This one's impossible. Banjo's such a good game, but Tetris is Tetris. I've spent so many hours in Tetris, in various forms. My initial impulse was to vote for Banjo but Banjo's not as iconic or...genre-building (something like that) as Tetris.

Wow, for real? Banjo Kazooie has 2 votes when it's against the most perfect and successful puzzle game ever made?

Easy vote for Tetris, Banjo-Kazooie was a good, charming platformer, however it did take the 'collect-a-thon' thing a bit too far. Arguably bested by Banjo Tooie as well.

Banjo was awesome back in the day but it can't stand alongside Tetris.

So was mine :)
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up. Waiting for the showers to stop. Waiting for the penny to drop. One time. And I’ve been standing in a cloud of plans. Standing on the shifting sands. Hoping for an open hand. One time.

Vote banjo it's screwed anyway and if you like it may as well give it some sympathy votes.
