FanPoll'08: Xbox 360 Game of the Year
We've made it. The end of the line. 2008 is almost gone and these are the best of the best. The list is long and the choice may be hard but one thing we know for sure it has been on helluva year for gaming. Think on it, look over the list and let us know what your vote is for 2008 Game of the Year...
FanPoll'08: Flat-Out Worst Game of the Year
These games hold the dubious honor of being the worst of the worst in 2008. From our time with them we found no enjoyment unless it was when they were ejected from the tray if we were lucky enough to have our consoles red-ring on us as we played them. By no means should you spend money on these ti...
FanPoll'08: Studio of the Year
Quite possibly one of the hardest lists we've compiled, Studio of the Year honors are hard to decide. Many teams were added, removed, added back and scrutinized before we decided on those listed below. In the end the best thing about it is there are far too many studios doing amazing work to not r...
FanPoll'08: Role-Playing
If you went back to the Xbox-era and told our past selves that the role-playing genre on the next Xbox would be as impressive as almost any other genre we'd laugh. Then we'd punch you in the jugular for lying (kidding!). But seriously, 2008 brought with a variety of fantastic role-playing games fr...
FanPoll'08: Action Adventure
After compiling what we thought were the five best action adventure titles of year, we realized how violent they are. Dismember limbs in Ninja Gaiden II, knock insane people senseless in Condemned 2: Bloodshot and bounce around a whimsical world in Prince of Persia. Oh, okay. Well maybe not all of ...
FanPoll'08: Fighting
2008 was the year fighting games exploded back into the spotlight. With multiple quality releases and big news (specifically, Tekken 6 coming to the Xbox 360) this year was a great time for fans of the classic arcade genre. This competition is like a Hadouken ... because it's down-right fierce. No...
FanPoll'08: Strategy and Rhythm Games
These two categories have been mashed into one post due to a serious lack of quality competition. Civilization Revolution did the unthinkable, bought Sid Meier's famous franchise to the console and made it work but EA has strong competition waiting in the wings. On the music front, Rock Band and G...
FanPoll'08: Sports
We like to joke that sports games don't matter (and by 'we' I don't mean me) but anyone looking at sales numbers will tell you sports games mean business. Serious business. You wouldn't think a lot of innovation could come from annual sports video game franchises but 2008 proved that theory wrong....
FanPoll'08: Driving / Racing
Get behind the wheel, slam down the gas and mooove! This genre had quite a few high speed entries in 2008. High speed crashes or strategic positioning? Make your call with these nominees. Here are the nominees for Best Driving / Racing Game of the Year. Read more about these five nominees: Burnout...
FanPoll'08: Shooter
Ah, shooters -- the life blood of the Xbox brand. This year saw the release of top-tier shooters so this list was harder to compile then you would think. Sure, the Xbox 360 has attacked a ton of other genres in recent memory to fatten its portfolio, everyone remembers what started the trend. Shoot...
