I'm surprised no fuss was made about me including a minigame when there was fuss about stand-alone card games. Clear indication that everyone accepts FF10 to be the greatest game ever made.

Is this also where I cajole people to include classics such as Pong, DK64 and Jill of the Jungle to their lists too?

Not everyone. I find the game to be overhyped, bordering on being outright bad. Just lost the energy to get outraged about it a long time ago.

Better numbers here. Need to think about how I want to account for same-series games in the runoff.

I think it would depend on the game, honestly. I could see the Pokemon series being one entry, but I'd think Civilization or something like that could be separate.

That's sort of what I'm doing...

This may be the most complicated runoff system yet...

Pre-Runoff Part 1:


These are series which received multiple nominations spread among different games, with each game receiving a single nomination. The winners will form the first runoff group, for the right to lose to the 1 seed. I expect a lot of passing in this round...

1. Guantlet vs. Gauntlet Dark Legacy
2. Guild Wars vs. Guild Wars 2
3. Heroes of Might and Magic: A Strategic Quest vs. Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia vs. Heroes of Might and Magic IV
4. Metroid vs. Metroid Prime
5. SimCity vs. SimCity 2000 vs. SimCity 3000
6. Star Wars: TIE Fighter vs. Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance
7. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 vs. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4
8. Unreal Tournament 2004 vs. Unreal Tournament 3

You'll have to take it up with the guys who nominated different games from their respective series. :)

question: By "Sim City" do you mean the ORIGINAL or or the newest one that's on Origin?
