sub-zero is typically a little bit stronger then tidus the last couple years, and FFX is pretty bad at day while Subby does well at it

not 100% confident but seems like a pretty good chance Subby wins it.

I'll take Sub's performance on Auron over anything Tidus has ever done.

It looks like B:AA would beat Uncharted 2 now based on DA:O, barely.

I wanted to point out that poll, because it should have a high level of regional variance. It's the poll for what term you use for the carbonated drinks (soda, pop, coke, etc).

Halo 2 was released 11/9/04:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1876 (1/10/05)
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1877 (1/11/05)

Modern Warfare 2 was released 11/10/09:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3684 (12/1/09)
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3726 (1/12/10)
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3727 (1/13/10)

Would you take Batman: Anonymous Alimony or Uncharted 2 over Modern Warfare 2 one-on-one? Halo 2 showed when it hit the GotY-polls that it had a hard time keeping up with fewer options between the tougher competition, and we're seeing something similar here. Think we could see an upset one-on-one?

MW2 would smoke Uncharted 2 and Batman: Anal Amore with ease 1v1, much like how Brawl wouldn't have much trouble with MGS4 in a rematch.

Neat addition, though of course its use is limited. Real-time geolocation is awesome, though, and I really think we should track the trends of the continents and maybe the countries (states would be too excessive).

I don't know if it'd be too much work and waste of space/bandwidth for creativename to do this for each contest poll. That data would be handy, and I don't think it'd be too hard to add the country modifiers for each poll, but checking 7-20 or so different polls every five minutes could be a huge hassle, and frankly this data probably isn't worth the effort.

But hey, it's something to think about.

He uses review scores for the goty polls, and CC was the highest scoring game of 2000 so thats probably why he put it there.

I hope this reinforces how bad the 2009 GOTY poll was

it's new and exciting and the only shooter and stands out like hell and it's still losing to a game that lost to Tales of Symphonia

(yeah it'll probably pass it but still)

So you'd rather have a FF game that would get sff'd to death, and two other games that are goign to be sff'd to hell and back by all the other Nintendo options?

CC seems to be pretty independent here so I'd take that since it can do pretty well.
