  <body>&lt;p&gt;Picking the 2008 Best Shooter Ever was incredibly difficult. There were quite a few titles aiming for the number one spot, and each one is deserving of recognition. &lt;em&gt;Battlefield: Bad Company&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Crysis Warhead &lt;/em&gt;showed that people would blow up anything just to see what it looked like exploding. Multiplatform games like &lt;em&gt;Call of Duty: World at War&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway&lt;/em&gt; confirmed once again that no matter how much gamers complain about WWII games, they&amp;rsquo;ll still buy them... as long as they&amp;rsquo;re good. &lt;em&gt;Gears of War 2&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Resistance 2&lt;/em&gt; gave their respective console owners an exclusive to brag about, while &lt;em&gt;Far Cry 2&lt;/em&gt; treated players on every system to a new kind of first-person shooter experience. How well developed and fun to play &lt;em&gt;Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2&lt;/em&gt; took us all by surprise, but it still missed the mark when vying for Best Ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all the dust settled and the bodies were counted, only one game was still standing. With a shot heard &amp;lsquo;round the world, our 2008 Best Shooter Ever did everything it could to make sure it was number one with a bullet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
