Yes. But this time it's at least somewhat deserved.

Congratulations to the EA Sports team that worked on FIFA, their hard work has reaped dividends and I'm happy for them.

FIFA 09...get to see Ronaldo track back after being tackled...Berbatov run fast...Rio Ferdinand outpace Theo Walcott...FIFA 09, where if you are not Man United, you've obviously pressed the wrong buttons.

Wii games like Carnival Funfair Games were bundled with consoles over Christmas, but it still doesnt' account for the fact that, basically, these games are selling shitloads. I mean, Mario Kart selling more than Gears 2 AND MGS4 as the best selling exlusive? Impressive!

@Fab4: Are you sure? I think Fifa 09 is amazingly good and is the first time I've switched from Pro Evo. There are certain techniques you can use to speed up your player so if you're playing online I think that might be what the other person is using. Also, I like the fact that you can update player stats based on their real life performance. First EA sports title in a long time that deserved its position IMO.

Fifa 09 is the best football game to date, yet it didnt make it into your top 50 games of the year?

Very strange and very wrong decison, should of been in the top 5. I guess football is not your thing! Are you's dancing on ice boys?
