March 17, 2009 43 Comments
Welcome to Hawty McBloggy’s Video Game March Madness, where the traditional participants of college basketball teams have been replaced with your favorite video games! This is the first round of games in the Protagonist Division. Confused? Lost? Have no idea what you are doing here? Go read up about the tournament specifics here.
So many hard decisions >.<
Ugh. I will NEVER choose a Star Wars game.
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!
Whoa! This is going to be random but listen!!!!
PIE!!!!!!!!!!!
sry i had to…
Never. For the simple reason that I hate the storyline and Lucas’ no-talent fat neck.
Why not? KotOR was a stellar RPG that just happened to be set in the star wars universe…
Ouch…no SW love?
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?
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…
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.
~B.B.
You aren’t the only one! That’s why I included relevant system information with each game. :)
KOTOR vs Oblivion was a tough call. I chose Oblivion because it had better graphics :)
…and such is the path to the dark side…
~B.B.
or the cooler ending!
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
Halo 3 all the way.
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.
Perfect Dark was a great game. :)
Though GoldenEye was a bit better, imho.
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.
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.
I hope Perfect Dark and Halo 3 never go up against each other…
How can ANYONE like Leon Kennedy?? Ninja Gaiden FTW
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.
*Agitated sigh* If you hadn’t pick KOTOR, I would have had to killed the meatbag, master.
~B.B.
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.”
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.
You just HAD to put KotOR up against Oblivion… :(
Such a hard decision, but in the end it had to be KotOR.
same, and pokemon should have won
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 :/
KotOR for the win everyone!
Zelda vs. Halo in the 2nd Round? Are you frakking kidding me?! That’s the Championship Game!
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.
Ocarina of Time was awesome. N64 FTW!
Where the hell is GoldenEye?
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.
RE4 Vs. Ninja Gaiden was tough but RE4 single handed revitalized Gamecube and gave much needed refresher to the Resident Evil series.
!! 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
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*
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, …
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
All my faves are winning. Yay!
Everquest, H3, Ninja Gaiden, Pokémon, Mega Man, Sims, Oblivion, Soul Calibur.
PS. I do not approve of the feed bloating :evil:
