NCAA Football 2009
The best damn college football game to ever be created, and they remembered to put the mascot mode back in where you can play as all of the mascots in the NCAA! The BCS scoring system as flawed as it is in real life—so don’t get your heads up if you favor small time teams. The create-a-player feature has been enhanced, and scouting has never been easier.

Madden NFL Football 2009
You can’t get a better NFL football game than this, much to the dismay of 2K naysayers around the world! The graphics are superb and even better if you have a high definition TV. The sounds are great. The sports commentary needs work but kills the radio-style crap from the last version. Gang tackles, more intelligent players and AI, and some enhanced playbooks are win-win.

Nope. That is why you will never really see any other good sports game – because EA makes all of the good ones and shuts down the competition.

So many games, so little time to burn out your thumbs and acquire a case of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) playing them. But if you are like me, and your wrists are more worn out than a ninety year old carpenter, then you already know that there are ample amounts of great games that were released for the Xbox 360 during 2008. Of course, it would be far too lengthy for me to ever truly list them and yap about all of them for you in this blog. So I have been forced to boil it down to what I believe are the top three Xbox 360 games of 2008.

Top Three Xbox 360 Games of 2008
Grand Theft Auto IV: This game truly takes the wholly cake and the icing too for the best damn game ever to be created. You play a cunning and illegal Russian immigrant who must forge his way through the unforgiving alleyways of New York City, dubbed Liberty City for this game. You can pretty much do everything.
