Best DS game:
TWEWY. If I remember the release date of a game, that means I like it. March 5, 2008. Best handheld RPG ever. Seriously. Just straight up seriously. Runner up is Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.
Best 360 game:
Hehe, I get to cheat here. Mirror's Edge. November 12, 2008. I love racing games, and FPS. Here's a mix of the two. Runner up is Gears of War 2.
Best PS3 game:
I don't play any PS3 games, so...Soul Calibur 4. July 29, 2008. Uh, yeah. Guess why this game's here. Take a wild guess. Runner up is Prince of Persia, because it's also on the 360, and it deserves to be in a category.
Best PC game:
Left 4 Dead. November 11, 2008. Zombies? Yes. Zombies. I approve of the zombies. Runner up: World of Goo.
Best XBLA game:
SSF2THDR. November 26, 2008. It's Street Fighter! Man, I approve. Runner up: Ikaruga.
Best Music game:
Rock Band 2. September 16, 2008. DLC makes it kick the living shit out of Guitar Hero any day. And Harmonix rocks. Runner up: DDR Universe 3. Cause I like DDR and this is my list.

Best DS/PSP:
Didnt play any handheld games this year. Although my brother got hooked on Patapon pretty hardcore, i think that came out earlier?
Best 360:
L4D, hands down. I play games for the MP experience and, so far, Valve hasnt let me down. Complaints about the lack of content are invalid, IMO cause of its incredible replay value, and, as is becoming more common in this age of gaming, Valve promises to expand the game further on down the line.
Honorable Mention: GoW2. Fable 2 was a piece of shit. GoWs saving grace was its SP story was actually very good, IMO.
Best PS3:
MGS4. heh, I just got a PS3 and I got both LBP and MGS4. Just started playing MGS4 so I kinda just threw this in there just because. :-p havent played it enough yet to really say yea or nay.
Best DLC:
SSFHD. IMO, this year has been a fucking fantastic year for fighters. I remember a few years ago, when SC3 dropped, people were talking about the death of the genre. Now, I cant think of a time when there was a better selection of fun, well balanced shit to play that came out recently, or will be coming out shortly. SSFHD, while not with out some faults in its menu scheme and bugs, is awesome.

Patapon = amazing. But really nothing can hold a candle to TWEWY.
