It is simple all you have to do is vote which of the video games or video game series in the list above is best. Voting will be left open for one day only, so make sure to cast your vote.

Each heat at the beginning of the tournament will have a theme to the titles on the list (Best Racing Game, Best RPG, etc.) Which ever titles win in their heat will go on to the next round against 2 other game titles from the next one so two game titles go through per heat. The game titles included will all be non-RA2 so honest opinions on other games can be given.

This should be simple enough, so let the tournament commence

It was fixed. I kinda rushed and was using Steam for different titles and it had said both of them were RPG. But it is fixed one is in FPS and the other is in RPG.

You have left out a LOT of great games, and genres

The RPG category seems so thin on the ground, and most experience Bioware-ers generally don't think that Mass Effect is the best there. Throw in Baldur's Gate or Kotor in instead.

Also, Diablo doesn't quite fit the hack and slash category, especially when compared to No More Heroes. Chuck in Madworld or something instead.

Zelda fits the Adventure category far better than the action category. Considering Arkham City's more sandboxy nature and the nature/mood of the games, I'd swap Arkham into action and Zelda into adventure.

Also, Resi crosses a few genres. I'd put 1-4 in survival horror and 5-6 in Zombie games.

I'd just generally expand each category to 5 games because several groups are severely lacking in room for choice and good games.

Final Fantasy isn't really that good compared to the other RPGs to be honest (at least IMO). 7 onwards lack the important factor of engaging characters.

I disagree; I thought that IX and X both had engaging characters. I'm sort of a FF fan-boy though so my opinions will probably be biased.

That's fine, I really hate Tidus in X though :P

I`ve already edited it in my first post but I think Motorstorm should be on the racing game list
and maybe the Star Wars Jedi Knight series could be worth mentioning

Eh, he was pretty annoying at times. The game was awesome, though. :D
We need to revive the Final Fantasy thread...

Yeah, that's true. Issue with Jedi Knight is that it's very Doom-esque at times.

This needs a puzzle/strategy section, and 9H9P9D needs to be in it

Thyrus · « **Reply #17 on:** July 31, 2012, 05:39:31 AM »

I'd spilt up the valve list.

TF2 would go in a new list for best multiplayergames

HL to best shooters

Portal to puzzles

and L4D to zombiegames (or to multiplayer)

Badnik96 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 31, 2012, 05:44:45 AM »

F-Zero for racing obv
