#6 of 2009: NBA Live 10
The ranking of games in the best of 2009 list is based primarily on the personal amount of enjoyment had with a particular title. Some other factors include whether advertised features were fully delivered on, post-release support, community interaction and communication, overall gameplay experience, feature set, and online play performance. Again this is a personal take on the games. The analysis is weighted largely towards those which I had the most fun with while considering them as a who...

The Worst Games of 2009
Now that December has arrived and all of the sports titles have been released there will be articles featured throughout the remainder month that look back on the games and big stories of the year.

This time around there is a major franchise included.

#1 of 2008: NCAA Football 09
The NCAA Football series has always filled its role as the first football game of the year effectively holding me over until Madden. I'm more of a fan of the pros than college so there is more attachment to Madden. Once that was released I'd turn my full attention to it even though in many cases NCAA was a better game.

#2 of 2008: NHL 09
