Sims
making the Game of the Decade contest gives me a little bit more faith
in Gamefaqs. This would have been a joke contest if the biggest selling
game of this decade didn't make it. You misspelled Wii Sports >_> --- Calintares made a whole lot of geolocation x-stats Congrats to Dr. Football for winning the Guru. |

From: LeonhartFour | #090 I'm okay with this if this is all it's got. If it can do better the rest of the poll though, I wanna see it get a better match-up. Also, finally called Wii Sports maiming Umineko! --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg E-p-o-n-a |

The original SC's problem is that it was a Dreamcast exclusive. 10 years after the fact, that won't bode so well for it. Well, it did end up getting a port to XBLA. Yeah. Woo. --- All hail Dr_Football, our Guru Champ! www.rpgdl.com - Because everybody loves violent arena battles, right? |

So if I had to guess how this ends up... 1. Gears of War 2 2. Soul Calibur 2 3. The Sims 4. Guitar Hero 2 5. Castlevania: dawn of Sorrow Soul Calibur 2 I imagine has a great board vote cuz of "LINK!!!", and Gears always does bad with the board vote, so I'm pretty sure Gears will overcome SC2. --- AlbionHero http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

From: charmander6000 | #092 I agree it was fun; I own it and played with room-mates for awhile, and I always wondered why people didn't want to give it a shot yet would push the original so much. Still didn't think it would win here though! --- T H E S T A B L E http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |

Anyway...
last vote-in poll, huh. I wonder if Bacon is willing to give us the
bracket late tomorrow or on a weekend. Since it's the exact same format
as the last one, he likely has everything set up and ready to go minus
these last 4/5 spots. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

Umineko
doesn't get the board vote because this isn't contest season, people!
There isn't a rush of voters, even for the vote-ins. Assassin’s Creed (1st place Day 1) – 22.02% God of War II (1st place Day 3) – 21.36% Devil May Cry (2nd place Day 1) – 17.70% The Legend of Dragoon (1st place Day 2) – 14.48% Resident Evil 5 (2nd place Day 3) – 14.11% Star Wars: Battlefront II (2nd place Day 2) – 14.06% Metroid Fusion (3rd place Day 3) – 13.39% Mario Kart DS (3rd place Day 2) – 12.95% Ninja Gaiden (4th place Day 2) – 10.29% Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials & Tribulations (3rd place Day 1) – 9.25% Left 4 Dead 2 (4th place Day 1) – 9.01% Plants vs. Zombies (5th place Day 2) – 8.86% Timesplitters 2 (5th place Day 1) – 8.18% inFamous (4th place Day 3) – 7.61% Tales of the Abyss (5th place Day 3) – 6.78% I don't know if Bacon's going to do 28 games like last time, in which case the top 7 of each poll would make it. So you can add to this list the following if so: Beyond Good and Evil (6th place Day 1) - 6.88% Dark Cloud 2 (7th place Day 1) - 6.21% Jet Grind Radio (6th place Day 2) - 6.88% Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (7th place Day 2) - 6.87% Professor Layton and the Curious Village (6th place Day 3): 6.30% Zone of the Enders 2 (7th place Day 4): 6.10% Otherwise, we may just be getting the top 4 from each poll for 16 games, the 15s and 16s. Those are probably our two best bets. --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about PW/Jecht |

I really hope this means Valkyria Chronicles made it into the bracket on its own accord. Right, SBAllen? Valkyria Chronicles game of the ever, got in? Yes? --- At least Dark Link is more of a character than L-Block...Kinda. ~Zen you mean, he's got LINES? ~voltch |

Umineko makes the vote it and not Valkyrie Profile? Noooo. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

Umineko no Naku Koro ni vs. Company of Heroes ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL3lJfpenAc Two worlds collide Rival nations It's a primitive clash Venting years of frustrations Bravely we hope Against all hope There is so much at stake Seems our freedom's up Against the ropes Does the crowd understand? Is it East versus West Or man against man Can any nation stand alone CHORUS In the burning Heart Just about to burst There's a quest for answers An unquenchable thirst In the darkest night Rising like a spire In the burning heart The unmistakable fire In the burning heart In the warriors code There's no surrender Though his body says stop His spirit cries - never! Deep in our soul A quiet ember Know it's you against you It's the paradox That drives us on It's a battle of wills In the heat of attack It's the passion that kills The victory is yours alone CHORUS (sing chorus 3 times) In the burning heart --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

So are the top 7 games from each poll making it in? Looks like FFX-2, XI and Tactics Advance probably all made it in on their own accord. Both Paper Marios probably made it. All three Primes? Symphonia/Vesperia both made it in probably. Any other assumptions we can make? And why were some of these games not in previous days? It definitely seems like a stronger/more deserving group. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Dr. Football beat me, Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest! |
