If SF can just drop another 0.3% my oracle pick will be spot on. Ironically, I finished up my second annual "best game ever" poll on Newgrounds today, and there were more Elder Scrolls games in the top 20 than Final Fantasy games. lol casuals. --- Jon Thomson - CATS, Jay Solano, Ridley, Scorpion, Alien Hominid, Duke Nukem, The Prince, Johnny Rocketfingers, two TBA |

Based on those aforementioned post 202 results, some lol casuals influenced fact or fictions... FACT or FICTION: If rerun today, Vice City wouldn't manage 40% on SSBM. FACT or FICTION: Warcraft 3 would be the single strongest Blizzard game in a games contest, and Diablo 2 would be comfortably weaker than Starcraft. FACT or FICTION: Metal Gear Solid is the strongest MGS game. FACT or FICTION: Halo would beat Half-Life in a series match, but only just. FACT or FICTION: God of War would not be completely disgraced (i.e. fodder) if it showed up in a games contest any time soon. --- Jon Thomson - CATS, Jay Solano, Ridley, Scorpion, Alien Hominid, Duke Nukem, The Prince, Johnny Rocketfingers, two TBA |

"FACT or FICTION: If rerun today, Vice City wouldn't manage 40% on SSBM." FACT "FACT or FICTION: Warcraft 3 would be the single strongest Blizzard game in a games contest, and Diablo 2 would be comfortably weaker than Starcraft." Fiction. Warcraft 3 might be stronger than Diablo 2, but I still think Starcraft and WoW beats it. "FACT or FICTION: Metal Gear Solid is the strongest MGS game." Fiction. MGS3 is. "FACT or FICTION: Halo would beat Half-Life in a series match, but only just." Fact. "FACT or FICTION: God of War would not be completely disgraced (i.e. fodder) if it showed up in a games contest any time soon." errr I guess Fact. --- --- Where am I? |

FACT: If rerun today, Vice City wouldn't manage 40% on SSBM. FICTION/FACT: Warcraft 3 would be the single strongest Blizzard game in a games contest, and Diablo 2 would be comfortably weaker than Starcraft. Starcraft easily beats Warcraft III and Diablo II. FACT: Metal Gear Solid is the strongest MGS game. FACT: Halo would beat Half-Life in a series match, but only just. FACT: God of War would not be completely disgraced (i.e. fodder) if it showed up in a games contest any time soon. It would be right around the fodder line. --- For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to refer to Gordon Freeman versus Tanner as Schrodinger's Match. -Phoenix Flattener |

And I second HM about Pokémon. Not only can it lose votes on name recognition, but only 20 people in the entire world are still with the series these days. I just so happens that 18 of them are on board 8, and one of the remaining two's my brother. Actually, Pokemon games still sell absurdly well. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

FACT or FICTION: If rerun today, Vice City wouldn't manage 40% on SSBM. Fiction. Vice City is old news, but that's quite a jump. It would be close, though. FACT or FICTION: Warcraft 3 would be the single strongest Blizzard game in a games contest, and Diablo 2 would be comfortably weaker than Starcraft. Fiction. The second part is correct but Starcraft and WoW > Warcraft 3. FACT or FICTION: Metal Gear Solid is the strongest MGS game. Fact. FACT or FICTION: Halo would beat Half-Life in a series match, but only just. Fiction. 60% for Halo, at least. FACT or FICTION: God of War would not be completely disgraced (i.e. fodder) if it showed up in a games contest any time soon. Fact. Or at least very close. --- "Let's drop this Xbox statue on Naomi's head! Oof! This thing's big! It'll take over 3 years for it to start selling!" ~ Jaguar, Sega Fantasy VI |

Well, I think Diamond/Pearl could surpass R/B/Y if the online is done in a way that doesn't feel crappy. And by crappy, I mean the way Mario Kart DS' and Tetris DS' online feel. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

If rerun today, Vice City wouldn't manage 40% on SSBM. Fact. There may not be a ton of reasoning behind this, but I just feel as though GTA games are something that slowly lose strength over time. Warcraft 3 would be the single strongest Blizzard game in a games contest, and Diablo 2 would be comfortably weaker than Starcraft. Fiction. StarCraft still takes the cake as the strongest Blizzard entry we'll see in a contest, and Diablo II wouldn't be far behind. Metal Gear Solid is the strongest MGS game. Fact. I have no idea how anyone can say otherwise. Halo would beat Half-Life in a series match, but only just. Fact. God of War would not be completely disgraced (i.e. fodder) if it showed up in a games contest any time soon. God of War would do quite well for itself, I think. Not only has it easily passed the million mark in America recently, but tons of people love it and it did really well in the GotY poll. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

"FACT or FICTION: If rerun today, Vice City wouldn't manage 40% on SSBM." Fact. The voting pool has changed a lot since 2004, and GTA has lost it's luster around here, while SSBM is still going strong. "FACT or FICTION: Warcraft 3 would be the single strongest Blizzard game in a games contest, and Diablo 2 would be comfortably weaker than Starcraft." Fiction for the first, because I doubt that Warcraft 3 could even beat World of Warcraft in a head-to-head poll, let alone Starcraft, and fact for the second, because Starcraft fans are more dedicated than Diablo fans. "FACT or FICTION: Metal Gear Solid is the strongest MGS game." Easily fact. "FACT or FICTION: Halo would beat Half-Life in a series match, but only just." Hmm...I'll say fact, but I'm really starting to doubt Halo's popularity around here. GFNW makes me think otherwise, though. "FACT or FICTION: God of War would not be completely disgraced (i.e. fodder) if it showed up in a games contest any time soon." It depends on who it would face, but I think that there just aren't enough Xbox fans around here for God of War not to get embarassed by even a midcard-type game, so I'll say fiction. --- Series Contest Score: 12/14 Today's Pick: Street Fighter |

Metal Gear Solid > Metal Gear Solid 3 > Metal Gear Solid 2 is how I see the chain going. When MGS4 comes out, it'll either be first or second depending on certain things. So yeah, MGS3 is going to be stronger than MGS2, I imagine, but it's not touching MGS. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |
