Honestly, first part titles should ALWAYS be better than third party titles because they can make use of all the specific hardware components and have an experience that is tailored directly for that system. Move Support, 3D, Kinnect, custom music, screen shot and video capturing...not to mention the performance of the games themselves.
I miss you Gameday. LONG LIVE THE SHOW!
You're right, they did have something going with the Gameday 04. To bad we will never know how it would have moved forward.
