids. Hoping that as they're fixing the issues will get more people on my friends list playing.

Runner Up – COD 4

Rented this one recently – some great single player moments (All Ghillied Up – laying low as patrol almost walks over you), and some movie magic – nuclear explosion early on. Multiplayer is a bit too hectic for me, but giving it some more time before I make a definitive decision.

2. Worst/Biggest Letdown – Assasins Creed

Completely agree with Assassins Creed – so boring I didnt finish it.

Mass Effect – could never really get into it, dont know why.

Runner up – Mass Effect – could never really get into it, dont know why.

3. Surprising/Hidden Gem – Madden 09

Really enjoyed this, never played the others in the franchise, but this hit the spot.

Runner Up – Blazing Angels 2 – another renter which kept me busy for a good few weeks. May pick it up again at some point.

Honourable Mention – NXE – Well Done Microsoft – ditto, love NXE. All I need now is a hard drive to install GOW2 onto!

4. Best XBL Moment

FInally getting a game on GOW2!

5. Will 2009 Better 2008? – Yes – bloody hope so!

6. Special Note

Avatar really was as bad as people said it was!!

My Top 8 Games (that I bought, not necessarily released) this Year Are:

8: Blazing Angels

7: GUitar Hero 3

6: Lost

5: COD3

4: Madden 09

3: COD4

2: Halo 3

1: Gears of War 2

Phil,

I heard about the problems with multiplayer at the mo, there is always something wrong isn't there?

They are meant to be working on a patch though so hopefully it won't be too long….

Picked my copy up for £34 quid today so hope to get on soon….

But, like you, we had a bad feeling about it. After having a quick blast on one of the pods in HMV I decided not to buy it. The controls felt clunky and I wasn't too hot on the button pressing sequences. The graphics looked really good, though.
