If it's played with a ball (or puck), you had a ball with it in 2008. The indomitable EA Sports once again ruled the roost by delivering solid games in pretty much every sport imaginable, though at least they had some good challengers in 2K Sports (NBA 2K9) and Sony (MLB 08: The Show).

The Nominees Are...
Madden NFL 09

NHL 09
You want commitment? Then you want NHL 09. EA's hockey game was brimming with authenticity. As for the amazing graphics and gameplay, well, that's just icing on the cake.
Shaun White Snowboarding
