Halo is overrated, yes, but I still say it gets at least 45% on
SSBM. That's really not that bad, considering what's working against it. Probably. I was never talking about Halo/SSBM directly anyways though. I was bringing up the comparisons between Castlevania/Halo and Sonic/SSB. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

That is honestly one of the ugliest match pictures I have ever seen. --- "Never argue with a fool, people may not tell the difference" - Murphy's Law |

That might've been true 3 years ago, but this site has evolved into
a mainly Nintendo mode since Square has yet to put out a good game
since FF8. Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II and Final Fantasy X all would like some recognition. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

I like GTA's picture actually... It looks straight out of the series. Warcraft's... not so much. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

not too many people were willing to put their prediction where there
mouth is, though. i think i had the second or third highest oracle pick
with 66% (and that's after lowering it from 70%). http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/bse/bse10.jpg uh-oh!! GTA has TJF!!!! actually, it's a pretty fair representation of both series. not a bad pic at all. --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

In terms of series, Halo > Starcraft Castlevania > Halo with 55% And I'd expect GTA to get at least 55% on Castlevania. ...yeah, GTA/Starcraft would be ugly, assuming nothing funny goes on. But then again, that's the point, isn't it... --- Commit it to memory. |

I'd imagine CJay was pressed for time when he made that one. It looks awful, but it's passable I guess. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

Hmmm, I thought about the GTA pic being an ensemble GTA
"boxart" style using all of the games, but I didn't think Ceej would
put that much effort into it. Pretty nice though. I know nothing about Warcraft, so I have nothing to say about that match pic. Wasn't Starcraft represented by a Hydralisk or something in one of its match pics? Looks similar. Who is Arthrall BTW, and which one is he? --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

GTA's isn't really all that ugly. It's rather...bland because nothing
stands out but it DOES seem more representative of its series.
Warcraft's...just sucks. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

I don't think either is really bad actually... they're very
representative of their series. Sure the split between Alliance/Horde
in the Warcraft pic is pretty ugly and could have been put together
better, but it's not the worst pic in the world. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Yeah, GTA is nice, but Warcraft takes all the attention away with its ugliness and ruins it. --- Commit it to memory. |

GTA isn't bad on its own, but the ugliness from Warcraft's side seeps
into the other half of the picture and makes the whole thing look like
crap. --- "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle." -Toad in Super Mario Bros. |

Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II and Final Fantasy X all would like some recognition. Yes, recognition of how Square completely abandoned the concept of decent gameplay in favour of repetitive gameplay that is secondary to a second rate story.

Yeah, GTA is unimpressive to me for some reason...maybe it gets its ass
into gear in a second, but I expected it to get at *least* 60%, and
probably nab the doubling. Granted, we don't know how strong Warcraft actually is, but...no, I'm still not impressed. --- Commit it to memory. |

GTA has a board vote? more like a bracket vote. I think Halo did the best during the initial minute, and you won't find anyone saying that Halo is loved by the board. --- xyzzy |

Looks like Super Mario Bros didn't get the 100,000 vote lead, although
it did come really close. One more update and it probably would of had
it. --- Can't think of a good sig. |
