Gears of War 2
Gears of War 2 is shaping up to be the visceral experience we had all hoped for. The hype has made it out to be Epic's gift to gaming, and this made us fearful. But after E3 2008, we think the Kool-Aid tastes delicious! Besides, how can you go wrong with Locust meat shields and Brumak mounts?

Winner:
LittleBigPlanet
If we had gotten some time with Resistance 2, we may be singing a different tune. However, it was always going to be difficult to beat out the imaginative wonder that is LittleBigPlanet. The ability to build your own levels, share them with friends, and make your own fun with a treasure trove of useful objects and tools is the kind of game many have been longing for.
