360Sync’s Games Of The Year – Part 1

By | December 31, 2008 | Xbox 360 |

Well, it’s been a fantastic year for gamers all over the world, but particularly, for us Xbox 360 gamers.  This holiday season, we’ve had so many games that many gamers have not even played everything that smashed into stores this holiday season.  We’re doing this in 3 parts, and the other two will be going up tomorrow, so consider this a sneak peek.  Some of our categories showed overall wins while others with other being pretty diverse or even deadlocked.  So without further adieu, here are the first 4 categories and what each of us chose as our winner!

Best Platformer
Devin – Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Rob – Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Shane – Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Dario – Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

Best Shooter
Devin – Dead Space
Rob – Gears of War 2
Shane – Gears of War 2
Dario – Gears of War 2

Best XBLA Game
Devin – Geometry Wars 2
Rob – A Kingdom for Keflings
Shane – Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix
Dario – Castle Crashers

Best RPG
Devin – Fallout 3
Rob – Fable 2
Shane – Fallout 3
Dario – Fable 2

So there you have it! Our first set of choices for our Games of the Year.  Check us out tomorrow for other categories, including Best Overall, Best Developer, and even our Biggest Disappointment!  We’ve got some more fun things coming very soon so you should definitely keep your eyes peeled!

Our next two parts have also be posted, so be sure to check them our!

[Side note: Yes, we know that Sam's choices aren't in here, but we'll update this as soon as we get his as well.]

    I think its funny that none of you had the same xbox arcade title chosen…. Also, where is the love for Braid?

      I think only one or two of us even own the game…

        Really? I think that and Castle Crashers are the two best arcade games this year… The only other one I can think of is SF2 HD

      I'm with wackysplash, where's the Braid love? It was absolutely fantastic.

    I like the Dead Space pick for best shooter, I loved that game. Can't wait to se some although I agree with wackysplash, Braid is a great arcade game.

    I like the Dead Space pick for best shooter, I loved that game. Can't wait to se some more picks although I agree with wackysplash, Braid is a great arcade game.

    Shane didn't choose L4D for best shooter!? Madness!!

      sneak peak: l4d still makes its appearance, don't you worry.

    Wow a lot of surprising picks

    Looking good so far :) . No Braid in Best XBLA? O.O

    Got to agree with Best Platformer, as well as Best Shooter. My favourite Xbox Live Arcade title was Braid though Castle Crashers and Geo Wars 2 wouldn't be far behind. As for RPG, Fable 2 would get my vote.

    Looking forward to the next one guys.

    While I loved Braid, I still had to give the edge to Geo Wars 2, simply for the time invested into the game
