actually, Oblivion and TOS seem to be both benefiting slightly. if this were 300 votes closer it would be a lot more exciting but instead it's just stagnating.

I've gotta say GoW is the favorite here. Tales fans might do something fishy if its close, but it needs to get closer then this for that to matter.

I can't get over how much these 4 games suck.

lol fourpack of crap

In other news, tomorrow should have a good second place match between Halo and MGS3.

I woulda given it to Halo 2 easily of Halo didn't job, although that was likely SFF with KotOR.

I'll give the edge to TOS right now just because I trust that rabid fanbase to do Weird Things if necessary.

I was just going to post this. I said last night that if this was close at the end we could see some shenanigans from Tales, given how much this board is obsessed with that game.

I'm quite surprised that GoW isn't dominating the ASV. Given that Tales will probably do better than it at night, I think this match is surprisingly very much in the air right now. Too close to call at this point.

Yeah, GoW isn't distancing itself when it's most capable to if it followed Kratos's trends. ToS is doing well.

Come on GoW, I don't want zero points!

Is there even an ASV today?
Are schools open today in the US? Or aren't schools off for labor day in the US?


Also, with what we've seen so far this contest, I don't think it's completely out of the question that Okami moves on tomorrow
Sure, I wouldn't bet on it, but it is the only game that got a Nintendo release.
Halo 1 has failed to impress, and I doubt Halo 2 will do any better.
WoW can be anywhere strength-wise. Pre-rally, I wouldn't be surprised if it was weaker than Okami. How many votes will be rallied is still uncertain.

Eh, a man can dream, right... At least it's got my vote.

Damn this is another close match.

Apparently God of War didnt dominate the ASV as we thought.

Now about the night vote, who would be strong in that timeframe?

Yeah, Wander isn't even named in the game outside of the credits IIRC. I'd expect the game to be stronger by a good bit. As in like 11-13% instead of the single digits Wander gets.

Their opponents would still have to be pretty weak for the overestimation to mean anything.
