Which ones? Gears 2, Fallout 3 and Fable 2 were probably the 3 biggest releases of the year 360 wise, and I think every one of them delivered. Are there others I'm missing or didn't you think they were good?

I actually felt out of those three only one delivered (gears 2), fable 2 was just too dumbed down for me and fallout 3 just didn't feel like fallout at all. This year has seen a trend of many games receiving rave reviews only to turn out average at best.

Ninja Gaiden 2 not make your list?

Even though Fable 2 is dumb down, which it is, i have never played such an easy RPG. It is quite enjoyable.

My favourite game this year has been PGR4 though, that has clocked up the most hours i think.

Really? I'll always remember 2008 as the year big names promised and big names delivered!

Fallout 3, Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Battlefield: Bad Company, Fifa 09, Mortal Kombat, Rock Band. Arguably the only game that massively let me down was Burnout Paradise.

Well I can only go by the ones I played. Gears 2 was a huge let down. What I find funny is people calling it as a GOTY. Atleast one of the levels was utter ****. Inside the worm. It was bugged to hell even in co-op. Carmine runs off like a gimp in stages you split up and gets himself killed miles from the team.

We had countless bugs.

The online is broken. I have huge fun playing this on my own with bots because that's the only way I can get games.

And no GOTY should ever have an end boss like the lambent primark. Worst ending ever.

PES last year was great to play in local co-op but got battered because the MP was shagged. Gears should get the same pounding, yet they have the cheek to release new maps?

I think review sites should re-review (is that a word) all these games a month after release to show up how **** some people release online.

Breathe

COD WaW, enjoyable SP, frankly woefull MP. Even laggier that 4.

Guitar hero world tour, Crap guitar, crap charting, crap for DLC. Should have been a rival for RB. It's not even a rival for GH3.

The Force Unleashed. No one's a bigger SW fan boy than me. I'd like to force crush the throats of everyone involved in this pap. Anticipated for years. It's not even as good as a 6 odd year old Jedi Academy.

The others mentioned Fable and Fallout I haven't played, not a huge fan of RPG's. I have to be really bored to play one and it has to have a lot of combat. If I want to go for a walk somewhere it's to the cake shop not across a virtual world.

On topic again for a moment

I am enjoying PoP but it is easy... lazily so - there just doesn't seem to be any attempt to vary the various boss fights, just repeat until done. Plot's not really fleshed out either.

It's worth what I've paid for it though, just working my way around figuring out how to get the various light wotsits is quite good. Could do with some more puzzles though.
