Another year has come and gone bringing with it a pile of quality titles. Instead of throwing the three staffers here at X3F into a room without food or water until we agreed on one absolute game of the year winner, we've opted to pick our own individual favorites. What stood out to the staff of X3F? Here are our picks for best (and even some of the worst) of 2008.

No disrespect to Dustin or Richard... but Xav gets HUGE respect for at least mentioning Burnout Paradise. It was BY FAR the best game of the 1st quarter this year, and a genuine top contender for "Most Fun You Can Have Online" this year. I don't care who you are... getting 8 people together and trying to beat some of those challenges was simply a blast.
Aside from that, even BEFORE all of the updates, the game had tons of things to do. Factor in all of the added (FREE) content, and it might just be the best value of the year. Honestly, there's no reason whatsoever that it didn't sell more copies.
In my book, Burnout Paradise was one of the top 3 games of the year, hands down. But hey, what the hell do I know? I'm just a guy that likes to play fun games with his friends.
