IGN.com has recently released their “Best of 2008″ for all things encompassing the nerd kingdom and yes I say that with love cus I’m a part of that nerdiness. The best of 08 includes movies, comics, gear, music and of course video games!

Okay okay, technically these trailers premiered a few days ago during the Spike Video Games Award, but I didn’t get a chance to catch that, but I did go online and find the trailers for some of the dopest games that are going to drop in 2009. So below are the trailers for some of the most anticipated games for oooooh-nine.

God Of War 3

I played the third installment on the PSP and was hooked and couldn’t put it down, I’m excited to see this on the PS3 and can’t wait to cop this.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Another favorite of mine in the past year for me and it was a bit of a surprise game. I really didn’t expect much, but the story line and sick game play made the first one a favorite of mine and now with the sequel coming out soon, the wait will almost be over.

Fight Night Round 4

It’s been a minute since I’ve played a Fight Night game by EA Sports, but this trailer looks pretty badass, especially putting Muhammad Ali up against Mike Tyson. If that doesn’t catch fight fans attention I don’t know what will.

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and The Damned

The first two games above are PS3 exclusives and well here’s an xbox 360 exclusive that PS3 owners aren’t going to see, for now anyways. This is basically an expansion pack for Grand Theft Auto IV and it looks pretty damn cool.

Had it not been for the above video, I would’ve been oblivious to Xbox 360’s Lips.  The recently released karaoke party game comes preset with 40 songs with original music videos from Beyonce to Nirvana.  So no unlocking of songs is required.  One feature I like a lot is the ability to plug in your iPod or Zune and sing along to your playlist in the freestyle mode.  Included with the game are two motion-sensing microphones.  This is where the fun begins.  Depending on how you move the mic, it can take on the role of various instruments.  This of course enables your centerstage shy friends to join in on the fun.  Overall, this should be a hot product for holiday 2008.
