I beat 30 games in 2008 but only three of them actually were released in 2008. These were Fallout 3, Mass Effect and Crysis Warhead. I can say hands down that Mass Effect is not only my Game of the Year but my new favorite game of all time as well. Fallout 3 was extremely good and Warhead was also great but Mass Effect took the cake for me. from the epic story to the dialogue options and choices I loved it more than any game I had played before it. I do have to give Fallout 3 serious props as it has made my 10 favorite games of all time list. Hopefully I will be able to play more in 2009.
