He probably didn't view it as a sequel in the traditional sense. This poll would be much longer if he was including every big name sequel releasing this year, or early next year, so he probably went with some of the newer, more obvious ones.

Also, shame Mario Galaxy 2 isn't doing better. Mario games never get any hype, but losing to Pokemon when it's a couple weeks away is rough.

Ah well, still the best game in this poll!

HaRRicH | Posted 5/8/2010 10:29:00 AM | message detail
Fair enough. That said, the poll really just needed to be the most hyped game in general instead of separating sequels, spin-offs, original titles, and whatever else.

Also, I just realized Portal 2 was snubbed. Terrible. It would have been a big contender in this poll.

You're pretty good, Dr_Football.
ZFS | Posted 5/8/2010 10:32:00 AM | message detail
He'll probably run one of those before long, maybe right after E3 next month. Most of these games aren't coming out for a long while, anyway!

Of course, Zelda will be announced by then so it won't be very useful to figure out what game is the most 'hyped' out of the smaller, less popular set of games.

i was shocked at how much money a remake of one of those game made

You've been quite awesome this offseason, I'll have you know. Sucks the board totally died, because the NIT deserves votals. Offseason board contests in general have way fewer votals than usual. Even uoty has slacked off a bit of late.


Thanks =D

The votals are acceptable some days. Sometimes they really flop which is discouraging, but if I'm getting 30-40 votes I'm pretty happy. I don't have the star power to attract too much more than that, especially in an off season setting like you said. I plan to make this an annual (or however many contests there are per year) event though, so hopefully in time it'll continue to come along.

UltimaterializerX | Posted 5/8/2010 2:17:25 PM | message detail
I don't think it's star power at all, anyone would have the same vote intake for that particular contest choice. There's just no one here this offseason for some reason.

If you remove the non-series and deflate the NA heavyweights in that list it isn't that bad.
