Now that 2008 has come to a close with both team X3F and the X3F community deciding the best games of 2008, we're feeling a little '08 nostalgic for some reason. Maybe we have an attachment disorder or are just in awe of how amazing 2008 was, but whatever the case, we wanted to revisit last year. So, we dug through the official X3F statistical library and uncovered the top fifteen most trafficked stories of 2008. All of which can be viewed in their news glory after the break.
According to the traffic reports, Rock Band, Call of Duty, Gears of War, Xbox hardware revisions and NXE Avatars were all the rage in '08. Interesting stuff. Oh how we miss you already 2008. You were good to all of us, even the bad fanboys. But now, we say goodbye and welcome 2009 into our hearts as we look forward to what gaming news is yet to come.

Drinking again, eh?
I also heard 08 was going to be the year of the PS3 and that didn't happen.
Also, sony would love to have a 3 million selling flop game like gears of war 2. I think it sold more copies in a half day than Little Big Planet has to date.

Who the heck is this guy?
Damn..., I can't be seen with these kinda ppl, please do stay away from xbox.
The day I see this kid on Live is the day I quit gaming. I have nothing to do with these kinda human beings.
