This article would be compltely relavent if it weren't that 6 of those 7 games have lots of DLC. I think a better name for the article would be "Games that keep charging you for extra playing time."

Fallout 3? Check
WaW? Check
L4D? Check
GTA IV? Check.

Yeah, i'm still playing a few of these quite a lot too. I still keep going back to Modern Warfare and Uncharted from '07 too.

But mostly, I play FIFA 09 most.(Oct 08?)
Pretty addicted.

this article pretty much sumed up what i've been playing pretty much all year. Especially RB2. I cant believe that games music library. 1 thing i would say is missing, hands down, Street Fighter IV.

Call of duty WaW is better

why was lbp not mentioned? the replayability thanks to the community aspect is phenomenal! and burnout paradise? ive played that every day since i got it. about a month ago. i see.

cant wait for uncharted 2. no.1 was awesome and i got the platinum trophy the 2nd can only be better but i dont play the 1st any more because of no multiplayer. i reckon co-op will extend the life of the campaign a lot, i would still be playing co-op and multiplayer now if the 1st had it. i reckon ill spend a bit of time on multiplayer, but the campaign is the main part of the game and co-op will be great fun.

Love me some world war II action, and I love how people are saying games from 2009 should be on here.

I can attest to Fallout 3. Even though I haven't gotten a chance to play any of the DLC (waiting for it to hit PS3...), I'm still finding plenty of things to occupy myself with in the Capital Wasteland.

how is COD:WAW up there and the only thing good about it is nazi zombies and the campaign the multiplayer is a joke gears 2 and left for dead should have gotten higher than it it was worth playing online

Wow. FOUR of those titles are just overhyped trash. Fallout 3, Gears 2, Left 4 Dead, and COD5. Sure, they games DO supply entertainment but never match the hype and only supply maybe a few hours of entertainment before you realize your bored. And yes, that includes Fallout 3.

I really play the hell out of Fallout 3 and L4D. The planning is useless on L4D because either way your zombie food. Fallout3 is the best because you can always can start a new life.

GOD DAMN IT!!!!! I'm only findin out about loads of dlc now cus my 360 has the rod :'(

I'd still be playing Fallout 3 if my 360 hadn't red-ringed. :(

Fallout should be #2 next to Halo 3 at #1.
With all the map packs they should eaasily be in the top 5. Skate 2 should also be in the top

I agree with Rockband 2 and thats about it. Theres only so many Nazi zombies you can kill before you feel like turning the gun on yourself.

I've listened to Talk Radar. A lot. So I know what I'm saying when I say, "You forgot World of Warcraft." Seriously, it's been out for over five years. I know it may be cliche to add it to a list like... oh wait, haha, this is from 2008. Scratch the above
Dill  - 4 months 2 days ago 
In fact... you know what, you shouldn't have done this at all with only 7 entries allowed! Actually, wait, nevermind. That would just be telling us the good games from 2008. Scratch above

You know what? I really like this Top 7. Grats Brett
