So many hard decisions >.<
Posted by Mizzy on March 17, 2009 at 10:48 am
Ugh. I will NEVER choose a Star Wars game.
Posted by bs angel on March 17, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Never?! It was hard for me to not put Star Wars Battlefront in the final line up as it’s one of my personal favorites!
Posted by Ny Hitman 0401 on March 17, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Whoa! This is going to be random but listen!!!!
PIE!!!!!!!!!!!
sry i had to…
Posted by Mizzy on March 19, 2009 at 11:16 am
Never. For the simple reason that I hate the storyline and Lucas’ no-talent fat neck.
Posted by Das Kalk on March 17, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Why not? KotOR was a stellar RPG that just happened to be set in the star wars universe…
Posted by piercingtiger on March 18, 2009 at 12:47 am
Ouch…no SW love?
Posted by Queen 0f Blades on March 18, 2009 at 2:27 am
Have you played KotOR Mizzy?
Have you seen the sexiness that is Carth Onasi!?
Sorry, I had a moment there.
Seriously though, KotOR was a groundbreaking game with an awesome twist. Did you play it? What didn’t you like about it?
Posted by BerserkerBarage on March 17, 2009 at 10:50 am
Ha! I think the last 2 brackets are the tough ones (the ones on the right side of the bracket).
I fear for the next lineup in the top part of this bracket though. I know who should win, but I don’t think a lot of others will see it that way.

RE4 over Ninja Gaiden? REALLY?
c’mon now…
Posted by BerserkerBarage on March 17, 2009 at 11:11 am
If it would have been RE4 vs. Ninja Gaiden Black, it would have been a tougher decision for me.
RE4 on the Cube was a breath of fresh air for that system. And yeah, I tally in what system we are talking about into my decision because I’m that big of a nerd.

Posted by bs angel on March 17, 2009 at 1:05 pm
You aren’t the only one! That’s why I included relevant system information with each game. :)
Posted by Firestream on March 17, 2009 at 11:07 am
KOTOR vs Oblivion was a tough call. I chose Oblivion because it had better graphics :)
Posted by BerserkerBarage on March 17, 2009 at 11:12 am
…and such is the path to the dark side…

Posted by triptup on March 17, 2009 at 11:27 am
or the cooler ending!
Posted by Tentimook on March 17, 2009 at 11:35 am
halo 3: 98 %
I feel like it will win just because this is mostly a Halo blog, we need to get more General Gamers on here
Posted by mcfree007 on March 17, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Halo 3 all the way.
Posted by pittofdoom on March 17, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Halo, Ratchet, KOTOR, and even Pokemon (for the sake of nostalgia) got my votes. Perfect Dark, too, even though I’ve never played it. It looks good.
Posted by Mike on March 17, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Perfect Dark was a great game. :)
Though GoldenEye was a bit better, imho.
Posted by bs angel on March 17, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Perfect Dark and GoldenEye are on opposite sides of the brackets so I doubt they’ll get to face off. I don’t know who I would vote for between those two anyways! Tough choice.
Posted by BerserkerBarage on March 17, 2009 at 1:21 pm
As much as I love GoldenEye (and I still to this day use the controller setup “Legacy” because of it) I have it losing the battle of the “7s” in it’s bracket to FF7.
Seriously 007 versus VII was a tough one for me.
~B.B.
Posted by Apollo Running on March 17, 2009 at 12:25 pm
I hope Perfect Dark and Halo 3 never go up against each other…
Posted by NartFOpc on March 17, 2009 at 12:36 pm
How can ANYONE like Leon Kennedy?? Ninja Gaiden FTW
Posted by Mondo Titan on March 17, 2009 at 3:26 pm
toughest choice on there: KOTOR vs Oblivion.
both games are so good. but i had to go with KOTOR on the assumption that it was the first one. the second one was not as good. stupid old lady always being a pain in the force! the biggest reason: HK-47. that was on of the funniest characters i’ve seen in a game in a long time.
Posted by BerserkerBarage on March 17, 2009 at 3:33 pm
*Agitated sigh* If you hadn’t pick KOTOR, I would have had to killed the meatbag, master.
~B.B.
Posted by Mondo Titan on March 17, 2009 at 3:40 pm
well played.
favorate quote:
HK – “there is a 98% chance that this meatbag wishes you to follow it.”
You – “98%?”
HK – “Explanation: 2% probability that the miniature organic meatbag is simply looking for trouble and needs to be blasted. That may be wishful thinking on my part, master.”
Posted by BerserkerBarage on March 17, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Nice. The HKs were definitely fun parts of KOTOR. What did he always say instead of saying he killed people? Facilitated the ceasing of hostilities or something like that? I haven’t played KOTOR in forever.
~B.B.
Posted by elpolloguapo on March 17, 2009 at 4:01 pm
You just HAD to put KotOR up against Oblivion… :(
Such a hard decision, but in the end it had to be KotOR.
Posted by Rhamsey on March 17, 2009 at 7:14 pm
same, and pokemon should have won
Posted by Phantom on March 17, 2009 at 4:55 pm
It seriously took me forever to pick between Oblivion and KOTOR, but I finally went with Oblivion. Looks like KOTOR’s gonna take the cake though. Oh well :/
Posted by Das Kalk on March 17, 2009 at 7:25 pm
KotOR for the win everyone!
Posted by radiant penguin on March 17, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Zelda vs. Halo in the 2nd Round? Are you frakking kidding me?! That’s the Championship Game!
Posted by BerserkerBarage on March 18, 2009 at 7:00 am
In my brackets, I have OoT having to go against both H3 and HCE. It’s quite the battle especially on a “Halo” related website. If for some god-forsaken reason OoT gets knocked out in the 2nd round by H3, I’m dicked as far as my bracket goes.
I mean come on people. Take everything that was kick ass about Super Mario 64 and put it into a Zelda game on the 64! So much to do that it took years to complete everything. Made you think “what’s this Playstation thing that people talk about?!?! I don’t need it, I gotz me a N64!”
Oh, and my fiancee and Will Wright were pissed that I took PD over the Sims.
~B.B.
Posted by Chicken on March 17, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Ocarina of Time was awesome. N64 FTW!
Posted by Chicken on March 17, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Where the hell is GoldenEye?
Posted by bs angel on March 17, 2009 at 7:51 pm
GoldenEye is in a different division. Hit the link in the intro for all the specifics if you haven’t read up on the tournament yet.
Posted by Rafael on March 17, 2009 at 9:47 pm
RE4 Vs. Ninja Gaiden was tough but RE4 single handed revitalized Gamecube and gave much needed refresher to the Resident Evil series.
Posted by PikminGod on March 18, 2009 at 12:13 am
!! pokemon is gunna lose round one…thats my number 2 pick…and to pacman! gross
ninja gay-dan and RE4 are neck and neck…WOOOOOOOOOO
Posted by Slitt Vicious on March 18, 2009 at 4:22 am
I was loaded and ready to do some serious complaining about Perfect Dark even being included in the tourney, but I noticed it was the n64 version, not the terrible, terrible 360 launch game. *WHEW*
Posted by bs angel on March 18, 2009 at 7:40 pm
I have traded in one game out of my entire Xbox 360 collection. I’m a collector so I hang onto absolutely everything, keeping them all lined up nicely in alphabetical order on my shelf. The only game I have traded in? The piece of shit that was the 360 version of Perfect Dark. You bet it’s nowhere on this list! LOL, …
Posted by StealthSpeed3 on March 18, 2009 at 5:30 am
had to go with KoTOR just because i am currently working on the sequel on the PC right now..
Zelda > Everquest – Link should always be a win
Halo 3 > SF2 – This was a given, Halo is just a great series
RE4 > Ninja Gaiden (just because i have it on the Wii and it’s a nice change from the previous games)
Pac > Pokemon – I got the Fever…
GT3 Sims
KOTOR > Elder Scrolls – Star Wars should always be a win
R&C:UYA < Soul Caliber
Posted by DethPwn on March 18, 2009 at 5:22 pm
All my faves are winning. Yay!
Posted by TheChrisD on March 19, 2009 at 2:32 am
Everquest, H3, Ninja Gaiden, Pokémon, Mega Man, Sims, Oblivion, Soul Calibur.
PS. I do not approve of the feed bloating :evil:
