Gaming wise this year I had a great experience with College Hoops 2K8 and so far I am loving MLB 08 The Show. As long as I can remember baseball games have been the most realistic IMO video game wise than any other sport.
In real life I love college basketball, but do not care too much for the NBA which IMO again is not how the game of basketball was meant to be played. Played college ball, so the basketball video games I hold to a higher standard when looking for a realistic game and have not enjoyed a game in a long time. College Hoops 2K8 has given me at least a game to play during the down time between NFL and awaiting another Baseball game.
